Is your body sufficiently supplied with the most important vital substances? In order to find this out, an extended blood analysis is made from whole blood in our practice.

What am I lacking?

One focus in our practice is the counselling of people with states of exhaustion. Very often chronic fatigue, sleep disorders and resulting depressive moods are due to hormonal imbalances. This imbalance arises either from exhaustion in professional activities or age-related changes in hormones. Women in the menopause in particular experience this very intensely.

Regardless of the cause, the consequences of hormonal imbalances are often very similar: the time it takes to fall asleep becomes longer, the duration of sleep shorter, and due to the lack of regeneration, mood swings and daytime fatigue occur. If left untreated, such conditions often lead to "burn out". This is a state of complete inner emptiness. Conventionally, both menopausal symptoms and states of exhaustion are treated with antidepressant drugs. In our view, this does not address the cause. Through a comprehensive analysis of hormones, vitamins and minerals, such ailments can be treated where they originate: the deficiencies caused by exhaustion can be balanced and thus the way back to a healthy, joyful life can be prepared.

1. Hormones
   Hormones are the most important messengers in our body. Stress, the ageing process, menopause... all these factors influence the hormonal balance in our body. One thing is certain: without hormones there is no life. If, due to burnout situations or age-related changes, certain hormones drop to a fraction of the amounts measurable in a healthy adult, then performance and well-being are lost.An analysis of the lead hormones relentlessly reveals the deficits. This is the basis for initiating a replacement therapy with so-called bio-identical hormones. This procedure is possible for the thyroid gland, the hormones of the gonads and the adrenal glands. Through such a replacement therapy with the body's own substances, hormonal balance can be restored in a short time and normal performance can be achieved. .
2. Indicators of allergies and food intolerances, autoimmune diseases.
   These groups of diseases are very common and often difficult to treat. Ayurveda says that by regular detoxification, by sparing and strengthening the digestive tract, every allergy and intolerance can be cured. Before such therapy, an analysis of what kind of allergy and intolerance it is is of great advantage.
   Most of these diseases are related to the intestine becoming "leaky" (leaky gut) due to various stresses. This allows undigested substances to enter the body and irritate the immune system.Targeted tests can show which substances overcome the intestinal barrier and lead to disease. This diagnosis points the way to a sensible therapy.
   

   

3. Antibodies in (chronic) infections
   Every infection leaves traces in the immune system. Some infections leave chronic complaints such as depression, fatigue and exhaustion.Instead of treating such complaints with antidepressants as usual, a targeted stimulation of the power plants of the body's cells, the mitochondria, can lead to extensive regeneration.An analysis of antibodies against certain viral, bacterial or parasitic infections can point the way to a targeted therapy.

Summary

The branch of medicine that deals with the optimal composition of body fluids is called orthomolecular medicine. While Ayurvedic medicine is mainly suited to purify the mind-body system and to bring its functions into balance, it makes sense to use orthomolecular medicine where there are deficiencies in vital substances, messenger substances or hormones. Advanced laboratory diagnostics, in which the vital substances mentioned are analysed quantitatively, provide the basis for using them specifically to optimise all functions and organs. In this way, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, probiotics, bio-identical hormones can be prescribed specifically in the right dosage. When do you come to us to analyse your supply of vital substances?
