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.

 >>> RESEARCH PAPERS >>>

* 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.

* The 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

* The 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/

* The 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

* 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. RUSSIAN JOURNAL OF BUILDING CONSTRUCTION AND ARCHITECTURE

* 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. Research of Influence of Shungite on Mountain Waterfrom Bulgaria.Mathematical Models of Water Influenced from Shungite and Zeolite

* A study found that flexible shungite plates with a thickness of 10-20 μm 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. Electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of lightweight and flexible ultrathin shungite plates

Earthing rod

I love this as I'm living in my van atm and couldn't use my pillow case or earthing mat, but with the earthing rod problem solved

Earthing Shoe Strap

These are great and I'm noticing my feet and legs aren't so tired

Grounding mat

Love my grounding mat.....I have a lot of old injuries from sports, car accidents and also rheumatoid arthritis. So this has been great that I have put my mat I under my sheet for bed and definitely have had better sleeping habits, that one day I will buy the mattress sleeping mat so my husband can also benefit from this too.
This mat will travel with me whenever I am not at home.

Okay this is wild

This stuff ain't no joke folks. Put it on my phone, wild as. It's as if there's mass amounts of EMF radiation emanating from my phone. Take a look for yourself (https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5196(18)30221-3/fulltext), thanks Grounded Kiwi for helping my bro Van take it easier on his brain.

Felt it instantly

From the moment I put it on, I could tell it was doing exactly as proposed. I am sleeping far better, not to mention more energy during the day. The effects are noticeable, I have no desire to take it off, why would I? For anyone who may be skeptical; this isn't pseudoscience, if you feel it to be true, that it is :)

Small Earthing Mat

Really benefiting from my recently purchased grounding mat.
I thought I was a deep sleeper already, however, I'm waking up really refreshed, there's a definite difference.
Only one regret: I purchased the small Earthing mat, thinking I would save money. I would much prefer the larger one for full mattress coverage on my double bed.
Great service and communication, these people are great to deal with. They're after-purchase service is great too.
My parcel arrived promptly in the post.
Saving up now for a large mat $$$

Love my pendant tree of life

Loving my water filter on my kitchen tap

I have used this product for well over a year and just purchased another 2 filters to keep me going for a while.
I love how every-time I turn my tap on now I get pure fresh water, that no longer tastes toxic. I promote your products every chance I get
Thank you so much.

What do you mean handmade ?
Is it genuine authentic shungite?

Thanks for the review! Although I had to have a little giggle. No Shungite is not 'handmade' but the necklace was :)

Fantastic Results for me personally

Note* I purchased this a few weeks ago (Jan) and wanted to wait before reviewing.

My journey to purchasing this hydrogen water bottle started with following Gary Brecker who swears by them. I then looked at GroundedKiwi - because they are local and, I've already had fabulous service. I trust them. What sold me was the assurance over the product and quality. That if anything went wrong (with this expensive investment) then they would help.

First day getting - noticed increase in my hydration levels. By 1 week in - my skin was glowing, mental clarity increase. Reduced foggy brain. Now - at 4 weeks, I am ready to highly recommend this product. It has been live changing for me. I have chronic inflammation - multiple sclerosis. Upon starting with this, my symptoms have reduced dramatically. Whilst I have made some other tweaks to my lifestyle, I believe this water bottle is making a HUGE difference. I take it everywhere.
How I use it: morning upon waking, I fill it the night before and have it ready next to my bed. I wake and run the 3min cycle. Skull. Wait 30 mins. Then have coffee. Then I fill it again and run the 18min cycle. ready to start the day. Note I regularly intermittent fast.
Lunchtime - another 18min cycle
before dinner, 3min cycle.
after my evening walk or cycle 18min cycle.
So I'm having about 1.6 litres a day of hydrogen water and that works well for me.
We also invested in a top of the line water filtration system too. For maintenance, I've been running ultra distilled water through it (purchased at woolies) once every 6-7 days.
I love this bottle.
I also use the mister included multiple times a day to hydrate my face. Particularly great after a sauna.
Over the last few days, I used the nasal attachment. WOW. after my 90 min bike ride (e-bike) I used this and felt instantly energised!
If you are looking for a hydro water bottle. I highly recommend this. Watch out for the dodgy ones online, no warranty and you don't really know if it works.

Amaing review, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience of our Hydrogen water bottle. Great to hear that this water has been so good for as well as the hydrogen inhalation. I enjoy using these myself. Thank you :)

Perfect

Sleeping well and my kneck feels relaxed, first time for years.

