Recommended Reading: Shungite: Protection, Healing, and Detoxification by Regina Martino 

Regina Martino's book, delves into the fascinating science and history surrounding this enigmatic mineral. Drawing on numerous double-blind scientific studies and medical research, Martino unveils shungite's diverse arsenal of benefits:

EMF and Radiation Shield: In our tech-saturated world, electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and radiation from computers, phones, and Wi-Fi are omnipresent. Shungite, according to research, acts as a natural barrier, potentially counteracting the harmful effects of these invisible waves.

Natural Detoxifier: Feeling sluggish or overwhelmed by environmental toxins? Shungite's unique composition, including fullerenes (powerful carbon molecules), is believed to purify and revitalize the body, aiding in detoxification and promoting overall well-being.

Antioxidant Powerhouse: Free radicals wreak havoc on our cells, accelerating aging and contributing to various health issues. Shungite's potent antioxidant properties help combat these damaging molecules, protecting your body from oxidative stress.

Immune System Booster: Feeling under the weather? Shungite might be your ally! Research suggests it can stimulate the immune system, potentially enhancing your body's natural defenses against illness.

Pain Relief and Inflammation Reduction: Aching joints or irritated skin? Shungite's potential anti-inflammatory properties may offer natural relief from discomfort, promoting healing and soothing irritated tissues.

Water Purification and Revitalization: Beyond your body, shungite can benefit your environment too! Its unique properties are believed to purify water, removing impurities and revitalizing its taste and energy.

 

Martino's book doesn't just tout the benefits; it delves into the scientific reasoning behind each claim, citing research and studies to support her assertions.

But shungite's magic extends beyond the physical. Martino explores its energetic properties, suggesting it can facilitate harmony within the body's energy centers (chakras) and even connect us to higher energies beyond the physical realm.

📜 This study investigates the impact of electromagnetic fields (EMF) generated by electric vehicles on heart rate variability (HRV) and saliva cortisol, and whether a protective device made of shungite can counter stress responses.

When participants were exposed to EMF while using a protective device made of shungite, their HRV increased and their cortisol decreased, indicating a reduction in stress.

The study concludes that EMF produced by electric vehicles cause autonomic stress responses on a neurocardiac and neuroendocrine level. However, these responses can be nullified by a special form of shungite (EssenceX). Recharging the battery: Shungite nullifies physiological stress produced by electric vehicles

📜 This paper investigates a new method for defluorination of drinking water using galvanocoagulation with aluminum and shungite as half-cells of the galvanic couple. The researchers found that the fluoride ions were removed most completely at an aluminum:shungite ratio of 1:1.5 and that the process was significantly dependent on the initial pH value. Using Shungite in Water Defluoridation by Galvanocoagulation


📜 This paper investigates the reflective and absorbing properties of shielding materials made from natural graphene-containing shungite. The authors found that flexible shungite plates with a thickness of 10-20 μm showed good reflection and absorption, similar to a thicker 2-3 mm synthetic polymer/carbon based composites. Electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of lightweight and flexible ultrathin shungite plates

📜 This study found that noble elite shungite (EShE) has electrochemical properties that are nearly identical to those of a standard glassy carbon electrode (GCE), while black raw shungite (BShE) has markedly worse electrochemical properties. This is likely due to the higher carbon content of EShE and the presence of poorly conductive impurities in BShE.


📜 This researchers also tested the use of EShE electrodes in three different electroanalytical applications and found that they performed well. This suggests that EShE could be a cheap alternative to commercially marketed electrodes.

