Electrical devices charge us

Is electrostatic charge harmful to my health?

We are constantly surrounded by electric fields in everyday life - through power lines, WLAN, chargers or lamps. These fields charge our bodies electrically. When you ground yourself, this tension can flow away. The body returns to the same electrical level as the earth - calm, balanced and relaxed.

Sleep better

Less pain

Relaxation

Why earthing can be beneficial

Electrical appliances, synthetic fibres and modern living environments can contribute to the build-up of electrical voltage in the body. Earthing enables this voltage to be continuously balanced and is based on natural contact with the earth.

Grounding: The Power of Direct Contact with the Earth

Standing barefoot on natural ground naturally balances the body’s electrical charge. Our earthing products allow you to benefit from this principle whilst you sleep, at your desk and in your everyday life.

Health effects of increased body tension

In modern living and working environments, electric fields can lead to a measurable body voltage. This value can be detected using suitable measuring instruments. As soon as direct contact is made with the earth or with an earthed product, the body voltage can often be significantly reduced.

Many people find lower levels of electrical body voltage to be pleasant, particularly whilst resting or sleeping. As the body regenerates mainly at night, some people prefer to minimise their exposure to electric fields in the bedroom. Earthing products enable direct contact with earth potential and are therefore frequently used in everyday life, at work and in the bedroom.

  • A measurable reduction in the body’s electrical voltage
  • Natural charge equalisation via earth potential
  • Promoting relaxation and recuperation
  • Ideal for sleep, work and everyday life
Contact & Advice

Electrostatic charging

The body as an antenna

Electrical appliances, power lines and modern living spaces generate electric fields. The human body can absorb these fields and thereby build up a measurable electrical body voltage.

Physical basics

The earth has a natural electrical potential. As soon as a person comes into direct contact with the earth – for example, when walking barefoot on grass, soil or sand – a natural electrical charge equalisation takes place between the body and the earth.

In our modern environment, we are often isolated from the earth by the soles of our shoes, floor coverings and man-made materials. At the same time, we are surrounded by electrical appliances, power lines and electromagnetic fields. This can cause a measurable electrical charge to build up in the body.

  • Direct contact with the earth allows for natural charge equalisation.
  • Earthing products apply this natural principle to sleep, work and everyday life.

Energetic balance

Effects on sleep and the nervous system

Natural charge balancing whilst sleeping

The human body regenerates primarily whilst we sleep. At the same time, we are now surrounded by electrical devices, power lines and synthetic materials, all of which can contribute to a measurable level of bodily tension.

Grounding products enable a natural equalisation of electrical charges via the earth’s potential, bringing the principle of walking barefoot on grass or soil into the bedroom. This is why grounding is particularly popular at night.

Grounding as a solution: Your path to balance

Electrical body voltage can be detected using suitable measuring instruments. As soon as direct contact is made with the earth or with an earthed conductor, this body voltage can be significantly reduced.

Grounding whilst sleeping and in everyday life is based on the same principle as walking barefoot on grass, earth or sand. Grounding products bring this natural balance of electrical charges conveniently into the bedroom, the workplace or the living area.

Effect of earthing on regeneration

Grounding & health: Scientific studies

There are various scientific studies that have investigated the connection between body tension, grounding and health. In particular, the effect of grounding on inflammation regulation and regeneration has been examined in numerous pilot studies and clinical analyses.

Sleeping with an earthing mat

This study tested the effect of grounded sleep (with a conductive bed surface) on healthy subjects after intensive eccentric exercise (downhill running) compared to a control group. Earthed sleep phase led to lower performance degradation (e.g. CMJ & drop jump) and lower inflammatory markers (e.g. IP-10, MIP-1α, sP-Selectin). These are indications of improved regeneration thanks to grounding fixed linens.

Fewer sleep problems, pain and stress

In this pilot study, 12 people with sleep, pain or stress problems were grounded at night for eight weeks using a grounding mat on the mattress. Salivary cortisol levels (in a 4-hour rhythm over 24 hours) were measured before and after the intervention. The scientists also recorded subjective data on sleep quality, pain and stress. The results showed that night-time cortisol levels fell and the 24-hour profile approached a normal rhythm. Sleep problems, pain or stress decreased in almost all participants.

Altered hormones

This study examined several experiments (e.g. electrolyte and hormone excretion) in earthed versus unearthed test subjects. Significant changes were observed in the calcium-phosphate balance, metabolism and glucose levels. The authors conclude that the body's contact with the earth influences physiological processes, including in the endocrine and nervous systems.

Grounded patients have better blood values

Better blood and saliva samples

Eight healthy volunteers underwent an eccentric load (gastrocnemius muscles). Four of them were earthed (via conductive contacts) and four were not. Blood and saliva values (enzymes, cortisol) as well as pain and pressure measurements were recorded over 72 hours. Grounded persons showed more favourable values: lower CK values, less pain. This indicates accelerated regeneration.

Summary of the health effects

These studies confirm that high body tension and a lack of grounding can have an influence on inflammatory processes. Earthing plays a supporting role in maintaining health and regeneration. Reducing electrical tension, for example at night with earthing mats, has positive effects on health:
  • Reduces the tendency to stress and inner restlessness.
  • Improved regulation of stress and inflammation parameters such as cortisol and white blood cells.
  • Faster wound healing and equalisation of biochemical reaction patterns in the blood.
  • Positive effects on the nervous system and relaxation mechanisms.
