Research

Earthing studies, combined with the experiences of thousands of individuals who have tried grounding, consistently demonstrate a reduction in pain. This reduction in pain provides evidence that inflammation may be reduced as well, indicating other potential health benefits. While further research is needed to confirm these findings, the studies offer promising results.

 

 

The research paper explores the positive effects of grounding (electrically conductive contact with the Earth) on human physiology and health, particularly inflammation, immune response, wound healing, and chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The paper emphasises the importance of the duration and degree of grounding.

The paper concludes that grounding produces measurable differences in the concentrations of white blood cells, cytokines, and other molecules involved in the inflammatory response, and positively affects pain reduction and immune response in muscle injury.

Grounding - The universal anti-inflammatory remedy


Discover the benefits of Earthing (grounding) - better sleep, reduced inflammation, pain and stress, and improved blood flow. A study found that just one hour of contact with the Earth can significantly improve blood circulation, promoting autonomic nervous system control and enhancing facial tissue repair and skin health. Try Earthing for yourself and optimize your appearance from the inside out. 

One-Hour Contact with the Earth’s Surface (Grounding) Improves Inflammation and Blood Flow—A Randomized, Double-Blind, Pilot Study


This study investigated the effectiveness of grounding, or direct contact with the Earth, as a non-pharmacological therapy for treating sleep disturbances, anxiety, and depression in patients with mild Alzheimer's disease. The results showed that grounding significantly improved sleep quality compared to the placebo group.

The study found that grounding had consistent beneficial effects on pain, physical function, and mood, which are highly relevant to massage therapists. Previous results from the same trial also showed improvements in inflammatory biomarkers, blood viscosity, and heart rate variability, suggesting that grounding can benefit massage therapists in multiple domains relevant to their occupation and overall health and quality of life. 

The Effects of Grounding (Earthing) on Bodyworkers’ Pain and Overall Quality of Life: A Randomized Controlled Trial


The study investigated the effects of grounding on high blood pressure in a pilot case history series. Patients grounded themselves at home for at least 10 hours per day for several months, and their blood pressure was measured at baseline and at regular intervals. Results showed significant improvements in all 10 patients, with an average decrease of 14.3% in systolic levels. The study suggests that grounding is a safe and effective therapy for reducing blood pressure and warrants further research. 

Grounding Patients with Hypertension Improves Blood Pressure: A Case History Series Study 2018


This study aimed to investigate whether grounding in the presence of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) found in a typical housing environment produces harmful currents in the human body. Fifty participants were involved in the study, and the results showed that grounding significantly reduced AC body voltage, and the AC currents generated during grounding were much lower than the minimum level of perception. Therefore, the study concluded that normal levels of EMFs present in houses do not produce harmful currents when a person is grounded. 

Effects of Grounding on Body Voltage and Current in the Presence of Electromagnetic Fields


Study examined the effect of 1 hour of grounding on blood viscosity during yoga exercises in 28 participants. Subjects were grounded or sham-grounded with a grounded yoga mat, and blood was taken pre and post-exercise to measure viscosity. Subjects grounded to the earth had significantly reduced post-exercise systolic and diastolic blood viscosity. The study suggests that grounding has the ability to affect exercise-induced inflammation, thereby reducing blood viscosity.


Grounding the Human Body during Yoga Exercise with a Grounded Yoga Mat Reduces Blood Viscosity


This study investigated the effects of grounding after moderate eccentric contractions on pain, creatine kinase (CK), and complete blood counts. Results showed that grounding significantly reduced CK loss from injured muscles, indicating reduced muscle damage. Grounding also produced changes in blood counts not observed in the sham-grounded group, warranting further study on the effects of earthing on delayed onset muscle damage. 

Grounding after moderate eccentric contractions reduces muscle damage

 

The study investigated the effect of direct barefoot contact with the Earth on prehypertension. 53 prehypertensive individuals were randomly assigned to a study group and a control group. The study group showed a significant decrease in blood pressure after an hour of barefoot contact, while the control group did not. The study suggests that barefoot contact with the Earth can be a cost-effective and simple method for preventing hypertension.

