Abstract of the presentation

The New Holistic Concept of Microbiome Therapy

Branch: Phytotherapy

Recording

In its origins, Microbiological Therapy, understood as a form of symbiosis control, was essentially a regulatory therapy. As knowledge advanced, its impulses on the immune system became increasingly evident. By the early 2000s, Microbiological Therapy had shifted toward substitutional therapy, primarily with lactobacilli. This coincided with a growing scientific fascination with the role of microbiota in health and disease, accompanied by a change in terminology. From that point, probiotics were seen as the supply of lactic acid bacteria within a mechanistic model of action.

In recent years, however, the picture has broadened. Signaling pathways and gene regulation of host gut epithelial cells are playing a more prominent role. The impact of phytotherapeutic remedies on the intestinal bacterial community has received increased attention. The influence of acupuncture and laser acupuncture on the microbiome has been demonstrated in several studies. Growing evidence has also emerged for the role of mindset techniques. Furthermore, a study with Okoubaka provided evidence that homeopathic stimuli can influence the microbiome. Another approach is the use of cyanobacteria, which, through their surface structures, can trigger modulating immune impulses.
