The appendix – an unnecessary organ or indispensable?
The appendix is one of those organs that is often considered superfluous. Many people believe that it has no important function and only needs to be removed if it becomes inflamed. But this view is outdated. Recent research shows that the appendix plays an important role in the immune system and ensures healthy intestinal flora. The question therefore arises: is it really advisable to simply remove it as a precaution or in the event of inflammation?
Mitochondria – our indispensable energy power plants!
Mitochondria - you've probably never really heard of them, have you? Some of you may remember the term from your biology lessons at school. Mitochondria are the ultimate power plants in our body cells. Without them, virtually nothing in the body works, because they produce our energy!
Heart rate variability measurement (HRV)
The heart rate variability measurement shows us how well our autonomic nervous system is set up. Roughly speaking, our autonomic nervous system consists of two parts - the sympathetic nervous system (tension) and the parasympathetic nervous system (relaxation). The autonomic nervous system can be seen as a higher-level control center that uses nerves to control and regulate processes and functions in the body - more precisely: our organs and organ systems - and at best keeps them in a certain balance.
The autonomic nervous system
The autonomic nervous system is one of the two systems that the body uses for communication between organs. The second system - the hormonal system (endocrine system), communicates, as the name suggests, via hormones, while the autonomic nervous system communicates via nerves. It is also referred to as the autonomic nervous system because it acts and reacts involuntarily, i.e. it is not subject to our will, but acts independently, quasi unconsciously for us and can hardly be consciously influenced by us.

Aloe vera – hype or real help? Why so many people swear by it.
Hardly any other plant is as ubiquitous in pharmacies, drugstores and naturopathic practices as aloe vera. It adorns windowsills, is found in hair care products, nutritional supplements and wound creams - and is often stylized as an all-purpose miracle plant. But what is really behind this fleshy desert plant with its prickly leaves? This article takes you on a journey through the gut, skin and immune system - and also touches on the psychosomatic space that this plant can symbolically touch.
Silent Inflammation – why you constantly feel “not quite fit”
You are tired - not just tired as you would be after a long day, but really exhausted. Deeply exhausted. You sleep, but you don't recover. You eat reasonably healthy, but your body feels heavy. Your thoughts seem to be wrapped in absorbent cotton, your mood fluctuates, and sometimes you wonder whether you're just too sensitive - or whether there might be something wrong.the answer is often: yes, there is something wrong. And the name of this "something" is Silent Inflammation.
Squeezed into the norm?! – Why the normal range of blood values deserves to be questioned
There is a sentence that many people take home with them after a visit to the doctor: "Your blood values are within the normal range." And that often means: all clear. Everything is fine. But what exactly is this normal range for blood values - and whose norm is it actually? The answer is less clear than we would like it to be. Behind every reference value is a story of statistics, conventions and sometimes tangible conflicts of interest. Anyone who knows this story begins to read laboratory values with completely different eyes.
Protein and female strength – why women need more protein than they think
There is a widespread misconception that persists: Protein is for men, for muscles, for weight training. The implicit assumption is that women can get by with very little. But this image is not only outdated - it is actively detrimental to health. Because protein is much more than just muscle food. It is the foundation on which your entire body is built: your hormones, your skin, your immune system, your mood, your energy. And women in particular have a particularly high, often underestimated need.
Spring and what it sets in motion within you! What do you really want to sow this spring?
Early spring. The days are getting longer, the air warmer, somewhere the first yellow forsythia is already blooming. And almost everyone feels it - that quiet tingling, that desire to throw open the windows, clear away the heavy winter blankets, start afresh. But what if this impulse goes much deeper than we think? What if spring doesn't just start outside, but also inside you - in your body, in your soul, in your life energy?
Water as a health booster: what regular drinking can do
Water is the oldest remedy in the world - and at the same time the most underestimated. Before we talk about dietary supplements, therapies or complex healing methods: Are we drinking enough? This one question can change more than we realize.
Psyllium husks and their effect on the intestines, cholesterol and blood sugar
There are things that seem inconspicuous at first glance - but change everything at second glance. Psyllium husks are one of them. The small, beige-colored husks of the seeds of the Plantago ovata plant have been known in naturopathy for centuries. And yet they are still underestimated in everyday life. Yet they could be a simple, gentle and effective tool for many people - especially those who look after their own health on a daily basis.
