Earthing (Grounding)

Earthing refers to the process of the skin (soles of feet are best) contacting the earth (or grass, sand or unpainted concrete) which allows electro-magnetic radiation to dissipate back into the earth. This prevents build up in the body which can be quite harmful.

Some people are hypersensitive to Electro Magnetic Fields (EMFs) which can cause a range of bizarre symptoms. The cause of such symptoms can be difficult to trace. Once affected there are various ways to heal the body depending on each individual's specific needs and how it has affected them.

Whilst the simplest way to earth is to place the feet on the ground there are various products now available which can enable this to be done indoors, whilst working or during sleep. This is most helpful when seasons, weather, illness, or incapacity makes outdoor grounding difficult or impractical.

A range of earthing products are now available:

• sheets
• pillow slips
• blankets/throws
• sleeping bags
• computer/foot pads
• car seat pads
• pet pads
• bands and patches (ideal for workplace)

Testing equipment is also available

• Trifield Gauss meter
• Multimeter
• Radio frequency tester
• Power outlet tester (confirms that power outlet is earthed correctly)
• Product tester

For more information

• A selection of books are available, including Earthing by Clint Ober, Dr Stephen Sinatra & Martin Zucker. This is a clear and powerful explanation (including slides of changes to the blood viscosity before and after earthing) of the detrimental effects of EMFs.
• special earthing shoes or sandals are also available from such manufacturers and Birkenstock.
