Was du lernen wirst

Secondary plant compounds and molecules

Learn about the biosynthesis of secondary plant compounds and discover the diversity and healing properties of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, glycosides, terpenes, and many more. Essential oils are also secondary plant compounds and are discussed in depth, including their basic chemical structures and practical applications.

Everyday applications

Deepen your understanding of specific areas of application such as pain management, digestion and detoxification, antiviral and antimicrobial defense, hormonal support, emotional balance, and epigenetic health. Learn about the biochemical mechanisms of plant molecules in each of these areas and how they can be used specifically to promote health and well-being.

Fundamentals of Biochemistry

Learn how plant molecules interact in the human body, including the role of receptors, channels, enzymes, and cell walls. We also cover the basic principles of gene expression and the concepts of synergism and antagonism.

Course structure and specific content

The course covers a wide range of different biochemical mechanisms of action of essential oils and other secondary plant compounds from medicinal plants in our various body systems.
