Why use a grounding mat

In my last post, I shared with you how much I love grounding outside and the many benefits that have come along with it. Grounding is a natural, safe and easy way to improve your health. Grounding helps prevent inflammation from building up in the body. Chronic inflammation is believed to be the underlying cause of more than 80 chronic illnesses! Cardiovascular disease, type II diabetes, cancer, asthma, allergies, eczema, arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome, and Crohn’s disease are all linked to chronic inflammation. So many patients I see at the hospital and people I know are affected by these conditions, including my oldest son. He suffers from eczema and allergies of all kinds: food, medicine, and environmental allergies. He has been using the grounding mat at night for over 6 months and I have noticed a substantial difference.

Can you Sleep on a Grounding Mat?

After first learning and experiencing intentional grounding, I realized it wasn’t realistic for me to ground outside as much as I wanted. I was considering setting up a tent outside and sleeping on the ground on the weekends. But then I realized I live in Florida and it’s usually a little too hot to be sleeping outside, at least for me. Not to mention sleeping outside would probably take some getting use to, and the mosquitoes love me!

I decided to rewatch the earthing movie documentary (you can watch this documentary for free on YouTube or on Amazon Prime) and do some research on the earthing mats they talked about.

I made the decision to try the Earthing Elite mattress cover kit. This is an earthing mat that goes on top of your bed, under the fitted sheet. I chose this one because you don’t have to sleep directly on the mat, since I wasn’t sure how comfortable or hot the mat would be.

They say it’s best to have direct skin contact with the mat, but that the mattress cover is designed to ground you under the fitted sheet. Now that I am used to my mat, I find myself pulling up the bottom of the fitted sheet and putting my feet directly on the mat. This mat has helped me to get into a much deeper sleep than I was able to before using it. I sleep so well now. This mat was worth every penny!

Do Grounding Mats Help with Sleep?

I have a good friend who is a neurologist and she also has two little ones at home. She was constantly waking up at night and feeling tired the next day. She was willing to try anything. She ended up getting the Earthing Elite sleep mat kit and was shocked at the difference it made for her. This mat is one that goes on top of the sheet, that you sleep directly on. She said the mat is comfortable to sleep on; she noticed right away that she was able to fall back asleep much quicker after waking up and that she was able to get into a deeper sleep at night.

I also have the universal mat kit, which is a smaller, thicker grounding mat. I use this mat in my office chair, or under my laptop, and on the floor when I meditate. I also take this smaller mat with me when I travel, so I can sleep with it under my feet. I notice such a big difference when I sleep grounded that I want to take this mat everywhere with me.

My son’s swim teacher loves to garden and be outside. When I told her about these grounding mats, she ordered them right away. She found that her husband kept snatching her mat, so she bought more. When her first grandchild was born, she gave her mats to her son and daughter-in-law to help her heal after having a C-section and to help the new parents get some sleep at night. They also reported that they felt like the mats really helped them get a better night’s rest. I can’t tell you how happy this makes me that sharing this information is helping people and making a positive impact in their lives.

Where Did I purchase my Grounding Mat?

When you purchase a grounding mat from Earthing.com, they send you a free Earthing book. The book discusses a lot of success stories and different studies that have been done with the earthing mats. A couple of the stories and studies really caught my attention. One example focused on how the grounding mats helped some women who were having trouble with fertility and becoming pregnant finally get pregnant. Fertility issues are something I personally struggled with and I have so many friends that have gone through and are going through similar struggles, so I feel it is important to share this with others.

Grounding Mat Case Study

The other, an informal study that was done on 28 children diagnosed with autism around the ages of six to seven years old. What caught my attention about this study was one of the topics. The mats seem to help these autistic children that also were suffering from allergies. As I mentioned, I have a son that suffers from all kinds of allergies and eczema. I decided that since he was four and fully potty trained at night, I would try out the Earthing Elite mattress cover for him as well. He doesn’t even notice the mat is under his fitted sheet. It seems like I can’t even remember the last time he has had an eczema breakout since sleeping on the mat. His environmental allergy symptoms that include runny nose, sneezing, and watery eyes have gotten so much better as well.

I truly am so grateful that I came across grounding and learned about these amazing earthing mats. Thank you for reading. Sending you lots of love and healing.