The study investigated the effect of earthing on facial blood flow by grounding or non-grounding 40 subjects for at least one hour. Grounded subjects showed improved facial blood flow regulation compared to non-grounded subjects, suggesting possible benefits for skin tissue repair and facial appearance. The study suggests that the Earth may have a novel influence on skin health and
appearance.

Grounding the Human Body Improves Facial Blood Flow Regulation: Results of a Randomized, Placebo Controlled Pilot Study

 

Study evaluated the effects of earthing (direct contact with earth or a metal conductor) during cycling on biochemical parameters in 42 participants in a double-blind, crossover study. Blood samples were taken before and after cycling with or without earthing. Participants with earthing had significantly lower blood urea levels during exercise and recovery, indicating a possible positive protein balance. Earthing during exercise may inhibit hepatic protein catabolism or increase renal urea excretion. 

Differences in Blood Urea and Creatinine Concentrations in Earthed and Unearthed Subjects during Cycling Exercise and Recovery

 

This study examined the effects of grounding (physical contact with the earth's surface) on the electrical charge of red blood cells (RBCs) and RBC clumping. Ten healthy adult subjects were grounded with conductive patches on the soles of their feet and palms of their hands for 2 hours. The results showed that grounding increased the surface charge on RBCs and significantly reduced RBC aggregation. This suggests that grounding may be a simple and effective intervention for reducing cardiovascular risk and events by reducing blood viscosity and clumping. 

Earthing (Grounding) the Human Body Reduces Blood Viscosity—a Major Factor in Cardiovascular Disease

 

The article explores the effect of the Earth's electric potential on the human body. Measurements were taken of the electric potential on various points of the body in both earthed and unearthed conditions. Contact with the Earth causes a rapid decrease in electrostatic potential on the body and in venous blood, and movement of the body causes transient changes in potential. The results suggest that the Earth's electromagnetohydrodynamic potential may play a role in regulating bioelectrical and bioenergetical processes.

Earthing the Human Organism Influences Bioelectrical Processes

 

This study looked at the effects of grounding, or earthing, on heart rate variability (HRV). Grounding is a natural bioelectric potential that can support physiological changes in the body. The study found that grounding techniques improved HRV beyond basic relaxation in 27 participants. This suggests that grounding can be used as a basic strategy to support the cardiovascular system, especially in situations where the sympathetic nervous system is more activated than the parasympathetic nervous system.

Emotional Stress, Heart Rate Variability, Grounding, and Improved Autonomic Tone: Clinical Applications

 

This study examined the effects of grounding the human body with a copper conductor on physiologic processes. The study found that earthing during night rest caused reductions in serum concentrations of iron, calcium, and phosphorus, as well as affecting thyroid function and blood glucose levels. Earthing also influenced sodium, potassium, magnesium, iron, protein, and albumin concentrations. The study concludes that earthing influences physiologic processes and may regulate endocrine and nervous systems.

Earthing the Human Body Influences Physiologic Processes

The article proposes a hypothesis that chronic inflammation is the underlying cause of all chronic diseases and that various environmental stresses, including those that disturb physiology and those whose absence is disruptive, contribute to chronic inflammation. Earthing may potentially help by reducing these stresses and promoting overall health and well-being.

Thankful

I recently moved into a new flat and purchased a smart meter cover and was amazed to feel a huge change in energy, the minute the cover was put over my smart meter. It's hard to explain, but I could feel a huge nothing ness, whereby the energy in front of the meter,in my room and hallway was very uncomfortable before the cover went on. I am sleeping better too as the meter is directly opposite my bedroom door and faces the head of my bed. I am extremely grateful to have purchased this cover and heartfelt happy that it actually works and was such an immediate noticeable energetic change also.

What a game changer

Was feeling very spaced out and took alot of time of work and goin to docs to see what was goin on
Purchased a mat and bed mat and it's changed my life. Feel like myself now after only a couple days of using the product. Thanks grounded kiwi.

It’s lovely, however, unable to rate otherwise

Loving my Earthing mat

I am super pleased with my purchase. It has certainly helped me get back to sleep faster, whereas it would normally take me an hour or more. So that in itself is fabulous. I was also very impressed with the fast delivery and the care in the packaging. Just so perfectly done. Thankyou so much.

