FAQs
What is grounding (earthing)?
Grounding, or earthing, is the practice of connecting your body to the Earth's natural electric field. It helps neutralize free radicals, reduce inflammation, and restore balance to your body’s systems—just like walking barefoot on natural ground.
How do grounding mats work?
Our grounding mats are made with a conductive surface that connects to the Earth through a grounded outlet or grounding rod. When your skin touches the mat, it allows electrons from the Earth to flow into your body—offering benefits similar to being barefoot outdoors.
What are the benefits of using a grounding mat?
- Reduced inflammation and joint pain
- Improved sleep and deeper rest
- Faster recovery from fatigue and injuries
- Reduced stress and anxiety
- Enhanced energy and focus
- Better circulation and immune function
Is it safe to plug the mat into an outlet?
Yes. Our grounding cord only uses the grounding port (not the live or neutral ones), so there's no electricity flowing through the mat—just safe grounding connection.
How do I clean and take care of the mat?
Gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or submerging it in water. Do not fold or bend the mat sharply. Always unplug before cleaning.
Can pets use the grounding mat?
Yes! Pets often naturally seek out grounding mats because they can feel the calming effect. It may help with anxiety, inflammation, and joint discomfort in older animals.
How long should I use the mat daily?
Even just 30 minutes a day can offer noticeable benefits. But the longer, the better. Many users ground for hours daily—especially while sleeping or working.
Can I use the mat while working, sleeping, or relaxing?
Absolutely. Our mats are designed for flexible use:
- Under your desk while working
- On your bed while sleeping
- During yoga or meditation
- For pets resting on the floor
I live in an apartment—can I still use a grounding mat?
Yes! Our mats are designed for indoor use and work perfectly with grounded wall outlets.
How do I test if my grounding mat is working?
You can easily test your mat using a continuity tester or multimeter (can be purchased from any hardware store):
Option 1: With a Continuity Tester
- Plug the grounding cord into a grounded outlet.
- Attach the tester to the mat surface.
- If the light on the tester turns green, your mat is properly grounded and working.
Option 2: With a Multimeter
- Set the multimeter to measure voltage (AC).
- Hold one probe while touching the mat with the other.
- If your body voltage drops when touching the mat, it's working correctly.
Tip: Make sure you're testing in bare skin contact and the outlet is properly grounded.
Will grounding products interfere with pacemakers or metal implants?
No, grounding products do not interfere with pacemakers or metal implants.
Grounding only allows the body to absorb the Earth’s natural negative electrons—it does not transmit electricity or emit signals. It’s a passive connection to the Earth, similar to walking barefoot on grass or sand.
However, if you are unsure, it’s always best to consult with your doctor before starting any new wellness practice.
How long will the grounding mat last?
With proper care, your grounding mat can last up to 3 to 5 years or more.
Can I wear socks while using the grounding mat?
Yes, but bare skin contact is best for maximum effectiveness.
Thin, natural-fiber socks (like cotton or bamboo) may still allow some grounding effect, though it will be less direct. Thick or synthetic socks (like polyester) can block conductivity.
For best results, place your bare feet, hands, or skin directly on the mat.
