Grounding by Samina
Lokosanaยฎ Grounding Pad
Why Ground Your Body?
SAMINA created the Lokosanaยฎ Sleeping and Grounding Pad (โLokosanaโ) to improve sleep quality through a simple, natural method. The proven effectiveness of our grounding mat earned its recognition as a medical device in Europe. (Read more about that below.)
In a nutshell, groundingโor earthingโconnects your body to the Earth’s natural electrical charge to restore balance. When we lack this connection, a buildup of positive charge can trigger inflammation, pain, and sleep issues. Grounding neutralizes this imbalance with the Earth’s negative charge, making it an easy way to reduce pain and improve your sleep overnight.
Dive into the subject a little deeper here >>> โWhat is Grounding?โย ย
One Layer of the SAMINA System
Lokosana is a key component of the SAMINA Sleep System but it is optional.
When incorporated into the system, it’s sandwiched between the mattress and wool topper. This indirect contact method is a distinct feature of Lokosana that you can read more about below.
When used with another mattress brand, it generally sits on top of the mattress and is covered by a sheet or mattress protector. Even without the SAMINA sleep system, Lokosana can improve your sleep quality and offer health benefits obtained from grounding.
Enhance Your Sleep with Lokosanaโs Grounding Technology
The Lokosana grounding pad features SAMINAโs innovative and patented technology, designed to provide effective grounding for your body indoors as you sleep. Grounding, or โearthing,โ typically requires direct contact with the Earthโs surface, but the Lokosana pad makes this possible even when youโre indoors. The pad works by connecting to the Earth through a cable that plugs into a standard grounded electrical outlet. This outlet is linked to the buildingโs wiring, which extends deep into the Earth, allowing the pad to simulate the natural grounding effect of being outdoors. Importantly, the system operates without electricity, guaranteeing safe and passive grounding throughout the night.
The grounding process allows your body to absorb the Earthโs gentle negative charge, which helps rebalance your bioelectrical system, ultimately leading to more restorative sleep. Studies have shown that grounding can produce significant health benefits. These include anti-inflammatory effects that help relieve muscle soreness, joint pain, and tension, as well as improved blood circulation. Additionally, grounding has been found to normalize cortisol levels, reducing stress and promoting a more relaxed state conducive to sleep. By reducing inflammation and stress, grounding may also help support the immune system and accelerate recovery from physical strain.
Grounding has proven particularly effective for those suffering from chronic pain or insomnia, as it enhances sleep quality by creating a deeper, more restful experience. The Lokosana pad offers an easy and convenient way to replicate the benefits of grounding indoors, making sure you can experience these positive effects every night, regardless of your environment.
Discover Distinct Advantages: What Makes Lokosana Truly Exceptional
The Lokosanaยฎ grounding pad by SAMINA comes with several distinct and unique advantages that set it apart as a premium choice for enhancing sleep quality through body grounding. Each of these features works together bring a more effective, comfortable, and safe grounding experience.
- Certified Medical Device: Lokosana is a certified medical device (CE) in accordance with strict EU standards, administered by Swissmedic. This certification highlights its proven ability to promote sleep and support the bodyโs natural regeneration processes, so users can trust in its effectiveness and safety.
- High Silver Content: Unlike many other grounding products that use less conductive materials such as carbon or low amounts of silver, Lokosana contains an impressive 46% silver in its metallic fabric. Silver is the most conductive metal, bringing a higher supply of health-enhancing free electrons, which are necessary for enhancing sleep, reducing inflammation, and supporting cellular regeneration.
- Indirect Contact Grounding: SAMINAโs design makes sure that no part of your body touches the silver threads. The indirect contact grounding method minimizes the risk of electrostatic shocks, a common issue with other grounding mats that rely on direct contact between your body and conductive materials.
- Protection Against Dirty Electricity: The adapter plug used with Lokosana includes an earth protector choke, which neutralizes erratic or โdirty electricityโ that could otherwise disrupt the grounding process, guaranteeing a safer, more reliable grounding experience.
- Bio-Magnets: Swiss bio-magnets are integrated into the pad to replicate the Earthโs natural magnetic field, helping to reorient your body. These bio-magnets enhance the antioxidant effects of grounding, further supporting improved sleep and overall well-being.
