In our modern, tech-driven world, more people are becoming aware of the importance of reconnecting with the Earth’s natural energy. From the electromagnetic fields (EMFs) surrounding us to the sedentary lifestyle many of us lead, it’s easy to see why people are searching for ways to enhance their health and well-being. Grounding, or “earthing,” is one simple yet effective way to restore balance and promote healing. Grounding products, including grounding mats, sheets, and accessories, are designed to help you connect to the Earth’s energy while indoors. Whether you want to improve sleep, reduce stress, or simply feel more grounded, these...

Electromagnetic Field Radiation Sources of electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure include ELF (extremely low frequency), cell and mobile phones, wireless networks, smart meters, and microwave devices. This discussion provides information concerning the current consensus in the scientific and medical community about the hazards of exposure to EMF radiation, the status of regulations governing such fields and Environment, Health and Safety’s (EHS) present position on EMF exposure guidelines. EMF Emitted by Electrical Devices EMF includes both electrical and magnetic fields emanating from electrical devices. The electromagnetic radiation is in the frequency range of 50/60 Hz (from typical power lines) through the RF...

Quick facts Radiation has always been present and is all around us in many natural forms. Life has evolved in a world with significant levels of ionizing radiation. Many radioisotopes are naturally occurring, and originated during the formation of the solar system and through the interaction of cosmic rays with molecules in the atmosphere. Tritium is an example of a radioisotope formed by this interaction. Radioisotopes such as polonium-210, carbon-14 and potassium-40 naturally occur within the human body. Potassium-40 is present in many common foods including red meats, white potatoes, carrots, bananas, lima beans and Brazil nuts. The annual average...

Does grounding your bed help? Yes, grounding your bed can have several benefits for your health and well-being, such as improving sleep quality, reducing pain, reducing inflammation, promoting relaxation and much more. What does grounding yourself in bed do? Grounding yourself in bed involves connecting your body to the Earth's surface through a conductive material, such as a grounding mat or bed sheet. This can help neutralize free radicals in the body, reduce inflammation, improve sleep quality, promote relaxation and much more. How do you ground while sleeping? You can ground yourself while sleeping by using a conductive grounding sheet or mat that is connected to the Earth's surface via a grounded...

Radiation Sources and Doses Sources of radiation are all around us all the time. Some are natural and some are man-made. The amount of radiation absorbed by a person is measured in dose. A dose is the amount of radiation energy absorbed by the body. Background Radiation Background radiation is present on Earth at all times. The majority of background radiation occurs naturally from minerals and a small fraction comes from man-made elements. Naturally occurring radioactive minerals in the ground, soil, and water produce background radiation. The human body even contains some of these naturally-occurring radioactive minerals. Cosmic radiation from space also contributes to the background...
