Multiknowledge: EM Ceramics - Practical Applications for Every Day
EM ceramics have antioxidant properties that can help you in your home and garden. You can use them to revitalise drinking and irrigation water, store food, improve the quality of pond and pool water and strengthen your plants. But how does it actually work? In this article, you will learn from Barbara Enengel what types of EM ceramics are available, how they work and how you can use them in your everyday life.

What is EM Ceramics?
EM Ceramics are made of high-quality clay that is fermented with Effective Microorganisms. This produces enzymes and antioxidants, similar to the fermentation of sauerkraut. In the next step, the ceramics are fired at very high temperatures (between 800°C and 1,300°C, depending on the type). The energy of the microorganisms is retained and a life-promoting resonance field is formed.

Effects of EM Ceramics
Reduces water clusters and surface tension
There is more energy between small water clusters, i.e. the associations of water molecules, than between large water clusters. This results in a lower surface tension, which in turn makes the water feel softer. This facilitates the absorption of water in the cells and the removal of metabolic products.
Changes the crystalline structure of water
Revitalised water has a lower density and significantly more tightly bound hydrogen bonds than non-revitalised water. One advantage of this transformation is that, although lime does not disappear during cooking, it does become finer and does not adhere to surfaces as strongly. As a result, limescale-related impurities are easier to remove.
Inhibits oxidative processes
Oxidation means cell ageing due to contact with oxygen (e.g. rust or brown cut surface on an apple). EM Ceramics forms a probiotic, life-promoting resonance field that inhibits these processes.
Fields of application
Drinking water
Revitalise both your drinking water and that of your four-legged friends with EM Ceramics. Use the EM Ceramics Drinking Ring for this purpose. This is sufficient for up to 2 litres of water. Simply place it in the carafe or drinking bowl. The ring can also be used in the coffee machine or kettle.
Bathroom
In the bath and toilet cistern, a piece of EM Ceramics 35-mm-Pipe or the large EM Ceramics Universal Ring can soften the water, making it easier to remove limescale from the tub and toilet.
Laundry
The EM Ceramic Washing Ball is placed directly into the washing machine drum with the laundry. With normal everyday clothing without heavy soiling, the reduced surface tension means that detergents and fabric softeners can be dispensed with completely. Temperatures of 30°-40°C are perfectly sufficient. For heavily soiled laundry, the amount of detergent can be significantly reduced – ideal for sensitive skin. This is how you save on detergent, water, electricity and money: the washing ball has a lifespan of about 1000 washes.

Storing fruit and vegetables
In the storage cellar, EM Ceramic Pipes between the fruits extend the shelf life of the fruit. In the soil storage, mix sand with EM ceramic powder for better storage life of carrots, for example.
How to fill a sandbox for storing root vegetables and cabbage family crops:
- Harvest your vegetables before the first frost, but remove only coarse dirt.
- Mix damp sand with EM ceramic powder. Use one tablespoon of EM ceramic powder per kilogram of sand.
- Put a layer of sand in the box and then arrange the vegetables in layers. Make sure to cover each layer sufficiently with sand. The carrots should not touch each other! The moist sand keeps them crisp and the EM ceramic powder prevents mould formation.
- It is best to store this storage box in a dark and cold cellar or garage.
Watering water
In rain barrels, EM Ceramics extends the shelf life of water. It suppresses oxidative processes and thus ensures that the water in the barrel does not start to smell. The water is activated and the plants can absorb it better. For a rain barrel, a piece of 35-mm pipe or a universal ring (up to 200 litres) is sufficient, which is hung in the water. Simply put a handful of grey pipes into the watering can. Thread the pipes onto a fishing line and tie a knot after each bead.
Sowing and planting
EM Ceramic Powder is used as a soil activator, has a stabilising and antioxidant effect. It promotes soil life and offers your seedlings an ideal start in the soil: sprinkle the root ball thinly with EM ceramic powder. You can also use it to treat your seeds to give them a good head start when germinating. To do this, add a knife tip of EM ceramic powder to the bag of seeds, shake it and only then use the seeds for sowing.
Swimming pool
EM Ceramics improves the water quality in pools, reduces the aggressive effect of chlorine and the amount of chlorine used can even be reduced. We recommend the use of one bag of EM Ceramics grey pipes and one packet (= 2 pieces) of EM Ceramics 35-mm pipes per cubic metre.
Painting walls
If you want to give your four walls a new coat of paint, remember to mix EM Ceramic Powder Amron A with the paint next time. The powder absorbs chemical substances in the paint and thus prevents their outgassing. Add 2% Amron A ceramic powder and 0.5% EM Clear Active to the amount of paint used. The powder works without changing the colour tone.
For polluted water
The EM Pink Pipes absorb harmful substances and can be used for cut flowers, irrigation water and for odour control.
In the aquarium
EM Red Pipes bind ammonium nitrogen and thus reduce algae growth in aquariums and ponds. One bag of Pipes is sufficient for 100 L of water. After one year of use, the Pipes can be composted.

EM Ceramics have an impressive range of positive effects in the home and garden. They can significantly increase sustainability in everyday life by improving water quality, neutralising odours and extending the shelf life of food supplies. They help to optimise natural processes and create environmentally friendly alternatives for everyday life.

Wild harvest in autumn
Autumn is a wonderful time to explore nature and to take advantage of the healing powers of plants. As nature prepares for winter, the plants draw their strength back into the seeds, fruits and ultimately the roots. Like nature, we too can prepare for the colder time of year. By collecting, processing and enjoying them, we can recharge our batteries and find peace. In this article, we will show you which plants can be collected in autumn and how to process them.
