Earthing sleep mat

Taking medication, following therapy, and grounding go perfectly hand in hand. Due to the improved blood circulation in your body when you ground yourself, you get an even better health yield from oxygen and nutrients, but also from medication, which is now transported even more effectively through your body to the places where it can help.

If you are taking blood-thinning medication, you should keep in mind that grounding has a similar effect as long as you are connected to the earth. Only while grounding your body does the Rouleaux effect, which makes your blood viscous, stop. Never stop taking medication without the advice of your attending physician.

Grounding is as natural as walking barefoot on the earth. It is a natural path to optimal health in harmony with Mother Nature, just as intended and supported by thousands of years of evolution.

Grounding is very effective in helping to restore your hormonal balance. This also applies to the cortisol production in your adrenal glands. Because you are constantly pushing your body to perform—which is a mental aspect—your adrenal glands produce cortisol, a hormone comparable to adrenaline. At a certain point, your body protests against this, which is actually healthy because it means you need to change your lifestyle to find more rest, and cortisol is no longer released into your system. This is the famous burnout, and it is a safety mechanism of your body. Through deeper relaxation in connection with Earth's electrons and the circadian rhythm (the 24-hour energy cycle), grounding brings you back into a better day-night balance, which results in deeper sleep and more active days. In doing so, you achieve a cortisol balance that is high in the morning and gradually decreases towards the evening, when it is time for bed, just as it should be, which further brings you into balance.

There is absolutely no objection to grounding with a pacemaker or a defibrillator. Just as walking outside barefoot is not discouraged if you wear a pacemaker. Over time, your pacemaker will have slightly less work to do, as the more even cell voltage improves your circulation. Due to the improved blood viscosity, your system also receives a faster supply of oxygen, which in itself has a relaxing effect. These are just a few of the many health benefits of grounding.

Grounding, while sleeping and/or working, has a very relaxing effect on your cardiovascular system and is therefore highly beneficial for your overall health.

Do give it some time, as well-worn paths sometimes need a little time to recover, but grounding always works for everyone, regardless of age or condition.

In the initial phase, some people may experience a slight tingling in the body.

Your body quickly recognizes this natural way of total relaxation and slides further into deeper recovery.

In rare cases, when you start grounding, you may experience detox symptoms, partly because your blood circulation improves and a temporary detoxification of your system occurs. This could be, for example, a change in bowel movements or a temporary mild headache, ... This is good news; nature is working for you. Any discomfort will pass very quickly.

This is called a Herxheimer reaction and is normal in a healing process as your body evolves back to balance. It is also recommended to drink plenty of water if you are in a detoxification period.

Grounding is a powerful natural process and belongs to the subtle spectrum of self-care. It always works efficiently, regardless of age, condition, rank, or status, but not everyone has the sensitivity to allow this into their consciousness, let alone practice it. Highly sensitive people, which is actually a gift, are very susceptible to illness precisely because of their energetic absorption capacity. Grounding, the power of Mother Earth, ensures, especially for them, the restoration of their natural balance so that healing & recovery can occur quickly.

There is absolutely no problem with grounding if you have surgical metal or plastic prosthetics in your body.

Grounding actually works even better due to the improved conductivity near the prosthetic and, through its anti-inflammatory effect which results in increased resistance, ensures that fewer complications can occur. Grounding is also highly recommended after hospitalization, as well as for better wound healing and recovery.

Grounding benefits tinnitus because it addresses your entire system.

The remarkably improved blood flow, even in the smallest capillary blood vessels in the ear, can accelerate healing.

General relaxation (so that tinnitus does not become cerebrally ingrained) and building up your resistance through the anti-inflammatory effect of grounding also contribute significantly to the treatment.

Do give it some time so that you can evolve step by step in the right direction. The root cause may lie deeper.

The improved blood flow from grounding instantly neutralizes the Rouleaux effect, the clumping of ungrounded blood cells that makes your blood more viscous. This also results in better blood flow in the smallest capillary vessels of your tissues, where toxins were stored in, among other things, fats. Furthermore, this leads to a better supply of oxygen, nutrients, and any medication or supplementation to your organs and tissues, and also facilitates effective detoxification that can now be properly cleared by the more active liver.

