If you are not a trained electrician, do not experiment with the electrical system. It can lead to an electric shock. It is also extremely doubtful whether it works at all to use the earth of the wall socket because the earth in the Swedish electrical system is connected to the neutral rail, a dangerous cross-connection. Sweden and Albania have long used a 4-wire system in residential buildings (TN-C, Terra Neutral Common), which means that the neutral phase and earth are connected together in the electrical cabinet. In most other countries, a 5-wire system (TN-S, Terra Neutral Separate) is used, which means that the earth is completely separate from the wall socket down to an earth rod or earth plate in the ground outside the building. Therefore, various import companies and all foreign companies sell their Chinese pirated copies of the original sheets from the USA with an adapter for the wall socket. They do not understand that it can be harmful and do not seem to care.

There is no person familiar with this issue who does not warn about the danger of using the electrical system's ground. If the ground in the electrical system is also incorrectly connected, it can lead to electric shock. There may also be leakage currents that can cause disturbances in the body. It is legal to ask an electrician to drive a ground spike into the ground, connect a ground wire from the spike to the electrical switchboard and separate the neutral and ground as it is connected in most of the world. When you have a completely separate ground in the electrical system, there is no problem with grounding the products that way. Even in newly built houses with a 5-wire system, it is not advisable to ground via the electrical outlet, regardless of what companies that sell grounding products say. They are not familiar with the problem.

The easiest way is to use the product tester, which is sold separately. It has a green light that lights up when the conductivity is good. If you already have a multitester / multimeter, you can use it. On a ground rod with a wire, the resistance is about 25 Ohm, so the multimeter should be set to the 200 Ohm measurement range. The resistance in the sheets varies depending on the conductive material used, so if the tester is manual, start at 2 MegaOhm. If you don't get a reading there, reduce to 200 KiloOhm, then 20 KiloOhm and finally 200 Ohm. If it is an "autorange" tester, set it to resistance (Ohm).

This resistor is built in to limit any current that could enter below 30 mA. This corresponds to a mild shock and is legal in many countries, including Sweden. It is the same as on earth fault circuit interrupters. If you want to measure the white product cord or spiral cord, the multimeter should be set to 200 kOhm (200k), then you will get a 50-51 kOhm reading. This shows that the cord is intact. Note that on the older products from earthing the resistance is 100 kOhm. NOTE! You cannot measure the products with a voltage tester or multimeter set to Volts or Amperes, only Ohms. If you have an Auto Range multimeter, it should be set to Ohms.

Another option for grounding the products, especially when living in a high-rise building, is to connect the cable from your grounding product to the water pipe on a radiator if you have water-based heating, or to the water pipe under the sink in the kitchen or bathroom. If the pipe is made of metal, this provides an effective connection to the earth, equivalent to an earth rod. We sell a special earth clamp that you mount on the water supply pipe. Scrape off the paint on the pipe so that there is about 2 cm of bare metal, screw the earth clamp on and insert the male connector on the product cable into the small sleeve and screw it tight with your fingers.

The MacBook Pro and some other laptops with metal casings are completely ungrounded, which is extremely strange. The same goes for the iPad and some mobile phones. When the device is charging, a weak current is generated in the metal casing. When you touch the metal, the current goes through you and into the ground via the mat and the cables. If you remove your feet from the mat or disconnect the charging cable, the problem disappears. Never use a laptop, iPad or mobile phone that is charging, especially if you ground yourself at the same time. Just use them in battery mode, then there is no problem. That said, no one in the know recommends having a phone or laptop in the bedroom as it disrupts sleep, partly from the blue light from the screen and partly because of the radiation.

In some cases, there may be poor contact through a regular cotton sheet, usually due to dry skin combined with a heated, dry home during the winter months. This is rarely a problem during the warm season. It is a problem that can be difficult to solve, but here are some tips.

• Try drinking more water and applying organic moisturizing cream to your skin.
• Use a humidifier in the bedroom.
• Spray a little water on the bottom sheet before going to bed.

Lie directly on the grounding sheet. Our Premium v2 and v2+ sheets are very durable and it is no problem to sleep directly on them for the best contact. They may feel a little rough when new but will soften after a few washes.

Everyone is different and has a different starting point when they start grounding themselves regularly. Some people feel a tickling sensation in their body at first, others don't notice anything. Most say they sleep better, without waking up during the night, and feel more rested. Some say they sleep worse at first and feel a little strange. Researchers believe that when you ground yourself regularly, a detoxification process is started in the body and that may be one reason. Another reason may be that the body's various systems begin to readjust to their optimal balance and that it may cause some discomfort before the natural balance is achieved. You cannot expect immediate results even though many experience changes quite quickly. It is wise to continue to be grounded regularly even if it is felt a little uncomfortable at first, these are temporary symptoms. Grounding is the most natural thing you can do. Only humans and the animals we force to live indoors are ungrounded. Animals in nature are always grounded and it is very interesting to note that wild animals do not suffer from chronic low-grade inflammation precisely because they are always grounded.

