Grounding sheets— what say you?

What is it?

Snake oil

Hahahahahahahaha.
That’s not what grounding is. Grounding in your house is a backup pathway for excess current to safely exit to the ground. It’s a safety feature to prevent faults in your wiring or appliances from shocking you. You’d also ground yourself if you were working on delicate electronics so you don’t fry them if you scuff your feet or something and have extra charge on your body — the excess charge goes through the ground instead of into the circuit.

When I was a kid we were at a shopping center w/my grandmother who was a very practical woman. There was a pyramid thing and my grandmother asked about it. The salesperson told her that you sit underneath it and you get energy from the earth and will feel energized and peaceful. So, my grandmother just had to explore this in case she was wrong. She was nothing if not fair. Anyway, she came out of that thing so annoyed. She grumbled about it for the rest of our shopping afternoon.

Snake oil salespeople are real.

Oh I know, but the flowing electrons in the quote IS the definition of electricity. Flowing electrons are electrical current.

I have lived 60+ years without grounding sheets. I really have more exciting thIngs I want to buy.

I've never heard of them, am curious what they're made of, but I won't Google them either.
I'll bet they have helped some people, if only as a placebo...

Poppycock!

I’ve used Chinese medicine and alternative medicine with good results but this sounds bogus. 🙄 When my best friend had terminal cancer, the snake oil salespeople came out of the woodwork so $#*t like this really pi$$es me off.

Well now I’ve heard everything. How is something that doesn’t reach the floor, much less the natural ground outside, supposed to “replicate the physical connection of walking barefoot on the ground, allowing electrons to flow from the earth into your body to create a neutral electrical charge.“

I completely go along with walking barefoot outside, being with nature, creating a garden etc for renewing energy and feeling good, but this stuff about seeking a neutral electrical charge by allowing electrons to flow from the earth? What a load of hogwash as far as I’m concerned. Sounds like a marketing phrase to let someone rip off their customers. Just go outside and be with “nature”.

I do meditate outside in the morning right after sunrise sometimes barefoot sometimes not.

I do feel centered & energized when I do it. Probably more because I’m absorbing light & creating vitamin D while I mediate to center myself.

I Googled because I was curious:

"to have an effective earthing bed system, your skin needs to be in contact with a conductive material connected to the grounding port in an outlet near your bed.

Earthing sheets are regular bedding sheets with a conductive material woven through them.

Most often, this material is silver thread because silver is an excellent conductor."

I would try being barefoot outside first. If I thought it was making a huge difference I would buy a sheet for the winter when you couldn't be barefoot outside.

Nope! Sounds like a gimmick to me. I will keep my 100% percent cotton ones.

Similar, not same to the whole copper bracelet thing my guess is.

In a similar van, I’m seeing these earrings that people are paddling for, I think, thyroid health. Or some thing it’s always something.
