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.

📜 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.

Excellent sleep

I bought the Earthing Pillow Cover and definately an excellent product, sleeping ten times better , I get up and don’t want to go back to sleep

Coiled cord

With my grounding products only half a meter from the wall plug the coiled cord is perfect!

Best thing I’ve done for my health in a long time

Got a grounding Mat off the website! Thank you Blake for fast and efficient delivery. Have had lower back issues for ages and inflammation. Using the mag has just helped me with all of these issues and I feel more relaxed, sleep better. I’m spreading the word about this Kiwi company and their wonderful products. I even told my chiropractor! I’ve also got my wife a grounding mat to sleep on. Thank you so much! Adam.

Pure water

It’s great to have lively tasting water not tainted with chlorine. Have ordered filters to remove the fluoride as well. No more nasty tasting cup of teas or glasses of water. Use it when cooking as well.

Best sleep ever!

I did a lot of research and saved up for an investment in this grounding mat.
I had no idea what it would feel like after grounding, I usually feel good after gardening for a while outside, but In winter and while it is frosty, also with a busy family, I just don’t get the chance to ground.
After reading the reviews and lots of research I reluctantly took the plunge investing in this product
hoping it would help my energy system in some way, yet I remained very skeptical.
Well my grounding mat arrived yesterday, I have had my first sleep on it and I can hands down confirm what a huge difference it has made just after one night sleep.
I actually got up at 3:30am after having very vivid dreams which I havn’t managed to even dream properly in years so that was very lovely, anyway I awoke so happy I was crying because I could feel my heart, my brain, my bladder and everything inside me that has water, was all beating coherently and in sync to my heart beat which was very strong regular and relaxed. I haven’t felt this way since I was a teen.
The whole energy in my body is strong on waking up, my fascia on all my limbs is relaxed instead of tight and aching even on parts that I didn’t think were that bad were relaxed and felt so calm.
I literally got out of bed this morning thanking god for fixing my health as I was crying happy tears.
I was so emotional I didn’t get back to sleep, but felt so good in my body I didn’t care, I havn’t felt like this inside my body since I was a teenager (I am 38 now).
I am super grateful that I can have this on my bed every night. I can’t imagine what it will feel like after a month, when I feel this good after one night!
I am going to save up and buy one each for my 4 and 2 year old so they can benefit too!
They both noticed this morning getting into my bed that something was different as they didn’t want to get off my bed, my 4 year old asked why the energy from the trees is in the bed as she pointed to my pot plants in my room.
I just wanted to sincerely thank you for making this product for people to buy, bless you guys!

Oh wow! This is the best review I think ive ever had! I feel truly blessed to be helping so many people reconnect to this energy and it still blows me away just how good earthing is for us as we sleep. Megan, thank you so much for sharing your experience and for taking the change to give grounding a go. You have put a smile on me today! Thank you so much for being part of my journey too!
Happy Earthing to you and your family! - Blake

Quilted chair pad

I have this pad on my chair as well as the longer one on my bed, I am sleeping much deeper, not getting up 2- 3 times a night going toilet. Occasionally might get up if I have drunk too much water before going to bed. I eat mostly carnivore and have found I don't want to drink as much water. One biggy is no more cramp. In the last couple of weeks I have noticed more focus in my thinking.

Grounding blanket

I have used this blanket for my teenage son in hospital when he broke his arm, snapping both bones requiring an operation. He was admitted and put on some serious painkillers which I monitored, after the first night using the grounding blanket his pain had eleviated to pamol and codeine which I administered every 4- 6 hrs. He had his operation and again was given serious painkillers which he didn't need to use. Stuck with pamol and codeine for the next day and night and no more painkillers he didn't need to use them. His arm healed quickly with minimum use of painkillers doctors were impressed with his quick healing to which I showed them the grounding blanket. The blanket contributed to him sleeping well in hospital and when we returned home after 3 days. By day 5 he says he didn't need to use the blanket he was comfortable and pain-free

Hey Vinne! Jeeper! Your poor son, I hope the recovery is going well still. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and its just so cool to hear the part that earthing was able to help with. Thank you for showing the Doctors to! We need to bring more people along on this natural health solution. Thank you for the powerful review and we wish your son a full and quick recovery. - Best regards, Blake

Feeling protected

I work in a high emf radiation environment so I have been wearing my necklace everyday since I purchased it. I am feeling protected and less affected by the effects of emf. I tested my necklace with an EMF meter and it consistently showed a noticeable drop in emf radiation when I put the necklace between the meter and the modem.

Life changing grounding experience

I bought this mat out of curiosity. I really thought this was just a gimmick but I was willing to give it a go anyway. As soon as it arrived I set it up under my desk and felt a little lighter like I wasn't carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders. I got this idea to try and sleep on it to see if I noticed any difference. I got the deepest most restful sleep of my life. I woke up without any aches and pain. I felt like I could fly like a bird. I've slept on it ever since and I never want to sleep without it ever again. I've just ordered a super king mat so I'm hoping it's even better

hahahahaha love this MJ
Converting the sceptic is alot of fun for me! Thank you for giving earthing a go and then for sharing your experience. This means alot to us! Much gratitude! - Happy Earthing - Blake

Ah, the relief!

I’m so aware of grounding, but with winter coming and needing longer times to earth, I got the quilted pad. I chose that because it gave me lots of options for where to use. Currently, it is draped over the sofa arm so I can get some relief from the arthritis in my fingers. Has been working well after only a few days. Sleep has improved too. I have also had the pad on the floor for my feet, and can put it on my bed by my pillow. Great to be able to take it away with me too.
I noted the first few hours my hands, legs and feet got very warm and tingly (like pins and needles), but it’s not really a bother now I have been using the pad for a bit.
I’m very happy with the product and the marvellous service, from a local company too.

Blows my mind! I just love hearing back how impactful this connection to the Earth has been for our community! Helping others live a life in less pain and better quality of life is just so good! Thank you so much for sharing your experience, as there are many Kiwis in a similar health situation and if they read your review hopefully they too will give earthing a chance to help support them. Happy Earthing - Blake

Wonderful product

I’m feeling so much better since l’ve been using my grounding mat. Not so many aches and pains. I’m 80 years old .

That is so nice to hear Margaret! You gave me a nice smile this morning waking up and reading your review. Many people just accept living in pain when you really dont need to. Earthing can definitely help to support us!

Won't sleep without it now !

I researched and read copious amounts of information about grounding and watched several you tube /Instagram documentaries and read 100s of reviews here in NZ and internationally before I logically decided what I already intuitively knew. I purchased a grounding mat for my bed to help ease mild pain and inflammation, disperse built up static electricity, attract a peaceful night's sleep and just to connect back to the earth. I can't spend my days barefoot so sleeping 8 hours grounded is perfect. I now go to sleep and stay asleep until morning. Best $ ever spent for my body. Thank you.

Awesome!! Thank you so much for the wonderful review Robyn. Yes once your start earthing you dont ever want to sleep without being connected to the earth. You definitely notice the difference if you do!!
Happy Earthing - Blake
