The clitoris is one of the most overlooked organs in the human body. Yet all little girls discover it very early — sometimes even before birth, during intra-uterine life. It is a hidden organ, long taboo, rarely discussed. Once silenced and shameful, it is fortunately gaining ground in public discourse. It is time to give it its due. An organ present before birth The female foetus begins developing its clitoris as early as the eighth week of pregnancy. Observational stud

When science rediscovers the intelligence of the female body… Let's be honest: female anatomy has long been a great mystery to medicine. Anatomical descriptions of the clitoris existed long before 1998 — most notably the remarkable work of anatomist Georg Ludwig Kobelt in 1844. Australian urologist Helen O'Connell had to restore this knowledge in 1998 using modern imaging techniques. Decades of medical silence had erased what science already knew. Yes. 1998. The year of the W

There is an adage in the world of fasting: Anyone can stop eating — but only the wise know how to refeed properly. Refeeding is arguably the most crucial step of a fast. And yet, it is often the one we talk about the least. Why is refeeding so important? During the fast, the body has been working deeply. It has cleansed, regenerated, eliminated. The digestive system has rested. Digestive enzymes have slowed down. The mucous membranes have calmed. Restarting too fast, too hard

Hygienic naturopathy places rest at the heart of the fasting protocol. Not for comfort — for effectiveness. Here's why. Fasting and hiking: a popular trend… but incompatible with the hygienic approach In Europe, "fasting and hiking" has become almost synonymous with fasting retreats.

It's one of the most Googled questions by breastfeeding mothers. And the short answer is: yes — and it's actually an excellent choice. Fresh pineapple — can you eat pineapple while breastfeeding? Why Does This Question Come Up So Often? Pineapple is acidic. Baby has colic. The connection is quickly made. Yet there is no established link between a mother's pineapple consumption and colic in her baby. Paediatrician Carlos Gonzalez points this out in his books: if we look at wha

Today, menopause is talked about as though it were a disease! In reality, it is a transition, a life stage that unfolds over several years and gradually brings hormonal changes. These hormonal changes lead the female body to, among other things, the end of fertility. A phenomenon similar to menopause exists in men — it is called andropause. It is entirely possible to go through menopause without unpleasant symptoms and to fully embrace this stage of life. The Different Stages

Fasting — voluntarily abstaining from food — sounds like a strange idea, doesn't it? Fasting Fasting is a simple and effective method for regenerating and cleansing the body. Used throughout history by humans and animals alike in times of illness or injury, it activates the body's natural self-healing capacities.

There are moments in life when you feel your body has had enough. Enough of carrying, absorbing, running on empty.

Fasting is exactly that. It 's not a Silicon Valley trend. It's not a punishment. It is a natural, physiological process that humans and animals have always practised in times of ill
