Why People Use Grounding Pads And Earthing Sheets

By Cornelia White


Many people ponder about what earthing sheets could do that makes them different from other pads and sheets that people put on their bed. The short answer is that they have small fibers of silver and copper which conducts any electricity that builds up in the body to a grounded source. They go directly on the mattress people sleep on. When someone's body than comes into contact with them while resting or sleeping it becomes a grounding point to the earth.

They generally do this with some form of grounding cord. One end will connect to the sheet or pad. The other end is often plugged into the ground plug of any household outlet that has a grounding tab. Using this setup the excess electricity someone's body had built up over the day, week, month or however long is directed away from the body through the ground into the earth.

This is not a novel idea and has been shown to have surprising benefits for some people who do use them. It is strange to realize that in the past two hundred years or so individuals have some how lost some vital factor to their health and wellbeing. More diseases have become prevalent which are directly related to having an over abundance of base free radicals in someone's body.

The reasoning behind this is founded on the principle that the planet is a negatively charged sphere. Human bodies generate electricity in several different methods. Just strolling through the open air can make a static charge build up in your body. This could cause different things to happen inside the body including headaches, muscle fatigue and increased blood pressure. Grounding yourself helps to eliminate any charge and the possible negative side-effects.

Another relevant issue is the widespread EMF fields that surround everybody. It is a fact that everywhere you look people are constantly bombarded by a wide spectrum of radiation from things like computers, microwaves, mobile phones even household electrical appliances. There is also the radiation from radio and TV broadcasts, wifi, power line radiation and blue-tooth.

This radiation can disrupt the natural flow of the electricity in a body. It may also amplify it in places where there should not be any or does not normally occur. Human bodies evolved when none of these items were present and therefore has no true defense for them. Most grounding sheets will help to dissipate all these fields while you are asleep.

There are some other simple methods to ground yourself. Go swimming in the ocean's mineral water. Bathe in water with extra mineral salts added to it. Walk around outside with bare feet. Sometimes just stretching out and napping on the grass works.

If you do decide to get some earthing sheets or pads, taking care of them is simple. Wash them once a week in cool water with a mild detergent. Never use bleach and fabric softener, they will damage them. It is typically best to dry them on low heat to prolong the life of the silver and copper strands.
