Grounding sheet or pad?

Posted by sarahfloranne @sarahfloranne, Sep 16 3:20pm

I have chronic pain & inflammation all over. Some caused by arthritis in spine & hips. I have had breast cancer-one mastectomy & a lumpectomy. I had Polymyalgia Rheumatica for 13 years & was on steroids & methotrexate the whole time. Has anyone tried a grounding sheet or pad to help with circulation & inflammation?

I'm not able to use the grounding sheets as there is a warning that they should not be used while taking blood thinners, as grounding with a mat or bed grounding sheet can make blood thinner too.

There is another discussion about earthing/grounding here:

I have not used one…yet. Considering, as I live in a cold climate and can’t naturally ground most of the year. We do have another thread that discusses grounding which I see was posted to this thread.
