Vitamin A Deficiency

Vitamin A is the vitamin of seeing — not only in the biological sense. It protects your eyes, your skin, your mucous membranes. It strengthens your immune system. When your body cannot absorb or process enough of it, your defences weaken, your vision grows cloudier, your skin loses its protection.

But why would a body that receives enough still not absorb enough? The psychosomatic perspective asks an uncomfortable question: what if your body is mirroring what is happening on a deeper level — that you no longer see who you truly are? That you have lost access to your own strength? That you are functioning, but running on empty inside?

Vitamin A deficiency is more than a nutritional shortfall. It is a signal that you have drifted away from yourself — so far that even your body is losing its bearings.
