Are iron infusions useful?

By |2026-03-11T20:15:02+01:00March 11th, 2026|, , |

It depends on the situation - but I take a fundamentally critical view of them. An infusion leaves the body no choice: it cannot regulate, cannot dose, cannot decide whether and how much it wants to absorb. The iron is simply introduced - whether the body and psyche are ready or not. If the psychological

What does copper have to do with my iron levels?

By |2026-03-11T20:13:42+01:00March 11th, 2026|, , , , |

Copper plays a key role in converting iron into its active form, mobilizing it from the stores and incorporating it into the red blood cells. An iron deficiency that does not improve despite sufficient intake often has a silent copper deficiency in the background. In the world of planetary associations, copper belongs to Venus -

Can there be a psychological cause behind a low iron level?

By |2026-03-11T20:12:26+01:00March 11th, 2026|, , , , |

Yes - and in my view this is often the decisive factor. Iron symbolically and psychosomatically stands for stability, inner strength and vitality. Ferritin stands for your own reserves and the permission to keep something for yourself. Transferrin stands for the ability to enter into and accept relationships. If these issues are not considered psychologically,

What is the difference between iron, ferritin and transferrin – and why do all three need to be considered?

By |2026-03-11T20:11:01+01:00March 11th, 2026|, , , , , |

Iron shows how much active iron is currently available in the blood. Ferritin shows how well the iron stores are filled - i.e. whether reserves are still available. Transferrin is the transport protein that moves iron through the body and makes it usable. Only the interaction of all three values - supplemented by the transferrin

Why is it not enough to simply take iron supplements when iron levels are low?

By |2026-03-11T20:07:34+01:00March 11th, 2026|, , , |

Because a low iron level is rarely an isolated problem. It is often caused by blood loss, inflammation, intestinal absorption problems or a lack of important cofactors such as vitamin C or copper. Anyone who simply supplements iron without knowing the actual cause is treating a symptom - not the cause. And in my experience,

Is lemon water suitable for everyone?

By |2026-03-11T20:04:15+01:00March 11th, 2026|, , , , , , , , |

No - and this is definitely not bad news. People who tend to get cold, often have cold hands and feet or suffer from low blood pressure should be more careful, as lemon water has a cooling effect from a TCM perspective. The basic rule is to feel, observe and listen to your own body

How can I detoxify and support my liver in a natural way?

By |2025-03-26T07:54:58+01:00March 26th, 2025|, , |

The liver can be supported in a natural way with simple measures. These include a liver-friendly diet with bitter substances (e.g. artichoke, dandelion), avoiding alcohol and highly processed foods and taking medicinal plants such as milk thistle or dandelion root. Natural detoxification aids such as zeolite and bentonite also bind harmful substances in the intestines and relieve the liver. Liver compresses, sufficient sleep and stress reduction through exercise or meditation are other effective ways to naturally strengthen the liver and promote its regeneration.

What functions does the liver have in the human body?

By |2025-03-26T07:55:03+01:00March 26th, 2025|, , |

The liver fulfills over 500 vital functions in the human body. Its main tasks are the detoxification of harmful substances, the storage of vitamins and nutrients and the production of bile for fat digestion. It regulates blood sugar levels, produces important blood proteins and breaks down hormones. As a central metabolic organ, it filters around 2,000 liters of blood every day. A healthy liver is therefore essential for the entire organism. If you want to support your liver naturally, you should pay attention to diet, exercise and stress reduction.

What helps naturally against stomach pain in the long term?

By |2025-03-26T07:55:05+01:00March 26th, 2025|, , , |

A holistic approach to digestion is effective against stomach pain in the long term. This includes a balanced diet, thorough chewing, stress reduction and a conscious approach to stimulants such as coffee and alcohol. It is also particularly important to maintain the intestinal flora with probiotic foods or targeted intestinal cleansing. Naturopathic measures such as bitter substances, herbal stomach remedies or an alkaline-rich diet can also have a supportive effect. Instead of suppressing symptoms with acid blockers, the cause should be identified and treated sustainably - for healthy digestion and a permanently symptom-free stomach.
