A grounding mat is a tool for grounding indoors, providing a simple and convenient way to connect with the Earths energy while indoors. It is designed to provide the effects of grounding outdoors by plugging into the ground port of a home outlet. Grounding mats are typically made of conductive materials such as carbon, copper or silver fibers, which allow the mat to conduct the Earth's energy. When you stand, sit, or touch the mat, your body becomes grounded, allowing you to absorb the Earth's beneficial electrons, which can help to neutralize free radicals and reduce inflammation in the body. The idea behind grounding mats is to replicate the physical connectivity you would make by walking barefoot on the earth’s surface. Grounding mats create an electrical connection between your body and the earth, allowing free electrons to flow from the earth and into your body to create a neutral electrical charge. While grounding mats can be a fantastic tool for connecting with the Earth's energy during the day time, for a more comprehensive and prolonged grounding experience, earthing sheets are recommended.
