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

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.

ย 

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.

๐Ÿ“œ 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).ย Recharging the battery: Shungite nullifies physiological stress produced by electric vehicles

๐Ÿ“œ 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


๐Ÿ“œ 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 ฮผm 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

๐Ÿ“œย 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.


๐Ÿ“œ 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.

๐Ÿ“œ 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

๐Ÿ“œ 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.ย Shungite, a natural source of fullerene, has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects against UVB-induced skin damage in hairless mice.

๐Ÿ“œ 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/

๐Ÿ“œ 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. The structure and composition of natural carbonaceous fullerene containing mineral shungite

๐Ÿ“œย  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

๐Ÿ“œ 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.

๐Ÿ“œ 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

๐Ÿ“œ 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.

๐Ÿ“œ A study found that flexible shungite plates with a thickness of 10-20 ฮผm had similar shielding performance to thicker synthetic polymer/carbon composites due to its conductive carbon matrix and micro-sized dielectric mineral inclusions. This suggests that shungite could be a promising raw material for manufacturing lightweight and corrosion-resistant shielding materials.

Shungite Bracelet with 8mm Beads

Alway wear my bracelet. As I work ETF environment feel protected

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 didnโ€™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 didnโ€™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 donโ€™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 itโ€™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

Very happy rookie Grounder

I received my order quickly, and eagerly installed the bed sheet and pillow cover. I was pleased with how easy it was. I had been a little concerned that I would be able to feel the grounding items under my bedding, and especially the pillowcase one. I was pleasantly surprised at how soft and flexible the grounding sheets are, and I cannot feel them at all! I've noticed myself sleeping deeper... waking up in the morning and realising I haven't woken at all during the night and a friend commented I look more rested than previously. My dogs also seem to want to spend more time on my bed than they used to, so I think they are also picking up the grounding! I'm very happy with my purchase.

Powerful shungiteโ€ฆ

โ€ฆ which turned out to be far more powerful than its promise. I am a fan of Mt Shasta so have renamed this beautiful precious stone.

Happy desk mat

I'm extremely sensitive and go through phases of struggling to earth because my whole body spins and I'm left dizzy for the day even after just 10 minutes of earthing, so I brought this small earthing/emf mat for my desk because I felt it maybe a nice way to just stop and sit with the mat for 10 minutes and see if I can work through the feelings. It's still intense, but I've been able to stand up and be okay with a few uses. I also purchased it because I let a friend borrow my other medium sized mat. The mats are very well made. The desk one is a decent one for a phone etc devices, added emf bonus with the phone on my lap at times. An as always extremely fast service from Blake and the team at Grounded Kiwi, worth supporting this awesome business.

Thank you for sharing your experience with our Earthing Desk Mat! We are happy to hear that it has been helpful for you and your sensitivities. Our team takes pride in creating quality products and we appreciate your support. Keep on grounding! - The Grounded Kiwi Team

Why didn't i buy this sooner!

For a long time i have suffered from pain everywhere it seems! I'm also at that age where perimenopause is kicking my butt with sleepless nights, body aches , needing a nap during the day etc. After coming back from a short break away in which involved alot of walking my body just didn't cope well. So when we got home your product came up on my news feed. I thought why not got nothing to loose by trying....
Well!! arrived very quickly and i promptly put it on my bed and bedtime rolled around, my body started tingling once i layed down which lasted 2 nights, but when i woke the next day i was energized! Walking was so much easier , the pain in my hips and knees had eased, my muscles were less tense. My brain fog had gone. I felt like a younger me again not a 52 year old lol. It took maybe 3 nights before i noticed i was sleeping so much better and whats even better my husband's snoring has got quieter so he must be sleeping better to !
So summary, painfree at the moment, more energy, better sleep, what more could you ask for. You won't regret buying one. Thank you for changing our lives.

Love the review! Thank you so much Shona!
