What is most profound about Earthing is that it is so natural and simple, and that it affects every aspect of human physiology. When you ground yourself, the entire body readjusts to a new level of functioning, the level, in fact, it seems to have been designed for throughout evolution. Many people who have lived Earthed for some years say that they do not want to go back to living ungrounded. They feel the difference. Living Earthed broadly elevates your quality of life to a level that seems not otherwise possible.
James Oschman, Ph.D., an internationally-renowned expert on energy medicine and a member of our board of advisors, describes the phenomenon thusly: “Recently I attended a meeting on the East coast. One of my colleagues came in from the West coast. She had a bad case of jet lag. I told her to take her shoes and socks off and step outside on the grass for 15 minutes. When she came back in, she was completely transformed. Her jet lag was gone. That is how fast Earthing works. Anyone can try this. If you don’t feel well, for whatever reason, just make barefoot contact with the Earth for a few minutes and see what happens. Of course, if you have a medical problem, you should see a doctor. There is nothing that comes close to Earthing for quick relief. You can literally feel pain draining from your body the instant you touch the Earth.”

The body is mostly water and minerals. It is a good conductor of electricity (electrons). The free electrons on the surface of the Earth are easily transferred to the human body as long as there is direct contact. Unfortunately, synthetically-soled shoes act as insulators so that even when we are outside we do not connect with the Earth’s electric field. When we are in homes and office buildings, we are also insulated and unable to receive the Earth’s balancing energies. 



This differs from person to person and depends on the symptoms. A lot of people feel positive results after 1 or 2 nights, sometimes it can take longer. For instance, there are people who stopped snoring from the first night on.

An Earthing Checklist

After starting Earthing, most people say they feel better and sleep better. Sometimes it happens dramatically and rapidly. Sometimes subtly and slowly.

Our studies show, without any doubt, that every person’s physiology is affected who is connected to the Earth.

Some people who are optimally healthy and who sleep well may not feel anything significant, yet they are benefitting nevertheless from the countless ways that Earthing affects the body. Elite athletes whose bodies operate in super-high gear often say they recover faster from competition, training, and injuries.

Some individuals wonder why they feel no change, so we’ve written this report in an attempt to explain a lack of expected improvements for individuals new to Earthing. We hope you have read the Earthing book and previous reports posted here and have a good grasp on what goes on in your body when you begin Earthing.

One thing we want to unequivocally say is this:

When people say they aren’t getting any benefits from Earthing, we ask them if they have a working ground, the results of connecting an Earthing product to a ground rod outside or to a properly grounded wall outlet (as determined by an outlet checker). If they have a good ground connection, the problem may be that they don’t have sufficient contact with the sheet or mat or band. That is, not enough time spent grounded.

Maybe eight hours is not enough time being grounded. Eight hours grounded means 16 hours ungrounded. That may not be enough, especially for individuals with compromised health. We have found this often to be the case, for example with women who suffer with multiple sclerosis. Eight hours wasn’t enough. When they grounded for 16 hours, they got results, sometimes dramatic.

Generally speaking, we believe that if you are grounded 24/7 you can’t have chronic inflammation in your body.

Here is our short list of issues to consider:

● Confirm Your Earth Connection

Test your outlet for a proper ground with an outlet checker. Many homes, particularly older homes built before the 1960s, may have never been grounded (earthed) or may have only a few outlets actually grounded, like in the kitchen and bathroom. If that’s your situation, use a ground rod or consult with an electrician.

The Earthing ground rod comes with an attached 40-foot (13 meter) Earthing cord that can be connected to the cord of the Earthing sheet, mat, or band. Simply push the rod into the soil below a window and then run the cord under the window or a nearby door and into the house. Then simply connect the Earthing product cord to the ground rod cord.

● Ground Rod Usage in Dry Climates

In a dry environment, such as the Southwest United States or any desert area, the ground may be minimally conductive on the surface. Our recommendation is to water the ground rod every week or so if you live in such a climate. Soak the soil around the ground rod. This will improve the conductivity in dry soil.

● Check Your Earthing System

To test product conductivity, use the Earthing continuity tester. Simply connect the tester to the ground port of a properly grounded wall outlet and place it directly on your Earthing mat or sheet. A green light will confirm that your system and wire are in good working order. You may have to press firmly to get the light to go on when testing the sheet. You may need to moisten the metallic plate on the tester for optimum testing.

