Microbiome Therapy
Microbiome Therapy refers to treatments that aim to restore or enhance the balance of microorganisms in the human body, particularly in the gut. The human microbiome consists of trillions of bacteria, viruses, and fungi that play a crucial role in digestion, immunity, and overall health. Disruptions in this balance can lead to various health issues, including irritable bowel syndrome and obesity.
One common approach in Microbiome Therapy is the use of probiotics, which are live beneficial bacteria that can help improve gut health. Another method is fecal microbiota transplantation, where healthy gut bacteria from a donor are transferred to a patient to restore microbial balance. These therapies are being researched for their potential to treat a range of conditions.
