A good sleep is a luxury none of us can afford to do without.

It’s a naturally therapeutic time for mind and body to rest from the efforts of the day and regain strength for those to come.

In deep sleep, the body repairs cell tissue, muscles, and organs. The brain releases the stress of random minutiae it no longer requires. Pulse and blood pressure fluctuate, promoting healthy cardiovascular function.

Once upon a time, a good sleep was the normal consequence of hearty physical activity and time spent in the outdoors, combined with the daily responsibilities of work and family life. In today’s world, sleep is often broken by disruptions and complexities our ancestors could scarcely have imagined, including disconnection from the natural world, and the relentless demands of cell phones and digital technology. Insufficient sleep introduces a multitude of wellness challenges that are difficult to overcome, creating a vicious circle of increased stress, compromised immunity, and exhaustion.

Earthing can help.

A conductive Earthing Pillow Cover allows you to literally plug into a grounded current for a deeper, more healthful sleep. Research and anecdotal evidence show that the human body responds positively to physical contact with the Earth’s natural electromagnetic field. Grounding practices such as walking barefoot or swimming in natural bodies of water are ways to connect with these organic electrons.

Indoor grounding products are another way to connect. A grounded sleep stabilizes the body, powerfully supporting all the regenerative activity taking place. Studies indicate that earthing accelerates healing, reduces pain and inflammation, and enhances mood and mental health in addition to improving the quality of our sleep. Using an Earthing Pillow Cover over your regular pillow at night helps you achieve the benefits of grounding in the comfort of your own bed. The Earthing Pillow Cover is made with conductive, carbon-infused leatherette, dotted with soft perforations for airflow. To use, simply attach the cover by slipping its elasticized straps over each end of your pillow. Snap the grounding cord to the metal button at the corner of the pillow cover, and plug the other end into a grounded outlet. When plugged in, as you sleep, the cover conducts the Earth’s electrons through the grounded current in your home, or any location with a grounded outlet. Your body absorbs this energy via bare skin contact with the conductive pillow cover.
