Frequently Asked Questions

Also known as earthing, grounding helps you reconnect with nature’s energy for better balance, relaxation, and overall health.
  • Promotes deeper, more restful sleep
  • Reduces muscle tension and stress
  • Supports faster recovery and reduced inflammation
  • Enhances overall vitality and energy levels

No, it's not. Throughout practically all of history, humans have walked barefoot on the Earth. They have sat and slept on conductive animal skins, and fashioned those skins into footwear. Living like this enabled our predecessors to absorb the Earth’s natural energy into their bodies at all times.

Over time, as we've "advanced" as a society, we've disconnected ourselves more and more from touching the Earth. Today, everyone is chronically disconnected from ground and as a society, we largely live our lives indoors. At TerreNue, we're committed to spreading the message that we all need to reconnect. We encourage everyone to get outside and put their bare feet on the ground whenever possible. We've theproducts that allow you to be connected to the Earth while you're sleeping, working, and living your life indoors.

In today’s fast-paced environment, stress and fatigue often become part of our daily lives. Prolonged exposure to artificial surfaces like concrete, asphalt, and synthetic flooring further separates us from the Earth’s healing energy. This lack of connection can contribute to poor sleep, increased inflammation, and reduced energy levels. Grounding offers a simple, accessible solution — a return to nature’s equilibrium. By grounding yourself regularly, you may experience deeper relaxation, faster recovery, and improved well-being.

While walking barefoot on natural surfaces is one of the most effective ways to ground yourself, it isn’t always practical in modern life. That’s where innovative grounding solutions come in. Designed to mimic the natural experience of connecting with the Earth, grounding mats, bedsheets, and yoga mats allow you to experience the benefits of grounding anytime, anywhere. Whether you’re working at your desk, practicing yoga, or resting in bed, these products can help restore your body’s balance.

No, grounding products themselves do not carry electricity and do not cause electric shocks. They are designed to safely connect you to the Earth’s natural energy by dispersing built-up static or electromagnetic charge from your body.
 
However, in very rare cases, if the electrical wiring in your home is faulty or not properly grounded, you might feel a mild tingle or discomfort. This is not a true electric shock but could indicate issues with your outlet or earthing system.
 
Here’s what you can do:
• Test your wall socket or earthing point using a multimeter.
• Use the grounding continuity tester to ensure the product is connected correctly.
•If you ever feel discomfort, discontinue use and consult a certified electrician to check the earthing quality at your home.

No, grounding products at TerreNue only utilise the ground part of your outlet and do not use electricity.

Yes, you can. Feet naturally sweat and will hydrate socks, particularly thinner socks and socks made from natural fibers like cotton and bamboo, which facilitates the ability of the Earth’s energy to rise up into the body.
You can wear thicker socks and socks made from synthetic materials, but it will take longer for the sweat to penetrate through them and create the conductivity needed to transfer the Earth's energy.

For an occasional deeper clean, we recommend a simple 3-step cleaning process:
Wipe down the outside of your product using a damp cloth mixed with a small amount of mild household soap.
Use a clean, damp cloth to thoroughly wipe away the soap. (This prevents buildup which blocks conductivity.)
Let your product air dry.

Important: Never use a cleaning agent containing bleach, disinfectants, oils, or whitening agents as they can ruin the conductivity of your Earthing® product. Never put your mats in the washing machine or dryer.

No, TerreNue grounding products do not operate on electricity and only need a proper ground connection to work properly.