These five unique features make Lokosana an exceptional solution for those seeking to prioritize safety, comfort, and efficiency in their sleep routine. Read our in-depth guide on the distinct advantages of the Lokosana Grounding Pad by SAMINA.
A Certified Medical Device with Swissmedic Approval
The Lokosanaยฎ sleeping and grounding mat by SAMINA is a certified medical device (CE) according to the EU standards (1) established and administered by Swissmedic (2). It is specifically designed to enhance sleep quality and promote effective regeneration. Medical devices like Lokosana meet specific requirements for efficacy, safety, performance, and quality, making sure they can alleviate symptoms related to non-organic sleep disorders.
Oxidative stress, a common barrier to producing melatonin (the sleep hormone) and reducing cortisol (the stress hormone), is often a major factor contributing to insomnia and poor sleep. Lokosana is particularly beneficial for those who struggle to fall asleep, have difficulty staying asleep, or wake up too early without being able to return to sleep. The grounding pad has been shown to upgrade sleep by promoting the bodyโs natural ability to relax and recover.

The Superior Conductivity of Silver for Body Grounding
A medical device is not medicine, but something intended to be used by and on humans for the purpose of alleviating symptoms, to treat disease or injuries, or otherwise to support health. Medical devices are designated with the letters CE indicating the product meets the requirements for efficacy, safety, performance, and quality. Certified medical devices are then monitored continuously to ensure these requirements are maintained once in use by the public.
Safe Sleeping with Silverโs Superior Conductivity
Silverโs exceptional ability to conduct electrical and electromagnetic fields makes it ideal for grounding. The silver-cotton fabric in Lokosana attracts radiofrequency (RF) and electromagnetic (EMF) fields, drawing them into the pad and away from your body. Since the human body is a poor conductor compared to silver, these fields naturally gravitate toward the superior conductor, making sure better protection from environmental radiation while you sleep.
Gentle and Even Grounding
Lokosanaโs silver fabric brings a smooth and balanced grounding process. Unlike carbon-based products, which can cause uneven discharges, Lokosanaโs silver threads gently dissipate accumulated electrical charges throughout the padโs surface, preventing abrupt or jerky discharges. The consistent, even grounding delivers a more restful and effective experience.
Lokosana vs. Other Grounding Products
Unlike a carbon-based grounding mat, which often distribute electrical fields unevenly, the silver technology in Lokosana efficiently directs fields away from your body. This upgrades both the effectiveness and comfort of the grounding process, offering a superior, long-term solution for those seeking enhanced sleep and health benefits.
Enhancing Sleep Quality with the Lokosanaยฎ Grounding Pad and SAMINA Sleep System
Each Lokosanaยฎ grounding pad is carefully designed to serve one individual, respecting the unique bio-electric system of each person. The padโs expansive surface area maintains optimal conductivity, making the grounding process as efficient as possible. For couples or those who share a bed, it is recommended that each individual uses their own grounding pad to maintain the effectiveness of the grounding process. Sharing a single pad may compromise the benefits, as each personโs bioelectric system operates differently and requires individual grounding.
When integrated into the SAMINA Sleep System, the Lokosanaยฎ grounding pad is placed between the natural rubber mattress and the sheepโs wool mattress topper. This precise positioning allows for maximum conductivity, as it helps the pad maintain close contact with the body while benefiting from the comfort of SAMINAโs high-quality natural materials.
For those using non-SAMINA mattresses, the Lokosanaยฎ grounding pad can be placed directly on top of the mattress, like a standard mattress pad. It is ideally used in combination with a SAMINA sheepโs wool topper for optimal comfort and conductivity.
Grounding during sleep helps restore the bodyโs natural electrical balance by aligning it with the Earthโs magnetic field. The alignment can improve sleep quality and overall well-being by supporting the bodyโs regenerative processes. The bio-magnets embedded in the Lokosanaยฎ pad stabilize distorted electromagnetic fields, particularly in urban areas, where environmental factors can disrupt the bodyโs natural rhythm.