📜 This study investigated the antioxidant, cytotoxic, and adsorption properties of Karelian Shungite. The researchers found that Shungite has antioxidant activity, but it is approximately 1000 times less pronounced than that of quercetin. Shungite was also found to be cytotoxic to cancer cells. The authors suggest that Shungite could be used as an alternative to activated carbon in water purification and in the production of fullerenes and other carbon nanoclusters. A Study of the Antioxidant, Cytotoxic Activity and Adsorption Properties of Karelian Shungite by Physicochemical Methods

📜 This abstract describes a study that investigated the effects of shungite on UVB-induced skin damage in hairless mice. The researchers found that shungite significantly improved skin parameters, reduced the proinflammatory response, and counterbalanced ROS/RNS and superoxide levels. They also confirmed the involvement of Nrf2- and MAPK-mediated oxidative stress pathways in the antioxidant mechanism of shungite.

Overall, the study provides strong evidence that shungite has the potential to protect the skin from UVB-induced damage. Shungite, a natural source of fullerene, has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects against UVB-induced skin damage in hairless mice.

📜 Robert F. Curl Jr., Sir Harold W. Kroto, and Richard E. Smalley shared the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their discovery of fullerenes present in Shungite https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/chemistry/1996/press-release/

📜 This study examines the composition and structural properties of shungite, a natural mineral with fullerene content. Scanning electron microscopy is used to obtain data on its nanostructure, while its physical and chemical properties are also investigated. The study shows that shungite is a promising absorbent for various industries due to its high absorption, catalytic, and bactericidal activity, particularly in water treatment and purification.

📜  Shungite, a natural source of fullerene, has been shown to have remarkable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties against UVB-induced skin damage in a recent study. This amazing mineral improved skin parameters, reduced inflammation, and counterbalanced ROS/RNS and superoxide levels in serum and skin lysates. It's a natural, effective, and scientifically-proven way to protect your skin and support your overall health and wellbeing. Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Shungite against Ultraviolet B Irradiation-Induced Skin Damage in Hairless Mice

📜 Shungite is a mineral that is effective in absorbing microwave energy. A study found that increasing the concentration of shungite in building mixtures resulted in an increase in absorption up to 24 dB/cm. The optimal ratio of shungite to binder is 50-60 percent, at a frequency range of 3-12 GHz. This suggests that shungite can be used as a filler or binder in building mixtures to create protective coatings against electromagnetic energy.

📜 This study found that shungite, a mineral with absorption, catalytic, antioxidant, regenerating, and antibacterial properties, has significant antioxidant activity and can reduce oxidized components while binding to free radicals. This suggests that shungite could be used as an alternative to activated carbon in water purification.Study of the Antioxidant, Cytotoxic Activity and Adsorption Properties of Karelian Shungite by Physicochemical Methods

📜 This study analyzed the properties of shungite and zeolite minerals using various methods such as transmission electron microscopy and IR-spectroscopy. The study found that shungite possesses restructuring properties and hydrogen bonding energy similar to zeolite, indicating potential uses in industries such as water treatment and purification due to its absorption, catalytic, and bactericidal properties.

Tuning forks work

I had a recent injury to my shoulder and it was shown in an ultrasound that I had torn my rotator muscle. I couldn’t lift my arm and within a week of using the 128 hz fork 3 times a day I had inproved movement. After 2 weeks of use I am able to lift my arm above my shoulder with no discomfort. Truly these work and would highly recommend them .super happy with my purchase ❤️❤️

Great service

After I received my tuning forks I had a few questions, which had been answered without delay. I am very happy with the service. It always pays to buy local 😊. Now I will have to learn more about how to use the tuning forks.

Sheet and wrap

I brought the grounding sheet for a freind's birthday present but his birthday is not until beginning October so i can not review his expereince with the sheet. though, i have it wrapped up ready and each time he visits he touches the wrapped present and wonders what is inside so he is actually getting some pleasure trying to guess whilst he fiddles with it. his temptation to open it is strong but he walks away when at the point of tearing the paper off it. However i really like the little wrap and seem to have some small changes goiing on within me. I sufferd a perilous medical event late last year resulting in cardiomyopathy. . I would be pleased to win the mat as I would like to get one for my daughter. I think it could be helpful for her. thank you , She tells me that last year and this year have been really bad for her with happenings.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Single Earthing Mat. We are so happy to hear that you are enjoying the sheet and wrap, and we hope your friend will love it as well when he opens it for his birthday!

