Groundology - Grounding Socks (Large)

6 items left

Description

Premium quality conductive socks with the highest silver content on the market. This means they are highly conductive, with strong antibacterial properties.

They will ground your body while keeping your feet warm, when:
  • standing on a grounded surface like outside,
  • placing your feet on a grounding mat,
  • sleeping on an earthing sheet,
  • used with a shoe strap or heel strap (which transforms any shoe into a grounding shoe).
Silver has the highest reflectivity rating of any metal element which means it reflects external electromagnetic frequencies, but also reflects heat from the body (infra-red radiation) back towards the skin. This means the socks feel warm in cold conditions, while still being lightweight and ultra comfortable to wear.

Do not confuse our Grounding Socks with other cheaper 'silver socks' on the market – most of them have a very low silver fibre content. Our socks have the highest silver content on the market (22% silver fibre). Composition: 50% cotton, 25% nylon, 22% silver fibre, 3% spandex.

The socks are light grey in colour (the colour variation in the photos is due to different lighting conditions).

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.

DOs

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.

If using lotions or oils on your feet, it is advised to wait one hour before wearing the socks.