Awesome! This is my favourite earthing item!
Happy Earthing - Blake

Earthing goodness

I received the tree of life pendant so quick plus an envelope that had been personal written on with vouches love the little touches the most 🤗 I love my pendant and I can feel the strength and how much more awear and centered I feel.
Great product look forward to purchasing a grounding sheets next and another filter for our water filter! Love grounded kiwi 🙌

Thank you so much for your review of Grounded Kiwi and our shungite pendants. Catch ya soon when you come back for your grounding sheet :)
- Blake

Absolutely worth a try.

Great product and fast delivery.
Was a bit sceptical too start with but have noticed a huge difference with my feet, ankles and hips.
Must be something too it if I am experiencing less pain.
Started off with some very strange tingling in my legs when using the mat. Eventually this went away and that's when I started noticing the benefits.
Just waiting for the small quilted mat to be back in stock and I will be grabbing one of those too.
Thanks very much 😀

The Earthing floor mat is definietley our communities favourite daytime earthing product. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and it so nice to hear from another kiwi that we have been able to help through earthing. - Blake

Best thing I ever did

This mat has made a world of difference to our lives. I cannot remember when last we had such a good night's sleep. We are waking up refreshed and ready for every day. The brain fog has lifted, the aches and pains are gone. Cannot begin to express how happy we are to have found Grounded Kiwi.

Single Matress Earthing Matt

I’ve only had the single Sheet Earthing Matt and with an intense training schedule and solo mum timetable I’m amazed at how good I feel when I wake up. Much less aches and pains, body feels like it’s recovering quicker after training and it seems to be helping my toddler during a teething season. Really pleased and can not wait to invest in more!

No heat when laptot/table on the emf/heat shied pad

Have been using this pad and found a big difference with no heat coming through or laptop heating up. Well worth the investment. Considering another one for around the house.

Making a difference straightaway

I was a bit skeptical as a health professional but ordered one after seeing such positive reviews. I wanted to buy from a Kiwi company.
I suffered from burning feet and restless legs and tried every natural remedy with limited relief. In 5 nights of using it, Ive slept much better and only had mild symptoms on night 4.
Im hoping it will also ease my joint discomfort.

Earth Floor Mat

I recently purchased an Earth Floor Mat. I have to say that I am overwhelmed with how wonderful it is. I have a very sensitive body and I like the gentle and steady impulses I receive. Today I did some floor yoga poses on it. The vibrational frequency is slow releasing even after using the mat and I certainly noticed having more clarity and energy for hours afterwards. Thank you so much Ground Kiwi. I highly recommend this product. Amandha.

A peaceful sleep at last!

I spend the evening with my legs on the blanket before bed and since doing so I am sleeping so much more restfully. It works, highly recommend getting one, or two, or three..!

Ear Buds

I am so happy with my EMF reducing ear buds. I listen to a lot of music and podcasts so I can relax knowing I am not being affected by EMF through my ear phones.

30mm Shunghite Pyramid

Tiny in size but looks nice sitting next to a plant and candle ( in front of our wifi router that sits right beside our couch) hoping this will reduce some of the emf from this corner of the lounge

Sphere for the bedroom

Happy with the purchase of the Shunghite Sphere. We have placed it in our bedroom. Our exterior wall has a smart meter on. Hoping this reduces some of the EMF. It also looks atheistically nice

Simple to use

Bought this with my mat to check. Quick and easy to use.

Dramatically Reduced Pain!

I have had bursitis in my shoulder, tendinitis in my elbows and lower back pain for a few years. Tried all the usuals (cortisone shots etc). I saw the earthing movie so thought I'd give it a shot. I've had the quilt for about a week and my pain has reduced dramatically and have more energy then I've had in a long time. I bought the small quilt to try it out and so I could move it easily and take on holiday with me. It's really the best money I've spent in a long time and intend to buy a big one for my bed and for other family members. Thanks ❤️

What a review! Thank you so much for sharing your earthing journey with us Jill. I am stoked to hear who much the natural healing power of the earth has helped you with pain reduction and more energy. Congratz aso, as you are our lucky WINNER of $50 credit for placing a review with a photo for last month - Happy Days - Blake

Earthing socket tester

Super easy to use. After spending lots of money on grounding sheets and having an old house I wanted the reassurance that the plug I was working as it should. Literally plug it in and it says if there are any issues and that it is earthing correctly.