SAMINAโS Grounding Technology
SAMINAโs innovative grounding technology is wrapped in organic cotton for added luxury, combined with layers of soft sheepโs wool to guarantee both comfort and functionality. The grounding process uses high-quality silver threads interwoven within the fabric to attractย EMF (electromagnetic field) signals, preventing them from affecting the body.
The pad is grounded via a plug that connects to your householdโs electrical system, allowing the connection to the earthโs grounding system without the use of electricity. Innovations in SAMINAโs grounding system have addressed concerns about โdirty electricityโ by incorporating a diode that assures current can only travel in one direction, thus preventing any possible shocks. (Read more about this below.)
Rest assured, there is no electric current running through the pad, only the grounding connection.
Bio-magnets embedded within the pad deliver additional benefits by simulating the Earthโs magnetic field, further enhancing sleep quality. The soft wool acts as a dielectric, so you feel comfortable while receiving the benefits of grounding without the need for direct contact with the silver threads.
Grounding is Harmless: Contraindications and Exclusions
There no evidence to suggest that the use of this device could be detrimental. In medical terminology, there are no concrete contraindications to this medical device. As grounding the body can positively impact all of its systems, it is advisable for individuals to monitor their drug dosages. By doing so, one can optimize the effects of medication and promote overall well-being. In particular, study results have shown that the long-term effect of body grounding during sleep can have a mild blood-thinning effect. Likewise, body grounding can enhance thyroid function and blood sugar regulation.
For patients with electromedical implants (e.g., pacemakers) there is a version available without bio-magnets (Lokosanaโข Bio-Energy).
Highlight: Materials in the Grounding Pad
Aligning with the Natural World
Dr. Gรผnther Amann-Jennson, the founder of SAMINA, created Lokosana using an unconventional approach over 25 years ago. For better health benefits, he incorporated a thin layer of bio-active sheepโs wool, German bio-magnets, a layer of fabric interwoven with pure silver threads, and encased these layers inside of pure organic cotton. Itโs the high amount of silver in the composition of the pad that impacts the expense of this product.
Unlike other body grounding devices, Lokosana works throughย indirectย contact with your body meaning you donโt touch the silver fabric inside of the pad. Our bodies are conductors of electricity, so to be in direct contact with metal could cause electrical shock, which has been reported with other grounding products. The indirect contact method is, therefore, much safer.
Making Ours Special: Wool and Bio-Magnets
Sheep’s wool creates an incredibly soft layer that prevents stiffness while naturally wicking moisture away from your body.
The bio-magnets stabilize distorted electromagnetic fields especially common in urban living and help re-orient your body in alignment with the Earthโs magnetic bringing an antioxidant effect. The pad effectively has you sleeping in a head north โ feet south position regardless of the position of your bed for optimal healthy sleep.

Our Solution for "Dirty Electricity"
ย
Interruption in the flow of free electrons caused by erratic electrical currents is a concept called “dirty electricity.” Especially for those sensitive to electrical disturbances, the electro-hypersensitive (EHS), we offer a solution in an earth conductor choke.
This outlet connector boosts the grounding mat’s effectiveness by cancelling out undesirable electrical interference that’s common in urban areas. These interferences can be transferred to the body through a regular cable but ours blocks them out.ย
This special plug also provides protection against sudden power surges caused by events like lightning strikes.
Lokosanaโข Seat Cushion for Home and Office
Never before have human beings been exposed to so much electrosmog or electro-pollution and that is why SAMINA developed the Lokosanaโข grounding cushion as a daytime complement to the Lokosana sleeping and grounding pad. Like the night-time version, the daytime seat cushion is made of pure silver, organic cotton, Bio-Magnets, and encased in a blue cotton cover. It is designed to be placed on the seat of your office chair and should remain always plugged in.
The plug does not have any electric current; it is for grounding purposes only. Lokosanaโข then becomes a better conductor of electricity than your body due to the high content of pure silver it contains. This helps protect you from the direct exposure of EMFs in your environment from common items such as:
- PC (personal computer)
- Cell phone
- Wireless phone
- Notebook or tablet
- Bluetooth devices
- WiFi networks
- Wireless printers
- Cell phone towers
- Power grids (Notably of more concern in the USA and Canada as many European countries have restrictions on proximity of power grids to residential areas)
