Vortrag: Wenn Stress sichtbar wird: Was Haar und Haarwurzel über unsere Psyche verraten

Hair is much more than just a surface - it is a sensitive indicator of health. In a highly active mini-organ, each individual hair is formed in alternating phases of growth and rest. It is connected to the brain via nerve fibers and stress directly influences its growth. At the same time, it stores stress messengers and thus preserves traces of past stress. The lecture shows how closely hair, the nervous system and health are connected.

Prof. Eva Peters heads the Psychoneuroimmunology Laboratory at the Department of Psychosomatics at Justus Liebig University Giessen and also works at the Charité University Medical Center in Berlin. She is a double specialist in dermatology and psychosomatics, a certified psycho-oncologist and a neurodermatitis and urticaria trainer. She also works as a depth psychologist and systemic psychotherapist.
