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
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 -
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,
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
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,
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
In the morning on an empty stomach - about 15 to 30 minutes before breakfast - is ideal. A second glass in the morning or early afternoon is also a good idea. It should be avoided in the evening just before going to bed, as lemon water stimulates the liver and gall bladder and this
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.
Yes, stomach pain often originates in the intestines. Impaired intestinal flora or an unbalanced intestinal environment in particular can stimulate the stomach to produce more acid. This happens, for example, when the intestines become too alkaline due to an unfavorable diet, stress or antibiotics. The body reacts by trying to restore the balance via the stomach. Poorly chewed or hard-to-digest food can also lead to problems in the stomach and later in the intestines. Intestinal cleansing, strengthening the intestinal mucosa and promoting healthy bacteria can help to alleviate both intestinal and stomach pain.
Stomach acid plays a central role in the digestive system. It ensures that pathogens are killed, proteins are pre-digested in the stomach and important nutrients such as iron and vitamin B12 can be processed correctly. However, too much acid can lead to symptoms such as heartburn, irritation of the stomach lining or stomach ulcers. At the same time, too little acid production - i.e. low acidity - is often overlooked, although it can also cause stomach pain, bloating and nutritional deficiencies. Balanced stomach acid production is therefore crucial for healthy digestion and the prevention of stomach problems.