Whether you are connected to an outlet indoors or a ground rod outdoors, make sure from time to time that your wire is still plugged in and is intact. When you are disconnected you may notice you aren’t sleeping or feeling as good and wonder why.

Here are some examples that explain the “why”:

Unplugged!
From a long-time user in Iowa: “For two weeks after the departure of a house guest, I was suddenly feeling miserable with a lot of fatigue. My teeth started to be sore and I didn’t sleep well at all. At first I thought it was a result of too much activity while playing host to my guest, but I finally discovered that I had forgot to plug in my Earthing sheet. Now all is well again. Sleep and energy restored!”
From a doctor in Brazil: “I was on holiday in Rio de Janeiro and I connected my sheet in the hotel. The first night I had a very good night sleep but the second one was terrible. During the night I thought, ‘well, I am grounded and this time it didn’t help with my sleep.’ In the morning when I was packing to go back home I realized that the chambermaid had disconnected the sheet wire after the first night, so the second terrible night I slept disconnect.”

Critters!
We have also had a number of reports of outside wires targeted by deer and squirrels, and inside wires by pets. Here’s an example of what can happen in a home with pets: ”My kitten chewed my Earthing sheet wire in two pieces. I noticed I have not slept well in several nights and only discovered last night that I was not connected.”

● No Direct Skin Contact

Sometimes individuals put the grounding half-sheet (also called the bed pad) or mat under their bottom sheet in bed. This may not work so well. Direct skin contact with the Earthing sheet or mat is highly recommended (please refer to our Earthing report on “Is There a Best Way to Be Grounded?”) Although people sweat during the night and the moisture can permeate the bottom sheet and create a channel of conductivity between the body and the Earthing product, quantity of sweat produced differs individually. Thus we urge everyone to make direct skin contact.

If you are using the Earthing mat in bed, you may want to reposition it. Your feet could be coming off of it during the night.

● Dehydration

Many people don’t drink enough water during the day. They are dehydrated. We have observed that people who are dehydrated may not experience the benefits of Earthing as fully as those who drink an adequate amount of water.

● Improper Care of Earthing Sheets

Improper laundering of Earthing sheets (including bed pads, full fitted sheets, and the recovery bag) can result in loss of conductivity and benefits. Launder just as you would wash other bedding, using a gentle wash cycle and a mild detergent. However, do not use any chlorine bleach or any detergent that contains bleach, as these chemicals can ruin the conductivity of your sheet. When necessary, use hydrogen peroxide-based non-bleach to remove stains and/or to whiten your sheet. Low-heat drying is recommended. Also it is not advisable to apply lotions, creams, or oils before bedtime to areas of your skin that will come in contact with the sheet. The reason for this is that such substances can easily become absorbed into the sheets. The oils they contain become oxidized by the air and can diminish the conductivity of the silver threads in the sheets. For more information, please refer to this article on protecting the integrity of your Earthing sheet.

● A Medication Issue

Many people take strong medications, and often multiple medications. Because Earthing affects the physiology systemically, medications could be impacted and adjustments required. Please refer to our important article on Earthing and medication.

● Stress!!!!

The presence of acute and chronic stress calls for more time being grounded to offset the impact of stress on the body. Chronic stress is a leading cause of sudden death, insomnia, and depression, and elevated blood pressure.

We have often encountered people who are, or who have been, dealing with intense stress in their lives. It could be the loss of a loved one, a divorce or some separation, or a money, job or business problem. They are living in a stressed state. They become emotionally and physically drained.

Such stress can affect the body in significant and harmful ways, and in many cases exhaust the critical adrenal glands that make your stress hormones. The adrenals are linked in complicated feedback loops to other glands and hormones in the body. Stress causes imbalances and abnormalities in this complex arrangement, and they feed on each other, leading to operations in the body going awry. The immune system is undermined. People become susceptible to many serious malfunctions.

People who are grounded more in their lives typically experience calming of the nervous system, improved circulation, and a reduction of chronic and burning pain. Grounding will put out the fire of inflammation, provided they stay grounded a sufficient amount of time. They will get benefits from Earthing, even if emotional things are still going on in their lives.

