Grounding patch kit - single
Various research has shown that grounding can provide effective relief from chronic inflammation and pain. While grounding any part of the body can be beneficial, the relief has been found to be faster when grounding is applied directly to the site of the inflammation or pain.
Video showing use of Earthing Patches and Recovery Bags in the Tour de FrancePatches are 50mm x 25mm (2" x 1"), similar to the ECG/EKG electrode patches commonly used by doctors for testing purposes. Although they are sold as disposable, each patch can be re-used a few times if peeled off carefully and placed on some plastic. Replacement packs of patches are available.
Comes complete with a coiled connection cord, and your choice of Earth connection.
The supplied cord is approximately 1.8m (6ft) long when unextended. It stretches up to 6m (20ft), although when stretched to this extreme it will tend to pull the patch. If extra length is needed then an extension cord can be used.

Replacement grounding patches
Patches are 50mm x 25mm (2" x 1"), similar to the ECG/EKG electrode patches commonly used by doctors for testing purposes. Although they are sold as disposable, each patch can be re-used a few times if peeled off carefully and placed on some plastic.
Extra cord for twin patch use
The Earth connection plug included with the patch kit has 2 sockets so can be used with up to 2 cords & patches. If you wish to use more than 2 patches simultaneously then you will also need a 2 into 1 splitter.
This extra cord is for our newer type patch kits. If you have a patch kit with a black coloured connection cord, you would need our old type extra cord which can be found here.

If you have any doubt about whether your mains system is properly earthed, we advise using a socket tester to check.

Connection plug for Italy
The Italian connection plug is the type with 3 pins in a row.
Some sockets in Italy are the European 'Schuko' type - often these are found in kitchens. If you need a Schuko type connection plug then choose the Europe option instead.

Connection for North America
The supplied cord fits directly into the 'Ground' pin of a North American type socket, used in Canada, the United States and Mexico. It can also be used in Central America, the Caribbean, northern South America (Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela and parts of Brazil), Japan, Taiwan and Saudi Arabia.
Since it is not uncommon for sockets of this type to be missing an Earth connection, this connection option includes a socket tester to verify correct socket wiring.
Note that not all outlet sockets of this type have a 3rd pin for Ground. Sockets with only 2 pins cannot be used for grounding, and so a grounding rod must be used instead.
Worldwide adapter set
The worldwide adapter set is suitable for use in most countries around the world. It covers the following socket types:
UK: Bahrain, Bangladesh, Botswana, Brunei, Cyprus, Ghana, Gibraltar, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Iraq, Ireland, Jordan, Kenya, Kuwait, Macau, Malawi, Malaysia, Malta, Mauritius, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, UAE, Uganda, United Kingdom, Yemen, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
US: United States, Canada, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, northern South America (Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela and parts of Brazil), Japan, Taiwan and Saudi Arabia.
Europe: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Chile, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and Uruguay.
Australasia: Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Argentina and Papua New Guinea.
Switzerland, South Africa, India, Nepal and Italy (both types of socket).
If you have any doubt about whether your mains system is properly earthed, and especially when travelling, we advise using a socket tester to check. A UK socket tester can be used with this adapter set to test any socket.
Grounding rod kit
If you don't have a properly earthed mains outlet (for example some European houses or a pre-1960s house in the United States), then you can instead use a grounding rod kit to make a connection directly with the ground outside.
A grounding rod is required for use in Denmark where the mains outlets are not compatible with the European connection plugs.
The kit consists of a 0.3m (1ft) stainless steel rod with a 12m (40ft) cord. The rod is pushed into the ground outside, which makes a good electrical connection to the Earth. The cord is only 2mm in diameter so it can usually be run through the edge of a window frame with the window closed.
