The intestine is the human mood barometer.

The origin of a person’s well-being lies in the center of the body, so the intestines have a great influence on the mood. Thus, the cause of intestinal problems is often a disturbed communication within thinking and feeling. It is no coincidence that chronic silent people also suffer from chronic intestinal diseases.

A stressed soul produces a stressed colon. From a psychosomatic point of view, the triggers can be psychological illnesses such as anxiety, panic attacks, signal disturbances between brain and nerves or constant irritation both inside and outside. As a result, cramp-like pain (every cramp says no to a feeling), bloating, constipation (feelings are not in flow), diarrhoea (feelings cannot hold) or a feeling of pressure in the abdominal cavity can occur.
This situation leads to increased tension. As a result, hormones are released which act on the peristalsis of the intestine via the vegetative nervous system. Through fear, excitement or stress, hormones are initially released which trigger a reduction of the digestive process by inhibiting the gastrointestinal activity in order to save energy and to adjust the body completely to fight or flee reactions in the short term.
Among other things, they constrict the smaller arteries of the stomach mucosa, which in the long term can then lead to mucous membrane damage and subsequently to ulceration. To compensate, a little later the increased so-called parasympathetic activity follows with increased gastrointestinal activity.
