​ Moving into the 21st-century, studies show there is an increase in communicable diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular, autoimmune, and even cancer (Sinatra, Oshman, Chevalier, 2017). Indigenous ways of knowing and being offer lessons of the land that could help improve the health of humanity. The reciprocal relationship with Mother Earth and connecting with her is proven to improve your health, as science reveals “earths electronic charge is fundamental for maintaining health and promoting health” (Sinatra, Oshman, Chevalier, 2017, p. 10). This research is not new and was claimed by a German Medical Doctor, in the 1920s who reported patients sleeping better after being grounded to a copper wire connecting to the earth. Sokal and Sokal as referenced by Sinatra, Oshman, Chevalier, (2017) concluded that grounding the body to earth positively regulates the bioelectrical and biochemical processes within, and this normalizes the functions of the human body (Sinatra, Oshman, Chevalier, 2017). Other clinical results of grounding include reduced inflammation and pain, improved blood flow and reduced blood viscosity, reduced stress, improved energy, improved response to trauma and accelerated wound healing (Sinatra, Oshman, Chevalier, 2017). Indigenous ways of knowing and being could have many positive benefits to our physical and environmental health.
