Earthing - Grounding

Earthing and Grounding Mat
Conductive grounding mat for earthing while sitting or standing, while at a desk, watching television, etc.

It can be used under your bare feet, or on a desk with your bare hands resting on it. Ideal to be used as a mat under your computer keyboard and mouse, enabling you to be grounded as your hands or wrists rest on the mat while typing or using the mouse. The mat is fairly soft and flexible so can also be used in bed as a cheaper alternative to a grounding sheet. Some area of bare skin should touch the smooth upper surface of the mat in order for you to be grounded, although it will work to a lesser degree through thin fabric. Alternatively, it can be used together with our highly conductive grounding socks.

Measures 68cm x 25cm (27" x 10"). The conductive surface is carbon infused leatherette, adhered to a foam backing. It is vinyl/PVC free and latex free. Comes complete with a 4.6m (15ft) connection cord, and your choice of Earth connection.

It is a 100% organic cotton half sheet with soft, yet durable conductive silver fibres woven throughout the material – in total each sheet contains more than 500 meters of silver. The sheet measures 305cm x 90cm. This is big enough to fit across the bottom half of any size mattress, with ample tuck length. The sheet can also be used fitted length-ways from top to bottom covering the whole mattress. The conductive area is 201cm x 90cm (79" x 35") with a tuck under of 52cm on each side. Colour is natural cotton (off-white). Towards the edge of the sheet is a connection stud where the connection cord fits. Direct skin contact with the sheet is required for optimal use, so the sheet should be placed on top of your normal sheet. This product set includes everything you need for use: the earthing sheet, a 4.6m connection cord, and your choice of Earth connection. 

Washing and care instructions
It is good to wash your Earthing product. It will not be harmed by washing, in fact it is beneficial. Washing strips body sweat and natural skin oils from the silver keeping it conductive.

DOs

• Wash every week or two
• Wash in a washing machine with warm water (40°C)
• Use a liquid laundry detergent (this detergent is our specific recommendation)
• Line dry or dry in a dryer on low (up to 65°C)
• Can be ironed on a low heat if desired

DON'Ts
Don't wash with bleach
Don't wash with fabric softeners
Don't use whitening detergents, oxi-detergents
Don't use detergents with strong fragrances (either chemical or essential oil based)
Don't use dryer sheet fabric softeners
Don't dry clean

Bleach, lotions and oils can tarnish the silver rendering it non-conductive. Fabric softener builds up on the silver and will eventually ruin its conductive properties. Please also check/clean the detergent drawer of your washing machine for residues of other detergents, since many detergents (particularly powders) contain whitening agents which will harm the silver, even in small quantities. It is advised to wait one hour to use the product after applying oils or lotions to the skin. Groundology are official distributors for Clint Ober's Earthing™ products and 3rd Planet's range of grounding footwear. Uno Vita is our distributor in Norway.

Medical Earthing jordspyd
Spydet er ca. 30 cm og solid og ordentlig. Spydet bør settes i bakken før det blir tele i bakken ellers må man bruke drill med langt bor for å få det ordentlig nedi. Kabelen er på 7.6 meter, med spesialtilpasset hun kontakt for Medical Earthing godkjente jordkabel (den er i underkant av 5 meter) med sikkerhetsmotstand (leveres med Medical Earthing laken og matter).

Norges beste og helt sikre jordingslaken i ren økologisk bomull
Uno Vitas økologiske jordingslaken inneholder 3 % sølvtråder innvevd i økologisk og behagelige bomull. Uno Vita er Norges eneste distributør av egenutviklede profesjonelle jordingsprodukter.
Vi leverer jordingslaken av topp kvalitet. Jordingslakene er sikre i bruk og har spesialutformet, norsktilpasset jordingstilkobling. Våre jordingslaken er standard 150 X 230 cm og har en knappekontakt i enden av lakenet på en «svart lapp» som du fester til medfølgende sikker medisinsk jordingskontakt (Medical earthing). Du kan kjøpe et jordingsspyd i tillegg hvis du foretrekker den løsningen. Dette gjelder alle våre jordingsløsninger.

