In my childhood, as soon as a cold was coming on, we always had chicken soup. It was simmered on the cooker for a long time, then topped with alphabet noodles and decorated with a little parsley. I remember that I didn’t always do a dance of joy when it was on the menu, but I did spoon it up. In my student days, I …

In the past, I often observed that I did not feel connected to my body in case of illness, but thought „the pill or the doctor will take care of it!“ So I trusted in external factors from which I expected healing. At the same time, in my role as a doctor, I sometimes had the feeling during patient contacts that some of them would …

Waffles are an absolute childhood memory for me. They were usually served in the afternoons during the cool season when friends were visiting. Then we all sat around the table and waited with anticipation and impatience for the next finished waffle. What could be better than the smell of freshly baked waffles?

I hope you all had a good start to the new year! We celebrated with the family in a small group. And since a birthday also fell during the holidays, I would like to share with you today the birthday cake recipe for a simple rustic apple pie with almond crust. I love apple pie! I also actually love any pastry that involves apples in …

I haven’t dared to do it myself yet, but I’m determined to carry on this tradition in my family in the future. What I have contributed, however, is …

Do you know them too? The people who think about Christmas all year round and buy a present at every opportunity and then have them all together in the summer. They must be really bored before Christmas ;). I belong to the opposite group and usually think about what I want to give to whom about 3 days before. Don’t get me wrong, I love …

Winter is known to be cold season. In the cold air, or even in dry heating air, the nasal mucosa is less supplied with blood and the defence cells work more slowly. Rhinoviruses, the most common cause of the classic common cold, defy low temperatures without any problems (1). Light and vitamin D deficiency also weaken the immune system. Despite the best precautions, everyone catches …

Who of you women out there knows them too? The abdominal pain during your period that is so severe that you want to stay in bed all day with a hot water bottle and resort to painkillers due to the lack of effective alternatives? Then you are not alone. Depending on the literature, up to 80% of women of childbearing age experience period pains. Of …

Admittedly, as I sit here writing this post, I am longing to be on holiday with friends and family in the south, eating fresh pasta with tomatoes and listening to the sound of the sea.
