Caffeine is a substance that stimulates the nervous system and ensures that our body can run at full speed without increasing physical activity. Blood pressure rises and heart rate also increases.

It is common knowledge that the substances ingested by the expectant or breastfeeding mother are also passed on to the baby. Accordingly, in many cases the advice is followed and the consumption of coffee, green and black tea, cola etc. is severely restricted or even stopped altogether.

Calcium is the main building block of our bones and teeth and is therefore particularly important during pregnancy. The developing baby obtains its calcium requirement from the mother's blood; if the mother does not have an adequate supply of calcium, it extracts the calcium from the mother's bones instead.

Homeopathy has grown in popularity in recent years, and while it will not displace classical medicine, people increasingly prefer homeopathic treatments for certain conditions.

The term homeopathy comes from the Greek and translated means something like: Similar things are cured with similar things. This rule is considered the basis of the homeopathic approach. In medical Latin it is now called Simila similabus curentur.

Knowledge of the reflections in a person's body has expanded over the years and the classic body parts have been joined by the nose, ears and back.

Reflex zones in the body are places that are connected to another place in the body in such a way that stimulation, e.g. in the form of massage, can stimulate these places and bring about a healing process.

Iodine is essential for our organism and especially for the thyroid gland, which is located slightly below our larynx. The thyroid gland needs iodine as a building block for a hormone it produces, the thyroid hormone.

This, in turn, is essential in the growth of the baby in the womb because it helps to develop the brain, build the bones and make the baby grow.

Even small children already know that the earth is controlled by magnetic fields, because it is explained to them early on why we can stand on the earth without falling off, even though it is round. What leads to fascination in children has become a hardly surprising fact in adults, and yet we seem not to have understood so far that we too are guided and influenced by magnetic fields, and even receive some of our energies from them.

We are all familiar with mould, which particularly likes to spread in and on food, but can also infest wood, walls and furniture, in short almost everything, and especially things of organic origin, that are in a warm, humid environment with high humidity.

Mould in the living area can be prevented above all by ventilating extensively, especially when condensation occurs due to heating, e.g. on windows or behind furniture. Bathrooms and kitchens in particular have the best conditions for mould infestation due to water vapour.

Many parents doubt whether the many vaccinations their children receive from infancy onwards are really necessary and sensible. Parents who decide against certain vaccinations assume that the chances of contracting a certain disease are low, that the disease is more harmless than the vaccination itself, or that they are not well enough informed to take care of sufficient vaccination protection.
