Ground Therapy Pillow Cover Series

To get an idea of the impact of inflammation on health, it’s important to see that in the last 50 years, there has been a dramatic increase in scientific studies on inflammation – now approaching 30,000 a year!!!  Inflammation is thereby being revealed as a critical link between our lifestyle and the soaring global increase of chronic diseases – the biggest health problems both in terms of cost and human suffering. “Earthing” restores and maintains the human body’s most natural electrical state, which in turn promotes optimum health and functionality in daily life. The natural energy and electrons emanating from the Earth is the ultimate anti-inflammatory and the ultimate anti-aging medicine.

We regard Earthing as a genuine missing link to health! It is simple, basic, and powerful. Earthing has astounding potential to do much good for humanity. Connecting to the Earth—either by being barefoot outside or in contact with a grounded device inside—doesn’t cure you of any disease or condition. What it does do is reunite you with the natural electrical signals and charge from the Earth that govern all living organisms dwelling on it. It restores your body’s natural internal electrical stability and rhythms, which in turn promote normal functioning of body systems, including the cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, and immune systems. It remedies our electron deficiency to reduce inflammation—the common cause of disease. It shifts the nervous system from a stress- dominated mode to one of calmness and you sleep better. By reconnecting, you enable your body to return to its normal electrical state, and therefore better able to self-regulate and self-heal.

Earthing is both a timeless practice and a modern discovery.  It simply means living in contact with the Earth’s natural surface charge or "being grounded" which naturally discharges and prevents chronic inflammation in the body.  This effect has massive health implications because of the strong link between chronic inflammation and virtually all chronic disease, including the the aging process itself.

When a drop of blood was taken from different people before and after forty minutes of being grounded, and then examining the fresh, unstained blood under a darkfield microscope, the after- grounding pictures showed dramatic improvements in the blood. As shown in the photos below, there were considerably fewer formations of red blood cells clumped and clotted together.  The blood appeared more fluid.  Purahome believes this is the core to the many healing benefits Earthing provides. For example, from a cardiology standpoint, if you can thin typical ketchup-like blood of heart patients and people with diabetes in the direction of the consistency of wine as shown in the photos, you remove a colossal risk factor! 

Purahome has observed the following benefits from Earthing customers:

• Rapid reduction of inflammation

• Rapid reduction or elimination of chronic pain

• Dynamic blood flow improvement to better supply the cell and tissues of the body with vital oxygen and nutrition

• Reduced stress

• Increased energy

• Improved sleep

• Accelerated healing from injuries and surgery

All of us live immersed in an unseen sea of human-generated electromagnetic frequencies or EMFs that are not natural. They are harmful to humans and cause perturbations in our bodies resulting in an artificial voltage or inflammation. The EMF’s are everywhere—in our houses, workplaces, and outdoors—primarily produced by the electrical power grid. In North America, the grid produces EMFs vibrating at 60 Hz. Existing wires inside the walls produce EMFs even when appliances are not connected. The potential for interference in our bodies varies from person to person and in different locations, depending on the intensity of the fields. Within an ungrounded body, electrons and other charged particles react with the EMFs present in the immediate environment producing unnatural perturbations. HOWEVER, when you are grounded, the Earth's electrons shield you from these perturbations.

What most people don’t realize is that if you sleep with a lamp, clock, or radio next to your bed, the electric field from the wires will extend out to your body, even if the appliances are turned off. The inflammation in a person’s body due to man-made frequencies can be measured with a voltmeter. The higher the voltage measured, the greater the inflammation. Where do people suffer the most inflammation in their homes from harmful manmade frequencies? In their bedrooms! In the bedrooms of our customers and study subjects, their average body voltage (when not grounded) was about 3.3 volts!. The level was significantly reduced to almost zero (averaging 0.007 volts), when people slept on the grounded bed sheets.

This is further supported by the findings of a team of researchers from the Imperial College in London and the University of Washington’s Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences. In a 2007 report, they said that measurements in an office setting showed that the electrical energies people are exposed to indoors for large periods of time escalate the risk of infection, stress, and degenerative diseases, and reduce oxygen uptake and activity levels.  “The nature of the electromagnetic environments that most humans are now regularly exposed to has changed dramatically over the past century and often bears little resemblance to those created in Nature,” they wrote. “In particular, the increased masking/shielding of individuals from beneficial types of natural electromagnetic phenomena, the presence of synthetic materials that can gain strong charge and increase exposures to inappropriate electric field levels and polarities have greatly altered the electromagnetic nature of the microenvironments many individuals usually occupy.”

By being “grounded” or “earthed” in contact with the natural frequencies, energy and supply of the earth’s anti-oxidant electrons, the body’s physiology changes instantly!!! Here are some examples:

Zeta Potential

A study was designed to measure zeta potential, a term that describes the degree of negative charge on the surface of a red blood cell.  Our blood cells operate electrically and being negatively charged enables the cells to repel each other and prevent unwanted thickening or clotting.  The stronger the negative charge, the greater the ability of the cells to repel each other and better flow resutls - the healthier you are!!!

The healthy range for the zeta potential is between –9.3 millivolts (mV) and –15 mV. In this earthing experiment, two hours of grounding improved the average zeta potential of the ten participants from a rather depressed level of –5.28 mV before Earthing to a healthy –14.26 mV afterward, a 270% increase!  The lower the blood’s zeta potential, the more sludgy and thick the blood is flowing less freely, and having a greater risk of clumping and clotting.  The blood samples were then exposed to an electric field and the red blood cells barely moved in the samples taken before being grounded.  After grounding, the blood cells moved briskly along.  This response helped to understand why we frequently see people’s skin turning pink soon after they become grounded. 

Autonomic Nervous System

Perhaps one of the most overlooked Earthing dividends – and so beneficial in these stressful times – is the rapid calming influence that takes place within the autonomic nervous system (ANS) that regulates functions like heart and respiration rates, digestion, perspiration, urination, and even sexual arousal.

This effect may be one of the first, and possibly the first, of the major body systems that react to Earthing.  It begins pretty much instantly.  The ANS shifts from a typically overactive sympathetic mode, associated with stress, into a parasympathetic, calming mode.  The sympathetic and parasympathetic systems are the two branches of the ANS.

Stress throws off the balance between the two branches.  Too much sympathetic “arousal” – from stress – leads to the well-known “fight-or-flight” mode, an alert and readiness state that humans automatically switch on when in imminent danger, like fighting in a battle. 

Revved-up sympathetic activity overwhelms the calming influence of the parasympathetic nervous system. The result, among other things, is a heightened risk of hypertension, arrhythmias, and even sudden death. One major yardstick of sympathetic overdrive is disturbance to what cardiologi
