Salus Darm-Care
Do you rather consider yourself to be driven by your head or by your gut feeling? The former are said to have a rational and analytical personality. Those who are more likely to be guided by their feelings, on the other hand, are considered to be gut persons. But no matter if you make your decisions rationally or emotionally; Head and gut are closely connected. How noticeable this can be, show phrases such as ”Having butterflies in one's stomach“ or ”Having a dull gut feeling“. It is no coincidence that the traditional medicine of many cultures pays special attention to the digestive tract. In Indian Ayurveda there is the concept of ”Agni“ (Sanskrit for fire). With Agni, among other things, the digestion capabilities of humans is described. The term is synonymous with one's life force and is also referred to as inner fire or digestive fire. A weak inner flame leads to the fact that the human becomes powerless and discouraged. Only when the flame burns properly, you feel happy and vital.
In the Western world, many people assume that their well-being is primarily a matter of the mind. An example of this is the popularity of concepts such as ”positive thinking“. Meanwhile, science has discovered that the yogis and healers of past centuries were not so wrong. Our digestive tract is virtually the home of our immune system. The microbiome, colloquially also called ”intestinal flora“, houses about 40 trillion microorganisms. These are nonstop in use and make the microbiome the most densely populated ecosystem of all. In the small and large intestine, there are more than 70% of our immune cells. Nearly 80% of all defense reactions take place there as well. For some years now, the microbiome has been one of the most exciting research areas in medicine. Scientists repeatedly come across evidence that its condition plays an important role in the defense against many diseases and allergies. Also our weight and a more optimistic or melancholy predisposition could be influenced by the microbiome. Through the so-called vagus nerve, the microbes in the stomach have a direct connection to the brain. Information that is collected in the digestive tract, also gets from the vagus nerve into the limbic system, the part of our brain in which emotions are processed. Hence, our emotional state is actually determined by our guts.
In addition to the formation of the body's defense, the digestive tract, of course, also has to process food. And it is quite busy in doing so. A 75-year-old West European consumes about 80 tons of food during his lifetime. Of this amount, however, only about 30,000 kg is solid food. More than two thirds are taken in liquid form. The bowel draws vitamins, minerals and vital nutrients from the food, which are then available to the metabolism of the body. Hence, our gut is a true high performance organ. Irregular, too abundant or hastily swallowed meals complicate the work of the bowel. The same applies to stress, anxiety or nervousness. In addition, the digestive tract of each person reacts differently to different foods or alcohol. To support it in its complex work, Salus has developed the Darm-Care product line.
The Salus Darm-Care Curcuma Active Capsules support digestion with calcium, vitamin D3 and curcuma extract. The Darm-Care Herbal Tonic plus and the Darm-Care Curcuma Active Tonic support the bowel with the vegan special formulations of calcium, magnesium and vitamin D3. The specific combination of living cultures of lactic acid in the Darm-Care Biotic Irritable Bowel Powder settle on irritated intestinal mucous membranes and support the balance of the intestinal flora there. Salus Darm-Care products support the well-being from within.