Teknologien forbinder din kropp med jord (bakken)
En av våre spesialiteter er jordingslaken, -yogamater, -matter, -elektroder, -spyd, jording, jordingskontakter og -kabler og «barfotteknologi”  i alle former hører hjemme i kategorien elektromedisin eller mikrostrømterapi.  I andre land selges disse helsebringende produktene under navn som «grounding», «barefoot» eller «earthing». Uno Vita AS er Norges eneste distriutør av jordingsprodukter etter disse prinsippene, og vårt merke kalles ”Medical Earthing”. Våre jordingsprodukter vil fortsettes å utvikles og pakker med sikkerjordingsplugg, elektroder for punktbehandling er allerede tilgjengelig. Jordingsyoga og Tai Chi matter vil komme om ikke lenge, da mange etterspør dette.

Årsakene til at vi har utviklet et eget merke og egne jordingsprodukter, er at vi ønsket å tilby riktig pris, høy kvalitet, økologisk bomull i lakene og 100 % sikre kabler og plugger som trygg kan brukes i en europeisk 223 volts jordet kontakt eller kobles til jordspyd.  Våre jordingskontakter har to klare fordeler framfor importerte løsninger som selges av andre firmaer, ikke har. Uno Vita leverer standard med alle systemer en ”hann-kontakt” (jordingsplugg) produsert etter *IECEE-standard (IECEE = International Commission on the Rules for the Approval of Electrical Equipment).

Jordingspluggen inneholder en motstand på 100 000 Ohm (kΩ) noe som sikrer at det ikke KAN å gå høy spenning gjennom kabelen uansett om det skulle være en jordfeil, lynnedslag i husets elektrisitetsnett eller om brukeren skulle komme i skade for å benytte et elektrisk apparat i senga med en elektrisk feil.  Videre befinner jordforbindelse seg kun på siden av pluggen. Det betyr at den ikke har noen «ben» som kan stikkes inn i en strømførende kontakt, i motsetning til de amerikanske «bananpluggene» som kan puttes i feil hull og heller ikke har en motstand (beskyttelse) i kabelen.

* Schuko-plugger er utformet etter europeisk standard CEE 7/4, som brukes i hele EU, hvor samme system som i Norge brukes)

Feil & fakta om jording av mennesker.

Påstand 1. Det er farlig å bruke Medical Erting jordingslaken eller tilhørende utstyr, fordi du kan få en høy strøm igjennom kroppen.  Dette er ikke mulig på grunn av systemets innebygde sikkerhetsmekanismer. Et eksempel: Skulle du av en eller annen grunn klare å koble lendingen til en strømførende 230 volts kilde, er det teoretisk kun mulig å få tilført maksimalt 0,529 Watt eller 0,0023 MA (milliampere) eller 2,3 µA (mikroampere)  hvilket er helt ufarlig for mennesker. Medisinsk godkjente (CE) behandlingsapparater som TimeWaver Frequency leverer helsebringende, elektromagnetiske frekvenser/bølger på 0-1000 µA i et bredt frekvensområde. Dette har godt dokumenterte helseeffekter som tilsvarer å være i kontakt med bakken. Det er riktig at er man ute i tordenvær, og et lyn slår ned i hodet, vil man kunne få alvorlige skader som kan være dødelige. Årsaken er at det der ikke finnes noen sikkerhetsmekanismer som en Medical Earthing jordkontakt som hindrer at høy spenning kan passere gjennom kroppen. Folk flest vet at sitter de i en bil med gummihjul, kan ikke lynet gå gjennom kroppen fordi gummi er en isolator (det har så stor motstand i Ohm at det ikke går strøm gjennom).