Finally Sleeping Better!

I have been suffering with insomnia since menopause began for me a couple of years ago. Some nights I was so wired that I would be awake all night with my mind in overdrive. I purchased a earthing pillow case which was definitely helpful so I decided to get the earthing mat for my bed too. It has made a huge difference with not only my sleep but how I feel in general as well. More energy and a lot calmer . . I look forward to more improvements once I have used this a bit longer! Thank you Grounded Kiwi!! :)

Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing your experience of sleeping Earthed. So happy to hear that grounding is putting your mind at ease.

Waking up without brain fog for the first time in years

I can't afford a bed-sized grounding mat, so I got myself this small mat and am using it in bed, either under my torso if it's warm enough to sleep without a T-shirt on, or under my legs if not.
After only one night I could feel the difference.
It is SO GOOD to wake up with a clear head. Thank you!

Isn't Earthing so cool! It is a completely natural way to help the body. Thank you for the review - Happy Earthing - Blake

Very Pleased with the 9000 ppb Hydrogen Water Bottle

I have been using the 9000 ppb hydrogen water bottle for almost 3 weeks now and am very pleased with the results. Often it is difficult to tell with health interventions if they are having a positive impact or not, but I am quite sure the hydrogen water has improved things for me. I have Crohn's disease with associated chronic inflammation and chronic fatigue. My energy levels have certainly improved enabling me to exercise more which I'm thrilled about. I haven't had my inflammation levels tested since using the hydrogen water but my trips to the bathroom have decreased indicating an improvement there for which I'm very grateful. I use the 18 minute cycle 3 times a day. This is one intervention I will definitely continue to use.

Awesome! Thank you so much for the review and good on you for looking at way to support your wellbeing. I understand (through a friend of mine) how bad chrons can be, not just on the body but the constant struggle with energy that 'plays on the mind'. Thank you so much for writing such a detailed review that I hope others will read and get benefit from. Thank you Joan - Blake

Goodbye neuropathy

I didn’t know what to expect when I tried my sisters grounding sheet. But I was surprised that the next day after using her sheet that the neuropathy in my feet was over 50% better. Parts of my feet have been numb for over 25 years. So I was sold on the benefits. I ordered my own sheet which I use under my cotton fitted sheet. My sisters was a silver thread one which I didn’t want as you have to wash it regularly and I could see it might not last long so I went for the carbon sheet from Grounded Kiwi. It arrived quickly with updates on where it was and when to expect it. I don’t notice the sheet under my fitted cotton sheet although there is a warm feeling to it probably just my body warmth reflected. There is an improvement in my feet the more I use it. I am also sleeping better and it’s a deeper sleep. I would have paid the same price as the sheet cost if I could go to a doctor and he could have given me the same benefits. So glad I have the benefits without using medications, but something natural. It should be standard that Beds should be made with grounding sheets made into them so everyone can experience the benefits. I will definitely recommend to anyone. Grounding is great.

Truly amazing! What a change and I am just so happy for you! Thank you for sharing your experience of our earthing mat. I know other people in a similar situation will get great benefit of reading your words.

First time in decades, I've slept this good

Im in love! Since sleeping on the Earthing mat, I feel rested. Its a calm, peaceful, quiet presence and im so thankful I finally invested in a mat. I'm a shift worker and this mat is nothing short of a miracle.
Not only does it give me better sleep, I also have a nigly knee from a torn cartilage, years ago. The earthing mat always sooths it and sees it right the next morning.
Sometimes I feel like I go to bed broken, and the mat gently puts me back together. I really cant imagine living without an earthing mat anymore.
If anyone is sitting on the fence, this is your sign! I higly recommend it!!

It's reviews like this that warm my heart and keep us going. I just love being able to help people with Earthing.
Thank you so much for your review of our earthing mat Caroline