● Earthing is not a Panacea

Finally, some people express disappointment that Earthing has not helped them with a specific health concern. They had expected quick relief and dramatic improvement. They read the many testimonials and perhaps heard about major benefits from friends or family. Yet, they haven’t been helped noticeably or fast enough.

In this situation, we remind people that while Earthing has so much to offer and benefits the body systemically, it is still not a panacea, a remedy for all diseases. It should never be regarded as such.

People are all different, and affected by a variety of factors that can deeply affect health: genetic deficits, congenital problems, severe biochemical imbalances, pronounced immune dysfunction, poor eating habits and nutritional deficiencies, lack of exercise, intense stress, and environmental, chemical, or food sensitivities. Earthing may not be able to influence or overcome a deep-seated factor, or just have a minimal effect. We wish this weren’t so. We wish that Earthing was indeed a cure-all. But it’s not.

Everybody benefits in some way, but we are all different. The benefits can come quickly and dramatically, such as less pain and better sleep, or subtly and gradually over time.

The question to ask is this: can you be barefoot on the Earth too much? The whole Earthing experience indoors is a replica of being barefoot on the Earth outside. Keep in mind that humans evolved walking, sitting, and sleeping on the Earth.
Different and strange sensations may occur in the beginning. We generally attribute them to a normalizing, detoxifying, and energizing process. Many systems are adjusting to the Earth’s energy, making all the gears and cogs more efficient, so to speak, and enhancing more efficient removal of toxins. These processes take different forms, and can take longer or shorter, depending on the individual.
If you are taking any medications, it is possible that the normalization process could be creating a situation where the level of dosage has become excessive. The body is functioning better, so you may need less of a particular medication. This is a definite possibility. If you suspect this to be the case you should consult with your doctor and discuss the possibility of reducing medication. Please refer to our Earthing reports on our website to read about Earthing and medication. The body takes as many electrons from the Earth as it needs. It uses up electrons in many metabolic processes, including the basic process of cellular energy production, so there is always a demand for more. If you are grounding yourself on a routine basis, you are, in a sense, topping up your tank.

Lightning is a massive natural phenomenon that is unpredictable and challenging to totally protect against. It is poorly understood. Homes are rarely hit by lightning. When this happens, the lightning usually takes the path of least resistance to the ground, such as large conductive systems like the plumbing pipes, electrical wiring network, or telephone and cable TV lines, all of which are directly grounded to the Earth.
The National Safety Council reports that the odds of dying from a lightning strike in one year are 1 in 6 million (www.nsc.org/research/odds.aspx). To put this in perspective, the chance of being hit and killed by an automobile as a pedestrian in the same period is 1 in fifty thousand—a risk 120 times greater. What these statistics suggest is that being hit by lightning is rather unlikely. However, follow standard lightning safety guidelines as directed by National Weather Service (www.lightningsafety.noaa.gov) if you live in a lightning-prone area. Disconnect your Earthing device and don’t use it during lightning and thunderstorms.

Safetywise the connection cable is insulated and contains a resistor of 100,000 Ohm to provide protection when something happens to the electricity accidentally. If, for example, a 230 Volt voltage is applied to the earthing cable, the strength due to the resistance of 100,000 Ohm is only 2.3 mA, which may give you a litte jab but is not harmful to your health.

The free electrons do not have any problems with a resistance of 100,000 Ohm.
In the electronics world, ESD (Elektro Static Discharge) articles are used to ground people and to prevent computers or chips from being damaged. These articles, straps and shoes, have a resistance of 1,000,000 Ohm, so 10 times as high.
At Earthing they have done tests, where it appeared that the effects of earthing were less than with direct earthing with 1,000,000 Ohm. At 100,000 Ohm there was a slight difference than with direct grounding.
And at 100,000 Ohm, the resistance was large enough to provide protection against unwanted voltage on the grounding products.

If the lightning strikes near you and enters your electricity system, it will choose the path of least resistance.
Since there is a resistance in the connection cables of the Earthing Products of 100,000 Ohm, it will be very unlikely that the lightning will choose that path.

If you use several grounding products in bed at the same time, connect them all to a ground rod or all via the grouning adapter in a grounded outlet.
Never connect one earthing product to a ground rod and the other to a grounded outlet, because in the event of a thunderstorm, you create a short circuit for the lightning to go to the ground of the grounded outlet via the ground rod and the earthingproducts.

