Harnessing the Power of
Grounding with Copper
Harnessing the Power of Grounding: Bridging Ancient Wisdom with Modern Innovation
Grounding, or earthing, is an ancient healing practice used by traditional Chinese medicine, Aboriginal cultures, and Indigenous communities for thousands of years. It involves direct contact with the Earth’s surface, such as walking barefoot on grass, sand, or soil, and is believed to offer physical and mental
health benefits, including reduced inflammation, improved sleep, enhanced mood, better circulation, boosted immune function, faster recovery from injuries, and increased energy.
The Role of Copper in Grounding
Grounding is a practice requiring occasional recharging by conductive contact with the Earth’s surface. While walking barefoot outdoors is ideal, modern lifestyles often make it impractical. Lorica Health’s
copper grounding mats offer a convenient solution. Copper, known for its high conductivity, acts as a conduit between the body and the Earth’s electrical charge, amplifying the effects of grounding through efficient electron transfer.
Additional Health Benefits of Copper
Beyond grounding, copper is celebrated for its therapeutic properties:
​
-
Pain Relief: Helps alleviate arthritis symptoms and supports joint health.
-
Immune Support: Its antimicrobial nature aids in sterilizing wounds and combating bacteria.
-
Circulation Enhancement: Promotes cardiovascular health and energy production.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognizes copper's antimicrobial power, confirming its ability to kill over 99.9% of bacteria within two hours and neutralize COVID-19 within four hours. Lorica’s copper products are tested rigorously by Oregon State University and the Galveston National Laboratory
to ensure unmatched quality and efficacy.
Innovative Grounding Solutions
Lorica Health integrates copper's healing properties with the science of grounding in its products. Made
from 100% recyclable, antimicrobial copper, our mats are portable, lightweight, and user-friendly. Unlike traditional methods, they work even when shoes are worn, making them perfect for home, office, or travel. Simply connect the mat to a grounded outlet and place it on your skin to enjoy the dual benefits of grounding and copper's therapeutic effects.
The Science of Grounding
Grounding connects the body to the Earth’s electrical charge, allowing negatively charged electrons to
flow in. These electrons neutralize harmful free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. Research by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) highlights grounding’s potential benefits, such as:
​
-
Reducing inflammation.
-
Strengthening immune responses.
-
Accelerating wound and muscle healing.
-
Managing chronic inflammatory and autoimmune conditions.

Why Grounding Matters Today
Modern environments often block natural connections to the Earth. Insulating
footwear, buildings, and urban settings create barriers, limiting our exposure to grounding. Lorica’s mats provide a practical, consistent way to restore this vital connection, promoting balance and overall well-being.
How Grounding Mats Work
Grounding mats connect to a home’s electrical grounding system through a standard outlet. This creates
a pathway for electrons to flow from the Earth to your body, mimicking the effects of walking barefoot.
The process helps neutralize free radicals, reduces inflammation, and supports overall health.
Discover the Benefits of Grounding and Copper
With Lorica Health’s innovative products, the ancient practice of earthing has become accessible for modern living. Experience the combined power of the Earth’s energy and copper’s healing properties to boost your physical and mental wellness anytime, anywhere.
Lasting Performance
To ensure durability and effectiveness, each Lorica Antimicrobial Copper Grounding Mat is manufactured
in compliance with ASTM B227 specifications. This standard guarantees that our mats contain a minimum
of 30% copper over a steel core to ensure exceptional strength, longevity, and conductivity​.
For several years now I have had the opportunity to use the copper ground mat. As an educator and golf coach my days are often long and tiring on my legs. As I've gotten older my recovery time for my legs has increased. This is the reason I've developed an interest in utilizing the grounding mat. After
15-20 minutes, with my feet on my grounding mat, my legs will recover
from their morning fatigue due to the previous day's activities. As I
place my feet on the mat I will begin to feel energized and ready for
the new day. If anyone could use a boost to their recovery time from muscular fatigue, whether you or an educator or an athlete, I would
highly recommend utilization of the copper ground mat as
a source of rejuvenation for overused muscles.
