Reduce mucus and inflammation...
Barefoot on the beach, indoors. A red pin in your outlet's ground hole, a long cord to the bed, and a copper belt against bare skin. This is the standard kit: belt only, no ankle band. Nothing powered.
This is our amazing GKIT. If you are looking into grounding, or looking to get the highest connection from any grounding kit on the market, you have come to the right place. This is our standard kit: waist belt only, no Anklet/Bracelet for specific targeting. Otherwise the Standard and Deluxe kits work exactly the same; for the version with the Anklet/Bracelet, see the Deluxe Grounding Kit. Waist sizes 20-39 in. Measure at the belly button, completely relaxed, without pulling in.
- Y-Connector Included
- Waist 20-39 in
- Belt Only
- Replaceable Parts
- No Batteries
- No Wall Power
- No Electronics
Why people use it
- Barefoot on grass, indoors. Walking the beach barefoot and clipping a copper band to your house ground are the same idea. This is the version you can do while you sleep.
- The belt is the sleeping wearable. Largest skin contact, sits at the belly button, stays put through the night. If you only ever use one contact point, this is the one people keep.
- What people use it for. Grounding has been shown to support cortisol, boost energy, change your body composition through lowering body fat, support inflammation and pain, and support healthy sleep patterns by balancing the body's cortisol levels, and much much more. Published earthing research has measured overnight cortisol rhythm, sleep, pain, mood, blood viscosity and inflammation markers; all four trials are in the research drop-down with what each one measured.
- One connection, and it has to be real. The whole kit depends on the outlet's ground actually reaching a ground rod. Test it with a plug-in checker before the first night, and have an electrician confirm it in an older house.
- Built to be re-smoothed, not thrown out. Pinch the copper between your fingers and draw it end to end after each use. It prevents burrs and spikey strands of copper, and helps extend the life of your kit significantly - Josh has had one last nearly three years.
- The feedback we get on this product is amazing. People rave about sleep and pain the most, but we get everything from body fat to energy to libido in our feedback from clients. Please let us know what it does for you!
What's in the box
Four parts. Each one is sold separately as a replacement, so a worn belt does not mean a new kit.
| Part | What it does |
|---|---|
| Red pin wire | A single pin that seats in the lower round grounding hole of a properly wired outlet. Nothing goes in the flat hot or neutral slots. |
| Long black cord | Carries the connection from the outlet across the room to wherever you rest. |
| Y-connector | Splits into two legs that snap onto the two ends of one copper band. It seats one way only. |
| Copper waist belt | The large-contact wearable, 20 to 39 inches. This is the one most people sleep in. |
Want the ankle band too? The Deluxe Grounding Kit includes both, or add the band later.
How to use
- Measure at the belly button, completely relaxed, without pulling in. Order that size.
- Test the outlet with a plug-in ground checker before the first use. In an older house, have an electrician confirm it.
- The GKIT comes with a red wire. It used to be a plug, but because everyone thought the plug had power to it, I did away with the plug and went with the red pin wire only, for the bottom round hole of your wall socket only. Click on the picture of the red wire to see how it and the pin are inserted. From that red wire, a long black cord runs to where you will be using the kit.
- The Y-connector at the end of the cord attaches to both sides of either your Copper Waist Belt or your Copper Anklet/Bracelet. Please note it can only be connected in one specific way. Once connected, ensure the copper is touching your skin for it to function properly.
- Most use the copper waist belt when sleeping. You can also use it around your neck during the day only - bed time would be dangerous. The anklet/bracelet can also be used at night to spot target specific areas, or if the belt is too difficult for you at first. Sometimes it takes getting used to, and other times you're a breastfeeding Mom and the tossing and turning needs another option.
- After each use, pinch the band and draw it through your fingers end to end. It prevents burrs and spikey strands of copper from building up, and helps extend the life of your kit significantly.
- Regardless of what you choose, simply ensure the wires are set up how I said here and the copper is touching your skin, and you'll be feeling the benefits of grounding. There's never too much grounding, and there's never a time you wouldn't want to be doing it.
Sourcing & making
This product does not use electricity, and we use the smallest fuse we could find to ensure that no electricity is sent through the kit into your body. The red wire used to be a plug, but because everyone thought the plug had power to it, I did away with the plug and went with the red pin wire only, for the bottom hole of your wall socket only.
Who it's for
- First-time buyers who want the simplest complete setup
- Anyone over a 26 in waist, since this listing carries sizes the deluxe kit does not
- People who already know they will sleep in the belt and will never use an ankle band
Setup in five steps
- Test the outlet. A plug-in ground checker costs less than lunch. In an older house, have an electrician confirm the ground before you use the kit at all.
- Seat the red pin in the lower round hole of the outlet - the round one, not either flat slot.
- Run the black cord to the bed or chair. Route it where it will not be walked on, pinched under a frame, or pulled taut.
- Snap the Y-connector onto both ends of the copper band. It seats one way only.
- Put the band on so copper meets bare skin, not clothing. Smooth the strands through your fingers when you take it off.
Why I don't think grounding is 'New Age'
- Some people consider grounding "New Age," and I ask the question, "Is walking barefoot in the grass also? Is going to the beach and walking barefoot considered to be some type of witchcraft?" They are the same exact thing.
- These products simply allow us to ground inside as if we had our bare feet walking in the sand on the beach.
- The Earth is charged with free electrons from lightning strikes. These fill the earth with the same current that our bodies, animals, and plants heal with. When we touch our bare skin to the earth, we benefit greatly from this; as simple as that.