No. Standard plastic/rubber or composite soles do not conduct the Earth’s electric energy. Most shoes today are made from those materials. You need leather or hide soles, which used to be the primary footwear materials in the past. Leather itself isn’t conductive, but the foot perspires and the moisture permits conduction of the energy from the Earth through the leather and up into the body. In addition, moisture from walking on damp ground or sidewalks could permeate up into the leather soled shoe. Thickness of the sole can also be a factor, and specifically that a very thick leather sole may not allow the moisture through. Moccasins are the best type of natural conductive footwear. Leather isn’t quite as good as bare feet on the ground but certainly much, much better than standard soles that are insulating. Hopefully soon shoe companies will begin making grounded shoes.

You are absolutely correct. Barefoot is the natural way to go. And also sleep on the ground. This is the way humans evolved. In so-called “developed societies,” we wear insulating shoes and we sleep on elevated beds. However, most people won’t regularly go barefoot, if at all, or consider sleeping on the ground, and certainly not in the cold winter months. So Earthing products were created to address the issue of comfort, convenience, reality, and practicality. The products are basically extension cords. They bring the Earth’s energy outside into the office and home inside — the equivalent of being barefoot outside while you are inside. They were developed to accommodate the research process and to satisfy a continually growing demand of people wanting to sleep, work, or relax grounded for all the reasons we present in the book.

In newer homes (since end of the 90's) all the outlets have to be grounded.
In older homes usually the wall outlets in the sleeping rooms are not grounded, but the outlets in the kitchen usually are.
If your outlet is not grounded it is no use to connect your earthing product to this outlet, because your earthing product can't connect you to the earth!
We have an outlet tester in the shop to test your outlet.

Earthing doesn’t “run” on electricity. Your Earthing sheet (mat, band, throw, or patch) is simply connected to the energy of the Earth, not to the electricity that operates your lights and appliances. If you plug your Earthing product into the ground (earth) port of your wall outlet, you are simply making contact with the ground (earth) wire in that hole that connects to other outlets in your house and is attached to a large ground rod outside. The ground rod receives the natural, gentle energy that flows through the Earth’s surface and stabilizes your electrical system, just as it does the electrical systems of buildings and grids all over the planet. Whether your power is on or off, doesn’t matter. As long as you have contact with the Earth, by being barefoot outside, or on an Earthing sheet or mat indoors that is connected to the Earth, either via a grounded (earthed) wall outlet or a separate ground rod outside, you are getting this natural energy.

NO, Earthing products don't absorb EMFs like an antenna!

Studies Confirm Indoor Grounding Safety and Reduced Exposure to AC Voltage EMFs
A 2016 study confirms once again what we have known for years − that grounding indoors in the presence of common electromagnetic fields (EMFs) is safe and protective.
The new study, conducted by University of Oregon exercise physiologist Dick Brown, further disqualifies the baseless idea purveyed by various “experts” that Earthing indoors can be harmful because of EMFs.
For the study, Dr. Brown individually exposed 50 participants (male and female, ages 12 to 79) to EMFs generated by electric equipment in his home office.  The equipment included a printer, scanner, cordless phone, lamp, computer, and computer monitor. These devices, like many other household appliances and wiring, produce 60Hz frequency alternating current (AC) EMFs.
The voltage and currents induced on the participants’ body by the equipment was first measured with a voltmeter when participants were ungrounded and then again when grounded.  Grounding was achieved via an Earthing (electrode) patch placed on the palm of the left hand and connected to the ground port of a grounded wall electric outlet.
The results: A significant drop – by a factor of 58 on average – of measured body AC voltage when subjects were grounded compared to not being grounded.  Current measurements were taken when participants touched a desk lamp, and again when they moved their hand about 12 inches away from the lamp, and then three feet away.
The highest average current − 2.62 microamperes − measured on grounded participants occurred, as expected, when touching the lamp.  What does that number mean?  The Electrical Safety manual of the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety (http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2009-113/pdfs/2009-113.pdf, p. 7) states that a current below 1 milliampere is generally not perceptible.  There are one thousand microamperes in a milliampere.
Thus, the recognized perception level is at least 382 times larger than the average current measured in the study when touching the lamp and 1,852 times larger than the measurement at three feet distance from the lamp.
“The study indicates clearly that normal levels of electromagnetic fields existing in an office setting in houses are too low to produce harmful currents when a person is grounded,” concluded Dr. Brown.
The decreased voltage induced on the body by grounding in this experiment is comparable to results obtained by electrical engineer Roger Applewhite in a hotel room setting in 2005. In that experiment, grounding produced a voltage drop by a factor of 71 in comparison to being ungrounded.
EMFs are present whether you are grounded or not.  Grounding, however, reflects the common AC voltage from your body like a mirror so it does not penetrate.

