FAQs
Is it Safe to Ground Yourself Through a Power Outlet?
Yes - grounding through a power outlet is safe when using a properly designed earthing adapter.
At Organic Earthing, safety is paramount. Our grounding adapters are specially engineered with two insulated plastic prongs and a single active grounding pin, ensuring that no electrical current passes through your grounding cord - only the Earth’s natural energy.
Every cord we supply includes a built-in 50,000 Ohm safety resistor and fine fuse-like wire to help protect against rare electrical surges through a building’s earth line. This added safeguard gives you peace of mind while grounding indoors, whether you're sleeping, working, or relaxing.
Does the Power Outlet Need to Be Switched On?
No - your grounding product works whether the outlet is on or off. The grounding pin connects directly to the Earth’s grounding system in your home’s wiring, not to live electrical current.
You can still use the outlet for other devices if needed. A double adapter or powerboard allows your grounding product and other appliances to share the same outlet safely.
Does Grounding Increase Exposure to EMFs?
No - grounding may actually help reduce your body's exposure to low-frequency EMFs (electromagnetic fields) indoors.
Our modern environment is full of EMF sources: power lines, Wi-Fi routers, electronics and solar inverters. These invisible fields can interfere with the body’s own natural bioelectrical signals, potentially contributing to issues like fatigue, poor sleep and general stress.
Research shows that when grounded, the body’s voltage from indoor EMFs, drops significantly. Grounding can help your body maintain a neutral charge, offering a form of natural support against EMF-related stressors.
Scientific studies conducted in urban, EMF-rich settings still demonstrated positive outcomes like improved circulation, reduced pain and enhanced recovery while grounded.
How Much Time Should I Spend Grounding Each Day to Enhance My Wellbeing?
Just 30–40 minutes of daily grounding is enough to initiate a calming, balancing response in the body. However, sleeping grounded (for 6–8 hours) offers the most consistent and profound benefits, as this is when the body enters its natural repair and recovery mode.
For additional support, especially for those managing chronic discomfort or high stress, consider adding daytime grounding with a mat or wristband while working or relaxing. Walking barefoot outdoors also offers a natural way to boost your exposure.
Is There Medical Guidance for Using Grounding Products?
If you are taking prescription medications - particularly for blood thinning, thyroid regulation, or blood sugar - we strongly recommend you consult your healthcare provider before beginning a grounding routine.
Grounding may influence blood viscosity and hormone balance, so medication dosages may need adjustment over time. For best results, share recent peer-reviewed studies with your doctor to guide any decisions regarding your wellness approach.
What Does It Mean to Be Certified Organic?
“Certified Organic” means the product is made from materials that are grown and processed without synthetic pesticides, fertilisers, GMOs, or harsh chemicals.
At Organic Earthing, we use GOTS-certified fabrics and materials, ensuring our products are not only skin-safe and eco-conscious, but also ethically and sustainably produced from start to finish.
All our textiles are also OEKO-TEX® Made in Green certified - meaning they’re independently tested to be free from over 100 harmful substances.
How Should I Wash My Grounding Sheets?
To preserve conductivity and keep your sheets clean:
- Machine wash cold using mild, natural detergent
- Do not use bleach, fabric softeners, or whitening agents
- Line dry or tumble dry low
- Avoid using essential oils or dryer sheets, as these can coat the conductive threads
- With proper care, your grounding sheet will continue delivering benefits and lasting comfort for years.
How Do I Test if My Outlet is Grounded?
Each product includes a tester pen so you can verify if your power outlet is properly grounded. Simply plug it in and follow the included instructions - the light will indicate whether grounding is active. If you're unsure, consult a licensed electrician.
Can I Use My Grounding Product Outside Australia?
Yes - our grounding cords and adapters are compatible with most international plug types using region-specific adapters. Just make sure the outlet has a functioning Earth connection. If you’re unsure, check with a local electrician or use your included tester pen.

Will I Feel Something When Grounding?
Some people feel warmth, tingling or calmness. Others feel nothing - but that doesn’t mean it’s not working. Like good nutrition or sleep, grounding supports your body gradually over time. Consistency is key.
Can I Use a Sheet, Mat or Wristband at The Same Time?
Absolutely. Many people use a sheet overnight and a mat or wristband during the day to stay grounded longer. All our grounding cords are designed to work with standard grounded outlets, even when shared with a powerboard.
