The Grounding Rod is inserted directly in the earth and the extension cord connects to your Grounding Product. You can run the cord through a window or under a door and into the ground outside. Ground rods can be used with all Grounding products and as an alternative to connecting through your power outlets.
The Grounding Rod is made of stainless steel and is 12" (30cm) long. The cord is 39 feet (12 meters) long.
Setting Up Your Grounding Rod & Lead:
Begin by inserting the Grounding Rod into the soil, ensuring a depth of 8" to 10".
Extend the cord from the Grounding Rod, routing it around or beneath a window or door, close to where you intend to use your device.
Safeguard the cord by covering it, preventing any tripping hazards.
Connect the straight cord's prong end to the Grounding Rod cord's receptacle. If you reside in arid regions like deserts, occasionally moisten the soil around the Grounding Rod to enhance conductivity.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What materials are used in the Grounding Rod, and how long is the cord?
The rod is made of stainless steel and measures 12 inches (30 cm) long. It comes with a 39‑foot (12 m) extension cord.
2. How deep should I insert the rod into the ground?
For best results, insert the rod 8 to 10 inches into the soil.
3. How do I route the cord safely into my home?
Route the cord around or beneath a window or door and then cover it to prevent tripping hazards.
4. What can I do in dry conditions to improve grounding?
If you live in an arid area, occasionally moisten the soil around the rod to improve conductivity.
5. Can I use the Grounding Rod instead of plugging into a grounded outlet?
Yes. The rod is an option to connect your grounding product if a properly grounded power outlet isn’t available.
6. Which grounding products can I use with this rod?
This rod works with all Groundingwell grounding products, including mats, sheets, and other accessories, as an alternative to a wall outlet connection.
Grounding surrounds us every day. The electrical appliances we depend on would overheat and catch fire if they were not grounded, simply because the electron balance would be lost.
On the surface, being ungrounded looks like nothing at all, yet inside the body a dangerous reaction is under way: the surplus electrons picked up from electronic devices have no path out, so they wreck havoc on our cells and on how our systems work.
When your body is linked to the earth's own healing energy through the GroundingWell Mat, those healing electrons move into your skin and cells and neutralize the harmful effects of outside electrical interference — almost instantly.
How Does Grounding Improve Your Health?
Grounding supports better sleep by helping the autonomic nervous system find balance and by lowering cortisol, the stress hormone. That system governs heart rate, digestion and the sleep cycle, so when it settles, muscles relax and stress eases — making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep.
Grounding helps blood circulate more freely, carrying extra oxygen and nutrients into muscle and organ tissue. Better circulation translates directly into more energy, faster muscular recovery and relief from pain.
Grounding can lift energy levels and take the edge off fatigue, likely thanks to improved circulation and less inflammation. Our community also tells us that sharper mental clarity and focus tend to show up right away.
Grounding eases stress and anxiety by bringing the autonomic nervous system back into balance, calming pain and inflammation, deepening sleep and relaxation, and improving overall health — and each of those adds up to a calmer, less anxious you.

Supports healthy circulation for people who sit all day
For patients who spend most of the day seated, the GroundingWell Mat can be a straightforward way to support healthy blood flow. Studies suggest that grounding may help red blood cells move more freely, which points to oxygen and nutrients reaching tissue more easily. In practice it is an easy habit to keep, since the mat sits under a desk and needs no extra effort during the workday.
The GroundingWell Mat is a conductive carbon surface made for daytime grounding at a desk, on the couch or on the floor. Grounding is a practice with peer-reviewed research behind it, looking at how it relates to circulation, inflammation and the body's response to stress. For patients who want a calmer daily routine, it is a low-effort addition that fits into hours they already spend sitting.
