Groundology - Organic Earthing Recovery Bag (No Plug)

 

In Stock

1 item left

Description

PLUG SOLD SEPARATELY. We stock UK plugs, EU plugs, and grounding rods (that need to go straight into the earth).

The recovery bag was initially designed for Tour de France cyclists and has since become a popular sleeping accessory with athletes and travellers.  Many people also sleep in them at home, enjoying the effect of being cocooned in the Earth's energy.

The bag can be used either as a sleeping bag or as a flat sheet.  Zipped up, it measures 95cm (37") wide by 210cm (83") long, and forms a spacious sleeping bag for one person.  When unzipped it will lie flat, measuring 190cm (75") wide by 210cm (83") long, and will accommodate two people sleeping on top of it.

It is 100% natural cotton, with soft, yet durable conductive silver fibres woven throughout the material.  Colour is natural cotton (off-white).

Kate says, "Grounding technology is an essential piece of kit for keeping healthy in our electrically polluted modern world. I travel a lot and so having the bag is wonderful for keeping me safe from EMFs when I'm away from home. You can also use it as a double sheet when it's hot or if you're sharing the bed."

Further Information

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:

  1. The Earth is a massive reservoir of negatively charged free electrons.  Without a connection to this reservoir, the cells in our body are unable to balance the positive charge which results from things like electron-deficient free radicals.  The effect of excess positive charge in the blood can be seen very clearly by the way in which the cells are attracted to clump together (see image above).

  2. 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. 

The Effect of Grounding on the Blood

One of the most dramatic demonstrations of the benefits of grounding is the effect it has on the blood (see image above). On the right are darkfield microscope images of blood taken from three individuals just before and after forty minutes of grounding. The before images are on the left, the after on the right.  The pictures clearly show a dramatic thinning and decoupling of the blood cells. The blood samples were taken during research into grounding by Dr Stephen Sinatra MD.

How to be Grounded

The simplest way to be grounded is to go outside and place your bare feet or hands on some grass or earth, or to immerse yourself in a body of conductive water such as the sea or a mineral-rich lake.

When indoors, an Earth connection can be made by driving a metal rod into the ground outside, running a wire from the rod, and then connecting it to ourselves.

This may sound like a lot of hassle, but fortunately the majority of domestic electrical systems in the world already have such a rod and wire running indoors, connecting to the 'earth' pin on every mains electrical outlet.  And rather than having to connect a wire to ourselves, a variety of conductive products have been developed, such as earthing sheets, mats, bands and patches.

How To Use

Download the User Guide Here

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 / 105°F)

Use a liquid laundry detergent 

Line dry or dry in a dryer on low (up to 65°C / 150°F)

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.