Påstand 2. Det er skadelige å bruke jordingslaken eller jordingsmatter fordi elektriske «de elektriske feltene vil samles mot dette stedet». Dette er ikke riktig og tilbakevist og forklart grundig for flere år siden av Gaétan Chevalier, Ph.D., and James L. Oschman, Ph.D. i dokumentet: Understanding Earthing (Grounding), les dokumentet hvis du ønsker mer presis og en faglig bedre forklaring enn vår som ikke er skrevet av folk på doktorgradnivå. Det er riktig at elektriske (statiske eller direkte strøm) ladninger vil søke bakken. Det er derfor vi kobler elektrisk utstyr (PC, kabel TV osv.) til jord. Da blir utstyrets elektronikk eller kabel TV ikke forstyrret av elektrisk støy og felter og fungerer stabilt. Hvis teorien om at «feltene ble samlet i utstyret» eller jordingslaken, matte osv. var riktig ville motsatt effekt oppstått. Det er en av grunnene til alt medisinsk utstyr må være jordet, det er derfor det alltid har vært et krav om jording av kabling til bad og kjøkken. Logikken er enkel, med en gang (strøm beveger seg med lysets hastighet i et vakuum litt saktere under andre forhold) en elektrisk leder er koblet direkte til jord (som en jordingslaken eller en jordingsmatte) vil potensialet utliknes mot jord. Det er altså ingen elektrisk ladning i lakenet så lenge det er jordet. Derimot viser dokumenterte kontrollerte studier at bakken (jord) avgir en svak strøm i retur på i området 100-250 µA (mikroampere), hvilket er i kroppens naturlige «vindu» og har vist seg å ha en rekke gunstige effekter. Se forskningslenker lengre ned i dokumentet.

Fakta & forskningsresultater

Bakkekontakt er godt for deg! Forskning tyder på at det kan gi helsegevinster å være i direkte kontakt med jord. Våre forgjengere har alltid vært i kontakt med jord, noe som ikke ble endret før noe få tusen år siden og som ble endret mer dramatisk med innføring av gummisåler, nylon belegg, utbygging av elektriske nett og livsstil på 1950 tallet. Siden den gang har sykdommer som kreft, hjerteinfarkt, diabetes og ulike livsstil sykdommer vokst i takst med utbyggingen av elektriske nett og teknologier.  I dag er vi i kontakt med jord nesten bare om sommeren når vi er barbeint (i det minste i nord Europa), hvilket betyr at vi svært sjelden får overført elektroner, mikrstrømmer og synkroniserende frekvenser fra jorda (herunder Schumann resonansen). Jording det enkleste og mest naturlige metoden du kan bruke for gjenopprette kontakten med jord.

Studier av en gruppe personer som sov jordet i 1 (de fleste effektene oppstår vanligvis etter +30 dager) til 50 dager og personer som var jordet fra 40 minutter og oppover, vister bl.a. følgende:

• Blodet flyter bedre og klumper seg ikke så lett. Dette kan redusere risikoen for en rekke alvorlig sykdommer som bl.a. hjerteinfarkt vesentlig
• Redusert utskillelse av urinsyre etter trening, som å indikere mindre nedbryting av protein
• Hjerteanalyser av type HRV/EKG viser redusert stress og mer parasympatisk nerveaktivitet
• Personer som sov jordet fikk redusert blodsukker (helsemessig gunstig og motvirker bl.a. diabetes), bedre mineralbalanse og indikasjoner på en mer gunstig hormonproduksjon
• Personer som trenger har såre muskler, regenerer raskere når de sover jordet
• Jording reduserer betennelser
• 85 % sovnet fortere når de var tilvendt jordingslakenet
• 93 % sov bedre hele natten og følte seg mer uthvilt neste dag selv ved korte søvnsyklus
• 82 % opplevde reduksjon i muskelstivhet generelt
• 74 % opplevde reduksjon eller bortfall av smerter gradvis uten bruk av medikamenter
• 78 % opplevde bedre helse og økt velvære sett ved å sove jordet

