“Three stars as no fault to company but I bought this about two years ago now and my girlfriend has used it once , she claimed that she felt unwell after using it . I’ve now had to purchase a special adapter to see if that helps but she doesn’t bother using it .”
Thank you for the update, it's much appreciated. There is no right or wrong response when you first begin grounding. Some people don't feel anything whilst others report feeling almost flu-like symptoms, and these will subside over time as the body settles. If your body does feel overwhelmed then we would recommend reducing the amount time you have connected to the earth and increase that time slowly over a period of days and weeks, however, grounding should be part of your daily routine and will take time for most to see improvements - please don't be put off after not seeing results on the first time.
Grounding is a natural thing to do for humans and animals and as such, there are no magic lights, buttons or whizzy tech to show us what is going on inside our body.
So it’s a really common question that we get asked regularly as to whether being grounded is “working” even if the person doesn’t feel anything, and it’s completely understandable.
The short answer is... YES! It is working. Whether you are barefoot on the grass or using one of our Earthing products, you ARE getting all the health benefits.
When we consider our whole body, there may be no immediate change, feeling or sensation occurring to us but when we delve into the cellular level, there’s lots and lots going on. Your blood begins to flow more freely, your nervous system is calmed, and inflammation is being quashed with the flood of electrons throughout our body.
For many medical conditions, by the time you notice symptoms, it has already been rumbling away for a long time and taken time to establish. So when healing begins through your cells, it’s natural for things to take a while to improve to the point where you notice a change or an improvement yourself.
It can feel frustrating when you first begin grounding and you don’t “feel” the immediate benefits, however keep going with it. Try and make it part of your daily routine if at all possible – your body will thank you for it in the long term.
When a single cell heals or thrives you won’t notice that, but over time this becomes a cumulative effect and your body will begin to function better and you will notice the difference.
“My wife sits watching the tv and her bare feet on the mat every night. We are assuming it is medicinal but can’t comment on anything really regarding health benefits. But we will carry on using it. Alas Smart”
“I have to say as soon as I had this I put it under my desk whilst working and barefoot. I have terribly painful Achilles and some other minor aches and pains going on but I really felt after using this for a few hours felt instantly better. Now it’s getting colder I will put on my desk so my hands can go on it so I can keep my socks on. I use this alongside my bracelet when I’m not working at home and would not be without either Excellent customer service as well.”
Thank you so much for your feedback, and fantastic to hear that your Achilles is healing. If you still prefer to have the mat under your desk, you can still wear 100% natural fibre socks on your feet and still be grounded when you touch the Universal Earthing Mat - natural fibres still allow the electrons to flow, so something like 100% wool or 100% cotton would be ideal
“I’ve been using the grounding bedsheet most nights for around a year and I do feel my sleep as improved. It can be cold to my skin but I prefer the direct contact. I feel trust for Be Grounded’s quality and integrity. Great experience.”
“Hiya,to be honest i didnt really see any difference at all,im sure they are helpfull to others but i feel i get more grounding walking in sea and sand,just being honest im lucky to be at the beach not all are....”
“Even as a meditation teacher with nightly rituals in place, I’ve noticed a real difference since using this grounding mat. I’ve struggled terribly with restless legs and sleepless nights, but after watching The Earthing Movie I decided to give the mat a try. I placed it under my cotton sheet, and I haven’t looked back since, every night I enjoy peaceful, restorative sleep.
I wouldn’t be without it now. I also spend a lot of time working at the computer, so I keep the mat under my desk during the day as well. While I still make sure to ground outside daily for at least half an hour, this universal mat has been a game-changer, supporting me both day and night. I highly recommend and look forward to purchasing the larger option so my partner can also enjoy the benefits at bed time”
“I am loving my earthing mat. I sit with it at my desk and have been told I need to check my blood pressure regularly for a while. I have noticed that if I take my blood pressure after using my mat it is much lower so very happy as I don’t want to have to take tablets if possible.”
