Grass works great! And Katie addresses the topic of hookworms in the article.

I’ve been grounding along with centering for several years. I have recognized health issues and with make life more comfortable, also be on as little medication as possible.
I love it. I find it is best when I am somewhere where I can connect to all of the elements.

I was hurt in a compartment syndrome accident and would like to try grounding

I, too, have fibromyalgia and have tried many things. In desperation to get good quality sleep and pain relief, I decided to try an Earthing pad. I have used it for about a week now. My sleep has definitely improved. I’m hoping prolonged used will alleviate pain and muscle soreness. It would be wonderful to also get relief for hip, knee and back pain due to degeneration. I’m grateful for ANY help it may provide. Time will tell.

Electrons have a ‘negative electrical charge’ but have a ‘positive effect’ (on health).

hi della, i too have had fibromyalgia for many yrs, 40+ yrs and i didn’t know legumes might be a problem, or fenugreek. i tried turmeric for pain relief and each time i used it i got severe jaw pain. i seem to be allergic, or have sensitivities to everything these days., including 99% of drugs they try to give me. i have tried all the earthing mats, etc. for the home, n while i feel they help, i find i feel the best grounding is when i put my feet in the grass. i like to put a ground rod outside instead of using the grounded part on the outlet at night to plug into my mattress grounding pad to see if that would help me more with pain control. i feel a lot of the pain is due to foods, like milk, wheat, eggs, sugar so i tried to stay away from those types of things and anything with preservatives, and additives. i have found the list each year gets longer and longer of the foods i can’t eat. hopefully someday soon, they will have an answer to our pain from fibro. good luck on your quest to find pain relief, pam

That would be something to clear with your natural health care practitioner for your individual situation.

It should be ok, but I would ask the company you bought your grounding sheet from or a knowledgeable natural health practitioner.

Hi, Kate, I also have fibromyalgia, I was unable to tolerate Drs medications but I found it very helpful to remove all wheat & legumes (including herbs like fenugreek found in most curry powder & liquorice.) If I inadvertently eat any of the above I get a serious flare. All the best on your healing journey.
On the subject of earthing I had earthing sheets a few years ago but with weekly washing they didn’t last long. They were also plugged into the earth plug. I’m keen to try a bed mat with an outside probe as I only had small improvements with the sheets & didn’t know about legumes at that time. I believe Anything natural that lowers inflammation is worth a try.

Don’t worry because the mat or sheet is not plugged into the electricity – only the grounding line. <3