Uno Vita anbefaler alle klienter på Klinikk for Integrert Medisin å benytte jordingslaken. Jording har blant annet vist seg å motvirke klumping av røde blodlegemer, noe som skjer hvis man for eksempel har for lite antioksidanter i blodet (vitamin C). Siden jording tilfører elektroner, virker det omtrent (ikke presist men relevant), som å innta antioksidanter. Dette kan motvirke utvikling av hjerte- og karsykdom, samt bidra til bedre oksygendistribusjon i kroppen, noe som kan ha gunstig effekt også mot flere andre lidelser. Det har også vist seg gjennom forskning de siste 100 år at mennesker er helt avhengig av frekvensene fra jordfeltet. En av de essensielle frekvensene («svingende elektriske felt») som bidrar til bl.a. synkronisering av hjernebølger og signalering i hormonsystemet er nevnte Schumann resonansen.  Sitter du låst inne i menneskeskapte elektriske felt og eller på annen måte er avskjermet fra Schumann resonansen blir du syk.  NASA og det russiske romfartsprogrammet er svært klar over dette og har med seg Schumann resonatorer ut i rommet for at astronautene skal opprettholde søvnrytme med mer. Les mer om effekten av Schumann resonansen her!

Uno Vita leverer EarthCalm produktene som inneholder resonatorer som svinger i takt med Schumann resonansen og bidrar til å redusere de negative effektene av elektriske felter og apparater.

SoftSilver™ Earthing pillow case

• Highly effective at grounding the body.
• EMF shielding against high frequency EMFs.
• Strong anti-bacterial properties.

SoftSilver™ pillow cases use the same advanced fabric as the SoftSilver™ sheets, the culmination of years of product development. This special fabric is woven entirely from ultra-fine silver thread. It feels silky soft to touch, is highly conductive and offers improved EMF shielding compared with conventional earthing/grounding products. While grounding the body in any way greatly reduces the effects of low frequency EMFs (such as from mains electricity and domestic appliances), the continuous silver of the SoftSilver™ products means that they also block high frequency EMFs (such as WiFi and 5G) much more effectively than other grounding products. Longevity is also significantly improved compared with a conventional earthing/grounding pillow case. The SoftSilver™ will remain effective at least twice as long given the same usage and care (see below for recommended washing and care instructions).

It is 50cm x 75cm (20" x 30") and is conductive on both sides. A 6m (20ft) coiled connection cord is included with the pillow case. No connection plug is included by default, since most people will use the pillow case in conjunction with a grounding sheet, and up to two products can share the same plug.

About Grounding or Earthing
Grounding, or earthing, refers to connecting electrically with the Earth. A growing body of research is finding numerous health benefits as a result of the physical body being grounded.

Unfortunately, with our modern rubber or plastic soled shoes and insulated sleeping arrangements, we no longer have a natural electrical connection to the Earth, unless walking barefoot.

There are two key reasons why this electrical connection is important:

The Earth is a massive reservoir of free electrons. Without a connection to this reservoir, the cells in our body are unable to balance the charge of electron-deficient free radicals. The effect of grounding on clumped blood cells is also well documented (see Scientific Research).

Our modern environment is full of a wide spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, from computers, mobile phones & masts, radio & TV broadcasts, WiFi, Bluetooth, power lines, domestic wiring, and other electrical appliances. This electromagnetic radiation induces voltages in our bodies, disrupting the trillions of subtle electrical communications which are a vital part of the function of our body's systems. By being grounded to the Earth we greatly reduce the levels of these induced voltages, as we are then effectively shielded by the Earth's large electrical mass. On a less tangible level, it may also be that the connection we make with the Earth actually carries information, and helps align us with the greater network of intelligence of our planet.