Grounding is highly recommended for efficient detoxing after treatment or trauma, but also preventively to keep your bodily functions optimal.

Earthing (literally) relaxes the entire body, which has implications for your health and the medication you take for it.

When you earth yourself, your blood flows better due to the improved surface tension of your blood cells (the zeta potential). It now also flows into the smallest capillary blood vessels. Your entire body now has better blood circulation, and all your organs, glands, tissues, etc., are more efficiently supplied with oxygen and nutrients and are also better detoxified. Due to the improved circulation, you may eventually need fewer blood thinners, and your cardiovascular system is supported in the most natural way, as we were designed to be. Note, however, that you must take into account that if you are not earthing—which might be the case during the day if you only earth at night—your blood will return to its original state. Therefore, it is recommended to earth as much as possible, preferably 24 hours a day, to continuously support your body's functions. There are numerous possibilities for this. For example, during the day you can earth under your keyboard with an earthing mat under your wrists or while sitting on a chair with an earthing mat under your bare feet.

Through the relaxation provided by the earth, you receive earth electrons that also neutralize your free radicals, the harmful residues of your metabolic processes. This is called anti-oxidizing. Oxidative stress, a cellular tension caused by the burning of oxygen and nutrients, is eliminated in your body so that it cannot cause micro-inflammations that your immune system would then need to resolve. Through the help of contact with the earth and its anti-inflammatory effect, your resistance is further built up. In this way, your self-healing capacity is strengthened from the core, and you need less medication, which can also carry toxicity.

Because your glands (12 prominent ones that produce 52 hormones daily for you) have better circulation and are relaxed, they function better and your hormonal system comes into greater balance. Your circadian rhythm (day/night) is restored, and, for example, at dusk you produce more melatonin from your serotonin (the feel-good hormone), which, as the light decreases, naturally guides you to better sleep. In this way, you can also eventually reduce any sleep medication as your body and mind—since both are inseparably connected—naturally come to rest.

Any reduction of medication must always be discussed with your attending physician.

Earthing also has a strong neurological effect, as our nerve pathways are, after all, our bio-electrical wiring.

Due to improved blood flow, now also in the smallest capillary blood vessels, including those in the brain, and the anti-inflammatory effect of the influx of earth electrons, earthing can be a very good form of support for Parkinson's disease as well as other degenerative conditions and age-related ailments.

Contact with the earth, as we were designed for, is neuro-active in the sense that it can relieve tension from the nervous system and also neutralize any nerve-related inflammation.

First, you will go through an adjustment period before gradually moving toward a natural balance, step by step.

The earth's electrons reach you when you ground yourself, just as they do during a barefoot walk on the beach.

It is precisely the lack of grounding, living isolated from the earth, and the influence of electrosmog around us that puts pressure on the nervous system. The relaxing effect of grounding can be beneficial in this regard.

In conventional medicine, ionization is known as an anti-inflammatory agent. However, in that field, they usually work with specialized equipment and, for example, salt supplements (electrolytes) to improve the electrical conductivity of the body, tissues, and organs, and thus also influence the disease process.

Earthing is fine for everyone at any age, but there is a small point of attention for elderly and very elderly people who want to start.

Earthing leads to better blood circulation, which in itself can provide a strong (healthy) detoxification of the body. This can cause some discomfort, such as changes in bowel movements, a slight headache, or a temporary increase in symptoms. Of course, this is highly personal and also depends on the person's lifestyle (diet, exercise, relaxation, ...).

Toxins are now also being removed via the smallest blood vessels, which is very healthy in itself, but it can sometimes be a bit intense if you are already advanced in years, especially if you start sleeping on an earthing sheet and/or pillowcase right away.

For this reason, it is recommended that older people first do some earthing during the day, for example by sitting on an earthing mat (Plush Pad), so that the body can get used to earthing during the day (when the sympathetic nervous system is active).

Depending on the person's condition, 1 to 2 weeks of preparation is usually sufficient. Once you start earthing at night, the daytime earthing can also be continued. You can never be too grounded!

The improved blood circulation in your body through grounding, right down to the smallest blood vessels, and the general relaxation of your nervous system has a major influence on its stabilization and recovery.

