A weakened immune system makes one more susceptible to colds. One must thus strengthen the immune system. What does that mean? The immune system in the body is a complex network which, using a sophisticated defense system, wards off the majority of all infections and many other attacks on one's health. One part of this complex defense mechanism are the white blood cells called leukocytes. These are found in almost the entire body and, in case of infection or other attacks on health, are controlled by information proteins or messengers. Prerequisite for a well-functioning immune defense is a healthy lifestyle, of which a healthy and balanced diet are just as much a part as exercise and adequate sleep. Those with a good immune system, are less at risk of catching a cold. However, a well-functioning microcirculation also plays a important role in the strengthening of the immune system. What is meant here is the circulation of the smallest vessels, the so-called capillaries, as well as the portions shortly before and shortly after these vessels. An improved blood flow within the microcirculation leads to improved working conditions for the white blood cells. These take, to a certain extent, the role of a "blood police" in the body and protect it from infection, among others things. In addition, they are responsible for rendering pathogens or substances that are incompatible with the organism harmless, i.e. viruses, bacteria, cancer cells, toxins, fungi, worms and exogenous particles. Thus, a working blood flow in the microcirculation is not only a decisive factor for general health, but also helps the white blood cells keep fulfill their vital functions within the immune system. To harden one's immune system, one can toughen up with various methods. Examples are contrast showers, hydrotherapy treatments or saunas. This has a positive effect on circulatory control, and the circulation of the skin and organs is improved. This way more immune cells get to the mucous membranes of the nose and throat, which are very often attacked by cold pathogens. To strengthen the immune system, it can also be very helpful to stimulate the circulation effectively through specific physical impulses. Considerable success is attributed to BEMER Physical Vascular Therapy in this area. The core of this vascular therapy consists of a multi-dimensional signal structure, by which a restricted or impaired microcirculation is stimulated effectively. Thereby, the main physical control mec