Walk barefoot outdoors on grass, dirt, sand, rocks, or in natural water as often as possible. Asphalt is a toxic petrochemical product that insulates you from contact with the earth's surface, so walking barefoot on asphalt is not recommended. The best grounding is achieved by swimming in the ocean or lakes and streams, but the ground in all its forms provides access to the planet's unlimited resources of negatively charged free electrons and energy. When it is impractical to walk barefoot or swim in the ocean and lake, there is an effective substitute. Grounding sheets for the bed, grounding mats for the workplace, grounding pads for your favorite chair, couch, or anywhere else, grounding straps and electrode patches for local grounding. All grounding products must be connected with a cord to either a ground rod in the ground or a metal water pipe with a ground clamp. Grounding in electrical outlets is not recommended.

Earthing poses no health or well-being risks. On the contrary, it provides unexpected health benefits. It is as dangerous as walking barefoot in the grass or on the beach, something that most people find healthy and pleasant. You simply feel good and now we know why. It is very unnatural to be ungrounded. We are meant to always be in physical contact with our amazing planet like wild animals are, but in modern society we have chosen to isolate ourselves completely from the healing energy of the earth and that isolation comes at a high price in the form of imbalances in the body. One of the biggest problems is chronic low-grade inflammation which in turn is the basis of over 100 autoimmune diseases, heart disease, pain, stiffness, hormonal imbalances and much more.

The Earth's surface has a very weak electrical charge that pulsates at different frequencies that control the rhythms of nature and the biological clocks of animals and humans. The Earth's surface also contains unlimited amounts of negatively charged free electrons, i.e. the electrons are not bound to any particles but wander freely in the space between atoms. The Earth is continuously charged with these free electrons through thunderstorms, solar winds, ionospheric winds and the Earth's own internal processes. It is estimated that globally there are between 1000-2000 thunderstorms at the same time discharging with up to 5000 lightning bolts per minute. Electrons are the smallest particles that have an electrical charge. These free electrons are absorbed by the plants and are then renamed antioxidants. When we then eat the plants, the excess free electrons are released into the body and help to neutralize free radicals.

Here is an interesting paradox. The vital oxygen that is absolutely necessary for the metabolism of cells also creates to some extent a by-product, a so-called free oxygen radical, which lacks an electron. In its effort to replace the lost electron, the free radical becomes labile and aggressive and attacks the body's various building blocks, such as proteins, carbohydrates and cholesterol. If the free radicals attack the genes, our genetic material, in the worst case, tumor cells can form and begin to grow uncontrollably. Free radicals are formed in and around all the cells of the body and it is believed that each cell is exposed to tens of thousands of free radicals every day. The immune system also forms free radicals, but here they also have a certain positive effect because they fight viruses and bacteria. This means that many, but not all free radicals are harmful. Recent years of research show increasingly clearly that various diseases and even aging are affected by free radicals. But what determines whether the body is damaged is its ability to protect itself and this is where antioxidants come in as the body's defenders. By giving up an electron to the free radicals, they are rendered harmless. Free radicals are formed in many ways: smoking, fried food, chemicals, stress, air pollution, radiation from mobile towers and Wi-Fi, the cells' own metabolism are some factors. Earthing provides unlimited access to free electrons that are necessary to neutralize free radicals and is therefore called the world's strongest antioxidant.

Pain, disease and other disorders in the body are often created by chronic inflammation. This inflammation, in turn, is caused by oxygen molecules missing an electron, i.e., free radicals. When you have direct contact with the earth, either by being barefoot on the ground outdoors, by lying on an earthing sheet or by having your feet on an earthing mat indoors, free electrons are absorbed which eliminate free radicals and inflammation. This is the theory of scientists and it is supported by feedback from hundreds of thousands of people who use earthing on a daily basis.
The benefits of grounding are very important because medical research has discovered that many of the chronic and debilitating diseases we suffer from in our modern society have the same cause, chronic low-grade inflammation. Science today has understood that pain and illness occur in our bodies where an inflammatory reaction has occurred, but the inflammation has not completely stopped after the healing process. A low level of chronic inflammation can continue for many years, damaging normal tissue and sapping energy.
The human immune system has evolved over a very long period of time during which we were almost constantly in contact with the Earth's surface. In our modern society, we no longer walk barefoot. We constantly wear shoes on our feet, isolating ourselves from the Earth's energy. In recent decades, the frequency of chronic diseases, allergies, autoimmune diseases and insomnia has skyrocketed in our modern society. One overlooked reason for this is that our immune systems began to function less well as we increasingly separated ourselves from the Earth's energy.

The use of magnets can have health benefits when used correctly, but magnets cannot give you access to the Earth's unlimited supply of free electrons or the Earth's naturally balancing electrical frequencies. It is possible to combine grounding sheets and magnetic mattresses.

No! For grounding products to work, the ground rod must be pushed into the ground so that free electrons can travel up from the ground, through the cord to the sheet, carpet or body strap. However, you might want to consider grounding your houseplants. A recent experiment shows that sunflowers lasted much longer in a vase of water than ungrounded sunflowers. This was done by Gary E. Schwartz, PhD, University of Arizona.

First check that the batteries are full in the tester/multimeter and that it is set to the correct measurement range. If you get very poor or no contact, it may be because the silver wires have oxidized on the surface. Oxidation on silver is mainly created by sulfur, but other substances can also oxidize the silver wires. If you use a magnifying glass and look closely at the wires, they are normally completely black if they are very oxidized. Then there is not much to do other than buy a new sheet, preferably a quality sheet from us as our sheets with stainless fibers cannot oxidize or be destroyed by chemicals.