Earthing Socks with grounding connection

I bought the earthing socks with the grounding connection to see if my results were as good as other reviews, and the results have been more than I expected. My feet are usually numb and my ankles hurt after walking for 30 mins. I wake up every morning and hobble until the circulation improves.
After 5 nights my feet pain has nearly disappeared. My ankles are not painful and my sleep is so deep. I have not experienced this for many years.
The grounded connection cord is noticeable when navigating where to put the cord in bed as it attaches to the socks like a dome, but, when in bed and comfortable I never feel the cord. A very minor inconvenience considering the health benefits. A good substitute to start with until I get my earthing mat for my bed. I am definintely coming back for more! Thankyou Grounded
Kiwi, you have changed my life with these products. Feeling grateful!

Fabulous

I've been on some very hard painkillers & not much happened but sleeping with the earthing blanket has felt miraculous.....thank you.

so Cool :)
Thank you for the review !

Amaaazing!

Love it! Haven't taken it off since I got it :)

Thanks for the review Sharleen. Glad to hear you are enjoying your shungite as much as we do - Blake

I am unable to walk around with the product around my knee. It is simply too large for my knee and although there is an adjustment on the wrap, it is still too large for me. I am petite, so this may not be an issue with others. However, in saying this, I do sit with the wrap around my knee while watching television etc. Yes, I do believe it is actually helping…which has pleasantly surprised me!

Thank you for your valuable feedback, we appreciate it. We understand that everyone's body is different and we will take your feedback into consideration as we continue to improve our products. We are glad to hear that the wrap is helping you while sitting and we hope it continues to provide relief. Thank you for choosing our unique to Grounded Kiwi product - Blake

EMF hat

I wore this hat to bed last night, pulled down over my eyes and wow i will not be sleeping without it going forward. I am sensitive to EMF and could feel this working and blocking. I woke up for the first time in ages with a clear head. I had wondered if it blocked the experimental 5g as my meter will not even read this, but YES I am convinced it does block it... thanks heaps to a great product

Thank you for the revie Giles, Glad to hear you are enjoying you cap :)

this really works

Myself and my partner had both had our credit card details stolen in the last 3 months. we figured it must have been from some one scanning our cards so we got this tape to give it a go and see if it would protect our cards from being able to be scanned. I made a little envelope out of the tape and tried to use pay wave with my card in side it. Wouldn't work at all not even touching the machine. Took my card out of the envelope went through straight away. We have now lined our wallets.

Thank you for sharing your positive experience with our RFID Blocking Conductive Tape! We are glad to hear that it has effectively protected your credit card information from being scanned. Your DIY envelope idea is genius and we are happy to be a part of keeping your cards safe. Thank you for choosing our product and for taking the time to leave a review. Have a great day!

So helpful

I emailed the company for guidance on which products to buy and got back a detailed email with my options. I was impressed that one of the options they gave me was to sew something myself. I think I’d still be confused and wouldn’t have bought anything without their help. Now I’m set up with shields for my modem, phone and laptop. I don’t have a meter to take readings but I feel good about having taken these measures.

Best thing ever (post concussion healing accelerator))

Have used for 2 weeks now. Has made a big difference to inflammation in my body with consistent deep sleeps and proper grounding to earth's healing energies. 10/10 can recommend for everybody. Many illnesses are caused by inflammation, so getting plenty of time grounded can be crucial for optimal health.

What a powerful review!! Thank you so much Jade and it is just so cool that the Earthing mat has been able to help you recover from injury. The Earth is so powerful!

Trusted site to buy from and definitely will buy more, Thank you Blake and GroundedKiwi! 🫶💥

I was so excited to receive my shungite pendant, but it broke off after putting it back on after my shower. I was so gutted, Because when I got my piece I could feel it working straight away with neutralizing the pain I was going through, I messaged GroundedKiwi. I got a message back from Blake who said they will send me a replacement. Thank you so much, for awesome honest, friendly, customer service, and this replacement piece is soo beautiful the photo doesn't do it justice, to show the rainbow colors on the sides of it. Yes and it's over 10g 😊 👍💯💛