Even Premature Babies Benefit
Many Earthing studies have been conducted in indoor settings full of common electromagnetic fields. One study about to be published showed nothing-less-than-safety – and potentially life-saving benefit − for the most vulnerable of humans: premature babies.  In 2014 we wrote about preliminary results from the study done at the Pennsylvania State University Children’s Hospital Neonatal Care Unit.  The results indicated that grounding these infants produced immediate and significant improvements in autonomic nervous system functioning critical to inflammatory and stress responses.
Twenty-six infants were involved in the study.  Skin voltage was measured while the babies were ungrounded and then grounded. When grounded, their AC voltage levels showed a highly significant reduction to almost zero!
These kinds of results speak loud and clear to the safety issue of Earthing.  Yes, it is wonderful to be outdoors barefoot in Nature and ground yourself.  Yet, by plugging into a properly grounded wall outlet indoors you can safely and beneficially ground yourself.  In the process, you become buffered from common AC voltage surrounding you that emanates from wires, and most electronic equipment and appliances. You instantly equalize electrically with the Earth’s natural energy. You become an extension of Mother Earth.
But more important than fending off AC voltage, grounding reduces inflammation and pain, calms your nervous system, and improves your blood flow.  You become healthier and look healthier.
Please ignore the ignorant opinions of bloggers and others who say that Earthing indoors is unhealthy because of the EMFs that you absorb like an antenna.  The truth is just the opposite.  And grounded antennas, for the uninformed, cannot absorb EMFs.
What about the Wi-fi and cellphone frequencies all around us?  First and foremost, they have nothing to do with Earthing.  Earthing works in environments full of such frequencies.  What we tell everyone who expresses concern about any potential harm from these frequencies is that they should limit their exposure and, very importantly, ground themselves as much as possible.  While the protective potential of Earthing has not been tested specifically against these frequencies, our research has taken place in environments full of all kinds of frequencies, and consistently produces broad health and healing  benefits and significantly positive changes in the physiology.

Earthing works like an umbrella.
Applewhite's research showed that Earthing has a protective effect against electric fields. Let's look at the electrical properties of the earth's surface and te way the energy of the earth influences our body. In his classic work Lectures on Physics from the early 1960's, the Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman describes the subtle energy of the earth. There is an abundance of electrons on the surface of the earth, giving the earth a negative electrical charge. If you are outside on a clear day with your shoes on (or on an insulating surface such as a floor made of wood or vinyl), there is an electrical charge of around 350Volts between the earth and the top of your head if you are 1.75 meters tall. Note that this is approximately 0Volts on the ground.

Now you will be wondering: if there really is a difference of 350volts between my head an my feet, why don't I get a schock when I go outside?
The answer to that is: air is a rather bad conductor. Electrical power can hardly move through air. If you stand outside on your bare feet, you are grounded; your entire body is connected to the earth's surface. Your body conducts reasonably well. Your skin and the surface of the earth together form a surface that is constantly charged with the same potential.
Check this picture to get a better view of the umbrella:
https://www.earthingnederland.nl/emf?Lng=en
This drawing also shows that the loaded area is pushed upwards form your head when you are grounded. With every object that is in direct contact with the earth - a human, a dog or a tree - this protective effect occurs. Every living creature, connected to the earth is protected like having shelter from an umbrella in the rain.
The same protection als occurs in your home or office when you are connected to the earth via an earthing tool such as an earthing sheet.

Initially, some people may feel some temporary discomfort or even flu-like signs, pain or achiness. In practically all cases, this experience is fleeting. We believe it is the result of a normalization of the body’s “electrical system.” As the process gets underway, the body’s ability to release accumulated toxicity may improve and you could feel that as transient discomfort. Typically, after some initial adjustment, you start feeling better and more energized. The feeling might last a few days at the most but it will go away. If you are uncomfortable, stop grounding yourself for several days and then begin again, starting with shorter exposure and gradually increasing the exposure. In the majority of cases, no discomfort is felt at the beginning.

