A young model of research in medicine is scientific evidence to psychic impulses in the organic system of the people. With the recognition that there is simply no physical cause for some complaints, grew the interest in the psychological causes. A private medical research branch has resulting in the meantime, the psycho-neuro Immunology (PNI). The PNI combines soul (psycho), nervous system (neural) and the body’s defences (Immunology). Psycho-neuro immunological research findings document, that these three systems in a close exchange of information with each other. This biochemical network is the experimental basis, to explore how the behaviour affects the immune system. Common sense, the philosophy, and many religions have always knew: between body, mind and soul are there diverse relationships. Even Aesculapius, the Greek God of healing, and mythical ancestor of all doctors to music, sleep and prayer recommended people have the health of the mind / soul to promote and hence the body to do something good.
Everyone knows these relationships from the own life: too much trouble, stress, grief and pits armed scratch it in the neck, the nose runs or is annoying cold sore on the mouth make it. In hospitals, it can be shown that patients, who receive much of the visit and encouragement, healthy usually faster than lonely patients. Everything goes around”in the job and in their personal lives, we keep a clear head even though all around everything under the current wave of influenza moans. But this everyday knowledge has long been regarded as unscientific and found only in a few circles of physician input into daily practice. The natural medicine treatment approaches were quickly into the esoteric corner and ridiculed by the Western allopathic medicine. That has changed now. The new research field of psycho Neuroimmunology (PNI), where doctors and scientists of different disciplines work together, has created new conditions in recent years.