Here is how this process can specifically benefit your health:

1. Reduces Inflammation
To put it simply, it’s thought that the influx of free electrons from Earth’s surface help to neutralize free radicals and reduce both acute and chronic inflammation and accelerated aging.

How does earthing help stop inflammation? Inflammation, which triggers disease for so many people, is largely believed to be caused by a lack of electrons in your tissues. The belief about earthing’s benefits is that electrons can be absorbed from the bottom of your feet when they’re touching the ground, and then these can move anywhere in your body where free radicals are forming. The antioxidant electrons help cancel out free radicals and, therefore, halt damage to DNA and other forms of “oxidative stress.”

2. Helps Reduce Stress Hormones
Chronic stress can kill your quality of life, as you’ve probably experienced firsthand. But luckily, time spent in nature can really help reverse certain feelings of stress and anxiety. One double-blind study that investigated the effects of earthing on 58 healthy adults used conductive adhesive patches placed on the sole of each participant’s foot to read their electrical signals. The subjects were exposed to 28 minutes in the unearthed condition followed by 28 minutes with the earthing wire connected. Controls were unearthed for 56 minutes.

After earthing, about half the subjects showed “an abrupt, almost instantaneous change in root mean square (rms) values of electroencephalograms (EEGs) from the left hemisphere of the brain.” These changes are believed to signify positive changes and lower stress reactions.

3. Can Help You Sleep Better
A 2007 study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complimentary Medicine demonstrated that connecting the human body to the earth during sleep (earthing) normalizes the daily cortisol rhythm and improves sleep patterns. This is because of the effects that stress hormones have on your natural circadian rhythm, energy and ability to sleep soundly. 

4. Can Help Increase Energy
Many people have found that earthing or grounding can improve their energy or fight low-grade ongoing fatigue. This can be one side effect of getting better sleep but also be due to improvements in hormones and lower levels of inflammation.

5. Can Help Lower Pain
Inflammation is a major source of pain, since it increases swelling, stiffness, reduced mobility and malformation. Inflammation in the joints and tissues are the main cause of pain associated with chronic conditions like arthritis. One 2010 pilot study compared the pain levels of adults who were grounding compared to a control group following intense exercise that caused muscle soreness. The results showed that grounding the body to the earth altered measures of immune system activity and pain.

Among the ungrounded men, there was an expected, sharp increase in white blood cells (a sign of an inflammatory response) and greater perception of pain after exercise. In comparison, the grounded men had only a slight decrease in white blood cells, indicating less inflammation, and experienced shorter recovery times.

SoftSilver™ Earthing Universal sheet (100 X 200) 

• Highly effective at grounding the body.
• EMF shielding against high frequency EMFs.
• Strong anti-bacterial properties.

SoftSilver™ sheets are the latest grounded sleep technology, the culmination of years of product development. This special fabric is woven entirely from ultra-fine silver thread. It feels silky soft to touch, is highly conductive and offers improved EMF shielding compared with conventional earthing/grounding products. While grounding the body in any way greatly reduces the effects of low frequency EMFs (such as from mains electricity and domestic appliances), the continuous silver of the SoftSilver™ products means that they also block high frequency EMFs (such as WiFi and 5G) much more effectively than other grounding products. Longevity is also significantly improved compared with a conventional earthing/grounding sheet. The SoftSilver™ sheets will remain effective at least twice as long given the same usage and care (see below for recommended washing and care instructions).Because of the very high conductivity, the SoftSilver™ sheets can provide an excellent grounding connection even through a covering sheet. This allows the use of a more cost-effective, smaller size sheet. Using under a covering sheet will also further improve the longevity.

Suggested uses for the 60x260cm sheet
Under a covering sheet: longways on the mattress for 1 person or crossways for 2 people. Crossways over a base sheet, tucked in around the mattress (up to 200cm wide mattress).

The product set includes everything you need for use: the SoftSilver™ sheet, a 4.6m (15ft) connection cord, and your choice of Earth connection.
