On June 27, World Microbiome Day, the scientific community and doctors around the world draw attention to the most important but invisible part of our body - the trillions of microorganisms that inhabit our bodies. For decades, we considered bacteria exclusively enemies that need to be destroyed with antiseptics and antibiotics. However, the modern biomedical revolution has proven the opposite: we are a complex "superorganism", and without our microbial helpers

Every person has a fundamental right to health. However, the paradigm of how we realize this right is changing dramatically today. Traditionally, people turn to medicine only when they are already ill, and demand that their doctor quickly eliminate their symptoms. However, modern science proves that true health is not formed in the doctor's office during acute pain, but long before that - through a deep understanding of how our unique body functions.

Modern science views humans not simply as a separate biological species, but as a complex "superorganism" consisting of human cells and trillions of microorganisms. Our bodies are inhabited by about 38 trillion bacterial cells, which even exceeds the number of our own cells (about 30 trillion). This vast microbial community - the microbiome - is our invisible inner world, which controls immunity, metabolism, mood and even eating habits.

The summer season brings not only warmth and long-awaited vacations, but also serious challenges for our body. One of the most common problems that people face during this period is a sudden exacerbation of dermatological conditions: the appearance of papular and pustular rashes, acne, exacerbation of couperose or atopic dermatitis. Traditionally, we tend to blame external factors - dust, heat, excessive sweating or the use of thick sunscreens (SPF).