- Plants are not happy to go from a pot to the soil just because they are now with their friends - they get massive amounts of energy to use and thrive from. Plants that aren't grounded become WAY more susceptible to root rot, because there is no magnetic field from the earth holding the water to the soil. This is just one example of how logical this is.
- This type of healing energy can ONLY come from The Most High; no one else possesses the power to heal us.
What grounding supports
- Supports the body arguably faster than anything. Supports cortisol in 24 hours. Supports total body circulation immediately. Supports balancing body fat.
- Supports anxiety. Supports racing thoughts, increasing desire for sleep. Fixed my insomnia in 3 weeks and my sleep in 3 months. Decreases the effects of EMF frequencies.
- Supports pain levels. Supports inflammation. Supports blood pressure. Supports mood patterns. Supports proper hormone function. Supports thyroid levels.
The research behind the ingredients
Published research on the ingredients in this product, for education. These studies were not conducted on this product.
Copper waist belt in direct skin contact, connected to the household electrical ground (earthing)
Grounding randomized trial in massage therapists, 2019
Explore (New York, N.Y.) · 2019 · RCT · n=16
In a 6-week double-blind, stepped-wedge randomized controlled trial of 16 massage therapists, weeks spent grounded while working and while sleeping produced significant increases in physical function and energy and significant decreases in fatigue, tiredness, pain and depressed mood compared with ungrounded weeks.
Copper waist belt in direct skin contact, connected to the household electrical ground (earthing)
The Effect of Grounding the Human Body on Mood
Psychological Reports · 2015 · RCT · n=40
In a double-blind sham-controlled pilot of 40 adults grounded or sham-grounded for one hour while relaxing in a recliner, pleasant and positive mood scores on the Brief Mood Introspection Scale improved significantly in the grounded group but not in the sham group.
Copper waist belt in direct skin contact, connected to the household electrical ground (earthing)
Overnight grounding and cortisol pilot, 2004
The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine · 2004 · uncontrolled single-arm pilot trial (no sham group; outcomes partly self-reported) · n=12
In an uncontrolled 8-week pilot of 12 adults reporting sleep trouble, pain and stress who slept on a conductive grounding pad, night-time salivary cortisol was significantly reduced and 24-hour cortisol profiles trended toward a normal circadian pattern, with self-reported sleep, pain and stress improving in nearly all subjects.
Copper waist belt in direct skin contact, connected to the household electrical ground (earthing)
Grounding and blood viscosity pilot, 2013
The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine · 2013 · pre/post pilot study (no sham group) · n=10
In a pilot study of 10 healthy adults grounded for two hours while seated, red blood cell zeta potential - the electrostatic repulsion that keeps red cells from clumping together - rose 2.7-fold, from an average of -5.28 mV to -14.3 mV (p = 0.00036), and average red-cell cluster size fell from 34.7 cells to 15.0 cells, indicating lower blood viscosity after grounding.
Evidence note: What has been published on grounding is early-stage and small. The trials collected here run from 10 to 40 people, the strongest is a 16-person double-blind randomized controlled trial, and several outcomes are self-reported; larger and longer trials are the next step. Readers should also know that Gaetan Chevalier, an author on three of these papers, discloses in the related 2015 Journal of Inflammation Research grounding paper that he is a paid contractor for and shareholder in EarthFx Inc., which sponsors earthing research.
FAQ
How do I know my outlet is actually grounded?
Test it with a plug-in outlet checker before the first use, and have an electrician confirm it in an older house. A three-slot outlet can look grounded with no ground path behind it, and common three-light testers cannot catch a reverse-polarity bootleg ground.
Can I use it during a thunderstorm?
Although the kit should be safe during lightning strikes, I personally do not use it during electrical storms. Unplug the pin wire and take the band off if one is coming through.
Is there electricity running into me?
No. This product does not use electricity, and we use the smallest fuse we could find to ensure that no electricity is sent through the kit into your body. The pin contacts only the receptacle's grounding conductor, never the hot or neutral slots. That is exactly why the outlet's ground has to be verified first.
Standard or deluxe - what is the actual difference?
The ankle band. Both kits have the same red pin wire, the same cord, the same Y-connector and the same copper waist belt. The deluxe adds an 8 to 10 in band for the ankle or wrist. This listing also runs to a 39 in waist; the deluxe stops at 26 in.
How long should the copper last?
Two to three years, if you smooth the strands between your fingers after each use and store the band where it will not be crushed. Replace it sooner if strands break, burrs form, or the connector ends stop holding.
Pairs well with
- Deluxe Grounding Kit — same kit plus the copper ankle band
- Waist Belt Replacement — the part that wears out first, in two to three years
- Ankle/Wrist Band with Y-Connector — add the small-contact option later without buying a second kit
Cautions
- This product does not use electricity, and we use the smallest fuse we could find to ensure that no electricity is sent through the kit into your body.
- Although the kit should be safe during lightning strikes, I personally do not use it during electrical storms.
- The red pin goes only in the lower round grounding hole of a properly wired outlet. Never the flat hot or neutral slots. Around the neck is for daytime only; bed time would be dangerous.
- To ensure your kit lasts the longest, run your fingers on either side of the waist belt or anklet between uses: pinch your fingers on both sides and pull the copper through to smooth it out. This prevents burrs and spikey strands of copper from building up. Do this and place your copper somewhere it won't get smashed between uses, and you should get 2-3 years out of each copper waist/anklet.
Replaceable Parts
Belt, ankle band, Y-connector and pin wire all sold separately. When one wears out you replace that one.
No Electricity
This product does not use electricity, and we use the smallest fuse we could find.