For people with neuropathy, it is also crucial that you sleep healthily. At night, when your parasympathetic nervous system is working, which is more closely connected to your organs, organic building blocks for your body are created through assimilation. These effectively repair your system, and therefore your orthosympathetic nerve pathways (when you are awake). This regeneration in connection with the earth's zero voltage is extremely beneficial for the nervous system.

Do be consistent in grounding for a while so that day after day, further equilibrium can be achieved in your body and everything regains its balance, in contact with the earth.

Grounding your body with an earthing product has an anti-inflammatory effect, which has a positive influence on gut health, leaky gut, and the gut microbiome, allowing nutrients to be properly metabolized again.

• Earthing your body improves your brain function by increasing the number of antioxidants in your blood. By regularly standing on the ground barefoot, walking barefoot, or sleeping on an earthing sheet or mat, your body receives more earth electrons, giving you more antioxidants that increase the oxygen levels in your blood.
• Healthy blood oxygen levels improve the processes in our brains, allowing us to think better and improving our cognitive ability. Earthing your body also helps reduce stress, which helps alleviate all kinds of negative mental effects that can impact our brain function. By earthing the body, negative electrical charges in your body, known as free radicals, are balanced, which increases blood circulation and reduces inflammation.
• Earthing also helps regulate hormonal balance, which in turn helps with the production of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine that are involved in proper brain function.
• In addition, earthing can also help by preventing the absorption of toxins in the body that can have a harmful effect on brain function.
• Since earthing helps to reduce stress and alleviate anxiety, it can be useful for people with Parkinson's who struggle with emotional and mental symptoms. The improved blood flow is certainly a welcome bonus here as well.

Earthing indeed helps to make blood flow completely natural and helps the body to restore its own healing potential, so that over time it can eliminate the causes of high blood pressure. A change in lifestyle can of course help with this process. But I would not stop taking medication, because if you are not earthing, your blood pressure will return to its original state, so medication is necessary as long as the values are not correct when you are not earthing. After all, it is never advisable to change medication without prior advice from the attending physician.

Earthing significantly reduces your body tension, among other things, and as long as you are grounded, it also improves blood circulation, which in turn leads to a better supply of oxygen, nutrients, and even medication. Over time, earthing also significantly increases your resistance due to its strong antioxidant effect, which can eventually have a positive influence on the use of medication. Earthing is always complementary to medication because it is the most natural way for our body to recover, just as we have been doing for thousands of years. There are no medications with which you cannot or should not earth, just as there are none with which you should not eat, drink, or breathe; these are our basic physical functions. However, never change your medication without consulting a qualified doctor if you are under treatment.

Tests were conducted on cyclists during their training towards acidification. In doing so, they constantly expose their bodies to a stressful activity that produces free radicals that need to shed their negative charge, preferably without attaching to healthy tissue. The results showed that lactic acid, which is formed due to a lack of oxygen in the cells, dissociates more quickly through grounding into a negatively charged lactate ion and a positively charged hydrogen ion (H+), which is immediately neutralized by the earth's negative potential. This counteracts acidification.

Therefore, by introducing negatively charged earth ions, grounding helps to make the body more alkaline, thus achieving a neutral pH value by neutralizing acidification. Naturally, this is less extreme outside of elite sports but very effective for maintaining our physical balance in normal daily life with sufficient exercise, healthy nutrition, and regular relaxation.

A foundational study regarding grounding (Earthing: Health Implications of Reconnecting the Human Body to the Earth's Surface Electrons, Gaétan Chevalier, 2012) summarizes it as follows:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3265077/

"First, the structure and functioning of many enzymes are sensitive to local environmental conditions. Each enzyme has an optimal pH that favors maximal activity. A change in the electrical environment can alter the pH of biological fluids and the charge distribution on molecules and thereby affect reaction rates. The pH effect results because of critical charged amino acids at the active site of the enzyme that participate in substrate binding and catalysis. In addition, the ability of a substrate or enzyme to donate or accept hydrogen ions is influenced by pH."

A metabolism in harmony has a good pH that does not allow for disease. Grounding plays an important role in this, as the earth's free electrons perform their work as antioxidants in our body (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18047442). Grounding effectively reduces oxidative stress, which leads to a better acidity level in our body.