Many people feel tingling in the beginning. It’s a sign that the circulation is improving.

Yes, that is possible.
It will require some moisture for the direct current of the Earth to flow through the fabric into your body. For everyone this occurs naturally during the night when moisture from the body creates the necessary conductivity.

Contact with the Earth appears to create warmth in the extremities and body as a result of better circulation and relaxation. We have seen people quickly develop a rosier color in their skin. Many people have also reported feeling some initial tingling in the extremities.

The new silver undersheets with 50% silver fibre are specially made to be used underneath your own fitted sheet.
The old fitted Earthing sheets and half sheets with only 5% silver fibre are meant to be in direct contact of some part of your body: the skin of your body touching the conductive sheet. That's how you absorb the energy from the Earth and how you get the benefits. If you have a grounded half-sheet, put it over your regular bottom sheet. If you have a full-fitted Earthing sheet, that serves as your bottom sheet.

There is nothing wrong with using an Earthing sleep product with any electrical devices as long as those devices are in good working order. We advise you to take the plug of the electrical device out of the socket, if possible, to minimize EMF.

A positive effect of Earthing is that the blood circulation improves so most people have warmer feet in bed when they start Earthing!

Pain, disease, and other disturbances in our bodies are often caused by chronic inflammation. Such inflammation is, in turn, caused by positively charged molecules called free radicals. When you make direct contact with the Earth, either by being barefoot outside or via a conductive sheet or mat indoors, the negatively charged electrons from the Earth are absorbed into your body and reduce the free radicals and inflammation. This is our theory and it is supported by our research and feedback from thousands of people who use Earthing products.
This benefit of Earthing is very important because medical research has found that many of the chronic and debilitating diseases of our time have the same cause: chronic inflammation. Scientists now realize that pain and disease arise in our bodies where an inflammatory response has taken place, but the inflammation has not completely stopped after the healing process. A low level of chronic inflammation can continue for years, damaging normal tissues and wasting energy.
The human immune system evolved over a long span of time during which we were in virtually constant barefoot contact with the Earth. In our modern society, humans no longer walk barefoot. We wear shoes that insulate us from the Earth’s energy. In recent decades the incidence of chronic diseases, allergies, auto-immune conditions, and insomnia has skyrocketed in modern societies. One overlooked reason for this situation is that the immune system began functioning less efficiently as humans increasingly separated themselves from the Earth’s energy.

We don’t know the answer to that question, however Earthing does look promising as a powerful anti-aging strategy. Many researchers have documented the deterioration of the immune system as we age. The name for this is immunosenescence. A prominent medical theory states that one of the causes of general deterioration during aging is free radical damage, technically known as oxidative stress, and resulting in injury to cells. Since Earthing greatly reduces oxidative stress and inflammation it is expected to increase life expectancy and improve health. There is no question that maintaining a functionally “young” immune system is an excellent strategy for preserving the quality of life and slowing senescence.

Earthing helps to thin the blood. Consult your doctor and ask if there is a problem when you start Earthing. Start with short time periods and slowly extend the time periods. Check your blood regularly, maybe you can adjust the medication.

There is no evidence that Earthing interferes with the function of a pacemaker. Earthing is the same as walking barefoot on the Earth. Many people with pacemakers sleep grounded and experience the benefits of their medical device and Earthing. To our knowledge, no one with a pacemaker was advised not to walk barefoot outdoors. Just check with your doctor initially and monitor yourself for any symptoms.

The protective potential of Earthing has not been tested yet on cell phone exposure. There is no research indicating that Earthing will or will not protect a person from exposure to cell phones signals, microwave radiation, or radio frequencies. What we know is that Earthing reduces significantly the induced body voltages generated by simple exposure to common household 60 Hz EMFs continuously emitted by all plugged-in electrical cords (even if the appliance is off), internal wiring, and all ungrounded electrical devices in the home or office. Based in the cases we have seen of people extremely sensitive to such EMFs it is prudent to be grounded as much as possible in the home or office.

Although the use of magnets produce some therapeutic effects when properly applied, magnets cannot provide free electrons, nor can they connect the body with the naturally balancing electric frequencies of the Earth. Earthing technology used inside your home or office connects you with the Earth’s electrons in the same way as if you were standing barefoot on ground outside.

