Detoxification

Toxins, exhaust fumes, environmental pollutants – the body is exposed to strain in many ways, and this impairs the way the metabolism works and can lead to a range of symptoms. Cleansing programmes may help to excrete harmful substances and so take the load off the body. That holds potential for a good deal of newly released energy and self-healing capacity.

Understanding Stress in the Body

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress

Oxidative stress occurs when there are more so-called free radicals (reactive oxygen species) in the body than can be neutralized by antioxidants. These free radicals attack cells, proteins, and even DNA, which can lead to inflammation, cell damage, and an accelerated aging process. Common causes include environmental toxins, an unhealthy diet, chronic stress, smoking, and air pollution.

Nitrosative Stress

Nitrosative Stress

Nitrosative stress is a specific form of oxidative stress. In this process, reactive nitrogen compounds (such as peroxynitrite) primarily cause damage to the body. This stress can impair nerve cells, mitochondria, and enzymes, and is associated with chronic diseases such as migraines, burnout, depression, or neurodegenerative diseases.

A melatonin deficiency

A melatonin deficiency

A melatonin deficiency has a negative impact on the body's regeneration. Melatonin is not only the "sleep hormone" but also a powerful endogenous antioxidant. It protects cells from oxidative and nitrosative stress, supports nocturnal cell repair, and strengthens the immune system. A deficiency leads to poorer sleep, reduced cell regeneration, and a higher risk of chronic diseases.
