Your Body Is Speaking
You are tired. Not the tiredness after a long day — a tiredness that is already there when you wake up. Your skin is pale, your hair is thinning, your nails are breaking. You feel cold even when it's warm. You have dizziness, difficulty concentrating, sometimes the feeling that your body simply doesn't have enough substance to get through the day.
Medically, the matter is clear: iron is a key element for oxygen transport in the blood. When it is lacking, your tissues receive too little oxygen. Everything slows down. Everything becomes heavier. But the psychosomatic perspective raises a different question: why does your body not absorb this vital element sufficiently — or why does it consume it faster than it should? What is happening in your inner system that leads to your life force literally running out?