CARE INTSTRUCTIONS FOR PREMIUM EARTHING UNDERSHEETS (stainless steel)

Use the Earthing undersheet under a regular (fitted) sheet made of natural fibers, like cotton, viscose or Tencel.
Do
• Machinewash the sheet once every 6 – 10 weeks at 40 - 60 ºC
• Use a program for hand wash, wool or delicate fibers because of the fine stainless steel fibers
• Spin dry at the lowest speed (max. 600 rpm)
The stainless steel wires break when spinning faster.
• Line dry only. This unique material wrinkles when washed, Hang it to dry and stretch it bit by bit over the full length in both directions. You can also iron it at medium temperature for an even smoother surface.

Don’t
• Do not use whites or multipurpose detergents, as they often contain bleach or optical brighteners
• Do not use detergents for delicates or wool
• Do not use fabric softeners
• Do not use soapshells, laundryball, soap .
• Do not dry clean

Fabric softeners, bodylotion, oil and optical brighteners form a layer on the stainless steel fibers and can thus impede conduction. Conductivity is ultimately lost as a result.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SILVER EARTHING UNDERSHEET AND DUVET COVER

Use the Earthing undersheet under a normal sheet of natural fiber, such as cotton, viscose or Tencel and with little or no synthetic component, such as polyester.
Use the duvet cover under a normal duvet cover of natural fiber, such as cotton, viscose or Tencel and with little or no synthetic component, such as polyester.

Do
•Wash the sheet/ duvet cover at 30 degrees celsius before first use due topossible shrinkage
•Wash the sheet/duvet cover maximum once every 1-2 months in thewashing machine at 60 degrees celsius
•Use a half dose color laundry detergent
•Centrifuge at low speed
•Dry on a line or at a low temperature in a clothes dryer

Don’t
•Do not use white or universal laundry detergent as they often contain bleach or optical brighteners
•Do not use detergents for delicate washing or woolwashing. These often contain too many oils.
•Do not use fabric softener
•Do not use stain removers or soda
•Do not use wax nuts
•Do not use scented dryer sheets
•Do not dry clean

Bleach and optical brighteners damages the silver so it will not conduct anymore. Fabric softener, body lotion and oil forms a layer on the silver thread and blocks conductivity. The conductivity will ultimately be lost. Silver tends to discolour under the influence of oils and fats from your skin, hair, cream, shampoo etc. This can give a clear dark discoloration


When cared for properly, your Earthing undersheet/duvet cover should last as long as any good quality bed sheet.

Yes, we advise to wash the Earthing undersheet and Shielding duvet cover first on a low temperature (30 degrees) before using it because of hygienic reasons.
During the making of the Earthing sheets the silver threads are woven into the cotton sheets on a high temperature, so the sheet can be smelly. The smell disappears after washing.

Our Earthing undersheets are specially developed for longevity.

We give a 3 year warranty on the Premium undersheets with stainless steel, not only on workmanship but also on effective earthing life. This is very unique and Earthing Nederland is the only provider who gives a warranty!
So we expect that the longevity is much longer than 3 years.
The longevity is dependent on the care of the sheet.
Follow the care intstructions carefully.


We give a 2 year warranty on the Silver undersheets, not only on workmanship but also on effective earthing life. This is very unique and Earthing Nederland is the only provider who gives a warranty!
So we expect that the longevity is much longer than 2 year.
The longevity is dependent on the care of the sheet and will not be the same for everyone. People who sweat heavily will need to wash their sheet more often which may have an effect on the longevity.

Care instructions for the THROW

Do
•Wash the Throw in the washing machine on 40 degrees Celsius. Centrifuge at low speed.
•De Throw can be washed over 2 times a month.
•Use a half dose color laundry detergent
•Centrifuge at low speed
•Dry on a line or at a low temperature in a clothes dryer

Don't
•Do not use white or universal laundry detergent asthey often contain bleach or optical brighteners
•Do not use detergents for delicate washing or woolwashing. These often contain too many oils.
•Do not use fabric softener
•Do not use stain removers or soda
•Do not use wax nuts
•Do not use scented dryer sheets
•Do not dry clean
•Do not lubricate the skin with oil or body lotion before using the Throw. We advise you to wait an hour before using the Throw.

