FAQs
Is it safe to ground yourself through a power outlet?
Yes, grounding through a power outlet is safe when you use a specially designed earthing adapter.
At Organic Earthing, safety is our top priority. Our adapters are designed with two plastic prongs at the top to ensure no electrical current can pass through. Only the third metal 'earth' pin is active, allowing free electrons to flow for effective grounding.
To further enhance safety, our leads are equipped with a 50,000 Ohm safety resistor and fine, fuse-like wire. This added protection safeguards against the rare event of a power surge through a building's earth wiring. With Organic Earthing, you can ground yourself confidently, knowing you're using products designed with your safety in mind.
Does the power outlet need to be switched on?
No, grounding products function effectively even when the power outlet is turned off. This is because they only transfer free electrons directly from the earth. However, if you prefer, you can leave the outlet switched on to use it alongside an electrical appliance. A double adapter or powerboard can also be used to share the socket without any issues.
Does grounding increase exposure to EMFs?
EMFs, or electromagnetic fields, are energy zones generated by electronic devices, wiring, power lines, mobile phones, solar inverters, and other electrical systems.
The human body operates through bioelectrical processes, with tiny electrical impulses controlling essential functions in the heart, brain, and organs. However, prolonged exposure to high levels of EMFs can disrupt this natural balance, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, sleep disturbances, aches, depression, and even cellular damage.
Grounding offers a natural and effective way to shield your body from this invisible stress.
Research shows that grounding significantly reduces the impact of low-frequency A/C electrical EMFs, such as those emitted by air conditioners, refrigerators, hairdryers, computers, and similar devices. While grounding, the levels of A/C electrical EMFs induced in the body decrease to levels too low to cause harm, helping to protect against their potential negative effects.
The greatest advantage of grounding lies in its ability to support your body’s natural healing mechanisms, enabling you to thrive in today’s EMF-saturated world.
Studies on grounding have been conducted in urban settings surrounded by EMFs, including the medical devices used during testing, such as electrode patches for ECG monitoring. Despite the presence of EMFs, participants consistently experienced benefits such as improved circulation, reduced pain, better mood, and decreased muscle tension while grounding.
These findings align with countless testimonials from individuals in urban, suburban, and rural environments worldwide who have embraced grounding for its transformative effects.
Incorporating grounding into your daily routine is a smart, proactive approach to protecting your health and enhancing your body’s natural resilience in an increasingly EMF-dense world.
How much time should I spend grounding each day to enhance my health?
Spending just 30 to 40 minutes a day grounding is enough to initiate the body’s healing process. However, the most significant healing and regeneration occur during sleep, making the 7-8 hours you spend resting the ideal time for earthing. Many people have reported reduced inflammation and arthritis pain from better sleep after just one or two nights of sleeping grounded.
For those with chronic health concerns, adding extra grounding time during the day can be particularly beneficial. This could include walking barefoot outdoors whenever possible or using an indoor grounding mat at home or in the workplace to enhance the effects.
What does it mean to be certified organic?
Certified Organic products are grown and processed without the use of synthetic chemicals, fertilisers, or GMO's. Organic is an innovative method of farming and production – and is increasingly being recognised as being on the leading edge of food and fibre technology. Here at Organic Earthing we are committed to being eco-friendly, offering only certified organic products that prioritise your health and the planet.
What is the medical guidance?
If you have a medical condition and are taking blood-thinning, thyroid, or blood-glucose medications, it’s important to consult your doctor before incorporating regular earthing into your routine. Earthing is known to influence these medications, particularly as it acts as a natural blood thinner, which could require adjustments to your dosage. To support your discussion, consider printing and sharing the following online studies with your doctor, which highlights how grounding can reduce blood viscosity.
