The Barrett Recovery Grounding Mat dispels charges in the body that can lead to inflammation and other symptoms. The mat is easily plugged into a grounded outlet to access the earth’s electrical current. Users can either stand or sit directly on the mat or place it under their mattress for contact while sleeping. Our grounding mat is excellent for treatments after surgery or as a part of a daily care routine.

Research consistently proves the benefits of direct contact with the earth, a practice called grounding or earthing, including reduced inflammation, chronic pain relief, improved wound healing, mood control, and strengthened immune support. But, it’s unrealistic for everyone to take the time out of their lives for a daily barefoot nature walk. The Barrett Recovery Grounding Mat is an essential self-care tool that brings the benefits of grounding indoors.

It’s harder than ever to get outside with the demands of our work, home, and social lives, and even when we do enjoy nature, our modern culture still prevents us from truly connecting. Most of the shoes we wear contain rubber soles, which insulate the bottom of our feet from the electrical charges of the earth. These charges positively affect the body, allowing it to recalibrate its natural defenses. Scientists have found that direct contact with the earth charges the living matrix, which connects all our living cells. Electrical conductivity within the living matrix functions as an immune system defense, and grounding uses the electrical charges from the earth to activate it. 

However, modern life disconnects us from nature in a plethora of ways, and as a result of a global pandemic, the 2020s have been defined by virtual living. Even before our lives changed, people have been spending less and less time outside. According to a 2019 study, almost half of the US population doesn’t participate in any outdoor recreation, with only around 18% engaging in outdoor activities at least once a week. So, how does one take advantage of grounding while navigating the challenges of modern life? Using a conducting mat similar to those people in the electronics industry use to prevent static charges from developing makes it possible to engage in grounding indoors. 

Using a grounding mat is simple and involves connecting yourself to the earth’s natural electric charge, which is believed to help reduce inflammation, improve sleep, and enhance overall well-being. Here’s how to use a grounding mat:

1. Set Up the Mat: Place the grounding mat on a surface where you spend time, such as under your desk, on your bed, or on the floor where you sit or lie down.

2. Connect to a Grounding Source: Attach the cord provided with the mat to the designated outlet on the mat. Plug the other end into a grounded electrical outlet (the third prong of an outlet), or use a grounding rod that you place outside if you prefer not to use an electrical outlet.

3. Make Direct Contact: To benefit from the grounding mat, ensure that your bare skin is in direct contact with it. You can place your feet, hands, or body on the mat while working, sleeping, or relaxing.

4. Use Regularly: Incorporate the grounding mat into your daily routine for at least 30 minutes or longer, depending on your needs and the product instructions.

5. Maintenance: Keep the mat clean by wiping it down with a damp cloth and avoid exposing it to water or moisture.

Grounding mats are designed to simulate the effects of walking barefoot on the earth, helping to balance the body’s electrical charge.
