What is migraine?

Migraine is a common, chronic brain disorder characterized by recurring, often severe headache attacks. Unlike ordinary tension headaches, migraines are often accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, sensitivity to light and sound, and sometimes visual or physical warning signs, known as aura. The exact cause of migraine is not yet fully understood, but it is believed to be a combination of genetic predisposition, hormonal fluctuations, impaired processing of stimuli in the brain, and influencing lifestyle factors. Known triggers include stress, lack of sleep, bright light, strong smells, and certain foods such as alcohol, chocolate, and mature cheese.

Common symptoms of migraine

The symptoms of migraine can vary from person to person and from attack to attack, but the most common symptoms are:

• Severe, throbbing headache, often on one side of the head

• Nausea and sometimes vomiting

• Sensitivity to light, sound, and smells

• Reduced ability to concentrate during an attack

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), autumn is the season of reaping, letting go and turning inward. As nature retreats and leaves fall, this season invites us to find balance, strengthen our immune system and clean up emotionally. Lungs, colon, skin and hair are in extra focus during this time. Discover in this blog how to use the wisdom of TCM as well as practical tips from the Western tradition to support your health, so that you can enter the dark months full of vitality.

The energy of autumn according to TCM

As the days grow shorter and the air feels fresher, autumn announces itself gently but unmistakably. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this is the season when energy turns inward and we prepare for the calm of winter. In TCM, autumn is associated with the element Metal, which represents clarity, structure and the ability to let go of what no longer serves us. Just as trees drop their leaves, we are invited to leave ballast behind and focus on what nourishes and protects

Iodine is an important trace element for your body, especially for your thyroid gland. However, some people may be consuming less iodine than they think — for example, due to a changing diet or avoiding iodized salt. In this blog, you can read about what iodine does exactly, who may benefit from extra intake, and when a supplement, such as the Hulda Clark iodine solution, may be worth considering.

Why iodine is important

Iodine is an essential trace element that your body needs for normal thyroid function, energy levels, and the nervous system. Iodine also contributes to normal cognitive function and the maintenance of healthy skin. Although we generally got enough iodine in the Netherlands for years through iodized baker's salt in bread, some population groups may now be deficient in iodine. This is due to changing eating habits: people are eating less bread, avoiding dairy products, or choosing non-iodized salts such as Himalayan salt. As a result, some groups of people are at greater

Welcome to this blog about algae. Algae are single-celled or multi-celled organisms that thrive in a variety of aquatic environments, from lakes to oceans. Although often overlooked, algae are one of the oldest life forms on Earth and contain a wealth of nutrients. There are many types of algae, including Spirulina and Chlorella, two of the most studied and prized algae for their nutritional density and health benefits. Let's take a deep dive into the world of algae and discover why we consider them superfoods.

Our heart is a powerful organ that works day and night. Without us even noticing, it beats an average of 100,000 times a day. No wonder heart health is getting more and more attention—especially in a time when stress, diet, and lifestyle are often out of balance. One of the most researched natural substances that seem to have a positive effect on the heart are omega-3 fatty acids. But what exactly does omega-3 do for the heart? In this blog, we delve into the role of omega-3 in heart health, discuss scientific research, and provide tips on how to supplement these essential fatty acids in a responsible manner—for example, with high-quality supplements such as Norsan omega-3 fish oil, liver oil, or algae oil.

The differences between female and male bodies are enormous. Yet medical science has ignored this for decades. Almost all medicines, dosages, and treatment methods have been tested on men—and women pay the price for this. But how is this possible? And why are the differences between men and women so great?

The female body: different, more complex, and often ignored

Medical science has long acted as if the male body is the standard. In clinical studies, drug trials, and even in medical training, the body of the healthy, young man was taken as the starting point. The female body—with fluctuating hormones, a different metabolism, and unique biological processes—was seen as “difficult,” “complex,” or simply not taken into account.

Only in recent years has awareness grown that these differences are not only biologically logical, but also medically crucial.

How big are the differences between men and women really?

Hyaluronic acid is a body's own substance that plays a key role in retaining moisture, keeping joints supple and supporting healthy, full skin.

As soon as summer arrives, we flock outside. The sun gives us energy, warms our bodies, improves our mood and is essential for the production of vitamin D. Sunlight is thus indispensable for our health and well-being. At the same time, exposure to sunlight comes with risks that we should not underestimate - especially because of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation associated with it. UV radiation is invisible, but it has a measurable, harmful impact on our skin, eyes and overall health. Again, it's all about balance. In this blog, you'll read what exactly UV radiation is, its effects on our bodies and how to protect yourself naturally and consciously.

Sunlight as a natural force: benefits for body and mind

Sunlight plays an essential role in various bodily processes. One of its best-known benefits is the production of vitamin D, a fat-soluble vitamin involved in calcium absorption, bone building, the immune system and muscle function. Although you can also get vitamin D through food or supplements,
