The vagus nerve, the longest nerve of the autonomic nervous system, plays a key role in communication between the brain and the gut (Dinan and Cryan, 2017). This &#8220;wandering nerve&#8221; runs from the brain stem deep into the abdominal cavity and forms a bidirectional connection between the central nervous system and the gastrointestinal tract.\nThis nerve regulates various bodily functions, including digestion, inflammatory responses and mood. This is why this bidirectional communication is so important to our general well-being. If the vagus nerve is not functioning properly, it can lead to a disruption of the gut-brain axis and ultimately chronic health problems (Breit et al., 2018). By stimulating the vagus nerve, such as through deep breathing, meditation or humming, we can promote our gut health and overall well-being.     \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f219263 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6f219263\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-192354f3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"192354f3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"505\" height=\"357\" src=\"https:\/\/waterandlight.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/brainwaves-2-e1740066423832.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-2323\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/waterandlight.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/brainwaves-2-e1740066423832.webp 505w, https:\/\/waterandlight.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/brainwaves-2-e1740066423832-300x212.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 505px) 100vw, 505px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-613603ca e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"613603ca\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-68b88468 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"68b88468\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1cfbd0dc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1cfbd0dc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>The effects of a disrupted microbiome on gut health<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b679722 elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2b679722\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIt has long been known that an imbalanced gut flora can lead to various health problems.

These bacteria play a crucial role for our gut health and overall well-being (Marchesi et al., 2016). <br>Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid produced by these bacteria. It not only serves as fuel for intestinal cells, but also has anti-inflammatory properties and can strengthen the intestinal barrier. Moreover, butyrate stimulates the production of serotonin, which has a positive effect on our mood and cognitive functions. Not surprisingly, people deficient in these bacteria often suffer from depressive symptoms.<br\/>It is therefore of great importance to promote the growth of butyrate-producing bacteria in our microbiome. One way to achieve this is through a high-fiber diet, probiotics and a healthy lifestyle. In addition, butter naturally provides this valuable fatty acid.     <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c306507 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c306507\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0665ee7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0665ee7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"544\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/waterandlight.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/human_body_with_gut_and_simple_bacteria_in_microbiome_1-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2458\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/waterandlight.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/human_body_with_gut_and_simple_bacteria_in_microbiome_1-1.jpg 544w, https:\/\/waterandlight.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/human_body_with_gut_and_simple_bacteria_in_microbiome_1-1-227x300.jpg 227w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 544px) 100vw, 544px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3d07d2ff e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"3d07d2ff\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-26c3a99 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"26c3a99\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6fba96c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6fba96c7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Coherent water and frequency therapy from Information Medicine stimulates the growth of butyrate-producing bacteria!<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d9f70c2 elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d9f70c2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In our small-scale research, we have shown that stable, coherent water can increase the amount of butyrate-producing bacteria and improve the diversity of the microbiome.