Bleach and optical brighteners damages the silver so it will not conduct anymore. Fabric softener, body lotion and oil forms a layer on the silver thread and blocks conductivity. The conductivity will ultimately be lost. Silver tends to discolour under the influence of oils and fats from your skin, hair, cream, shampoo etc. This can give a clear dark discoloration.

Our Premium Earthing pillow case is made of solid medical grade stainless steel filament and environmentally friendly Tencel. It also contains new patented antibacterial Earthshield-fibers.
Use the pillow case under a regular pillow case made of natural fibers, like cotton, viscose or Tencel.

Do
• Machinewash the pillow case once every month at 40 - 60 ºC
• Use a program for hand wash, wool or delicate fibers because of the fine stainless steel fibers
• Spin dry at the lowest speed (max. 600 rpm)
• Line dry only. This unique material wrinkles when washed, Hang it to dry and stretch it bit by bit over the full length in both directions. You can also iron it at medium temperature for an even smoother surface.

Don’t
• Do not use whites or multipurpose detergents, as they often contain bleach or optical brighteners
• Do not use detergents for delicates or wool
• Do not use fabric softeners
• Do not use soapshells, laundryball, soap .
• Do not dry clean

Fabric softeners, bodylotion, oil and optical brighteners form a layer on the stainless steel fibers and can thus impede conduction. Conductivity is ultimately lost as a result.

The Chair pad is unique because it has stainless steel fibers, woven into a canvas material made of equal parts of cotton and polyester for longevity.

Do
• Machinewash the Chair pad once every 1-2 months at 60 ºC
• Use a detergent for colored laundry (color),half dose
• Dry on a line or tumble dry on a low temperature

Don’t
• Do not use whites or multipurpose detergents, as they often contain bleach or optical brighteners
• Do not use detergents for delicates or wool
• Do not use fabric softeners
• Do not use soapshells, laundryball, soap .
• Do not dry clean

Fabric softeners, bodylotion, oil and optical brighteners form a layer on the stainless steel fibers and can thus impede conduction. Conductivity is ultimately lost as a result.

The Earthing Universal Mat is made of conductive black vinyl. It has a leather look top and can be cleaned easily with a wet cloth.
Optionally, a cleaning product with a degreaser can be used. Like dishwashing liquid or glass cleaner.

Wash the Earthing wristband in lukewarm soapy water with dishwashing liquid. With this, skin fats are easily washed away. Let air dry.

Absolutely not. Also for pets, especially the ones that are inside a lot, the Earthing products are very good for their health.
Pets often love the Earting products.

No. They simply pick up the Earth’s energy through the ground port of a properly grounded outlet or from a ground rod placed directly in the Earth. The energy passes through a cord to the conductive Earthing mat, sheet, or band specially designed for human grounding. When your body comes in contact with the Earthing product you absorb the Earth’s energy. Earthing products are like “barefoot substitutes,” enabling you to receive the outside energy of the Earth inside your home or office.

Totally OK. The presence of moisture increases the flow of electrons from the Earth. That’s why it’s great to stand or walk barefoot in damp grass or in the surf or wet sand at the beach. If you live in a very dry climate and are using a ground rod, try to place it in a spot where there is some moisture, perhaps from sprinklers. You can even water the ground rod every week or so, if you like to keep the soil moist.

No. When you plug in the cord of an Earthing sheet or mat into an electrical outlet, the plug, cord, and product are designed to only conduct the ground energy, from the ground port in the outlet. It does not conduct the electrical power that operates your lights and appliances in the house.

Yes, but direct skin contact is best. Feet naturally sweat and will hydrate socks, making the socks somewhat conductive.

Yes, the Earthing product only makes contact with the Earth of a grounded wall outlet and not with the current. So it doesn't matter whether you take it out or leave it in the wall outlet.

The product tester is a very sensitive device to determine whether there is electrical conduction between two points. You can test:
Whether you are grounded in direct contact with the groundingproduct.
Whether everything is properly connected and your groundingproduct conducts well,
Whether a cable conducts well,
Whether your groundingproduct is grounded (via ground rod or grounded outlet).
Whether your outlet is grounded.

The Earthing Multimeter simply tests if you are grounded on your earthing product and if the conductivity of your product is good. You measure the result of grounding.

We provide an extensive manual with both testers. If you no longer have it, please send an email to info@earthingnederland.nl, and we will send you a new one.
