Biological Terrain

Meaning

Biological Terrain refers to the fluid environment, specifically the interstitial fluid matrix, that bathes and surrounds every cell within the human body. Often termed the milieu intérieur in classical physiology, this environment is a dynamic, nutrient-rich medium essential for cellular function and communication. Its chemical and physical characteristics, including pH, hydration, oxygen tension, and electrolyte balance, are meticulously regulated by homeostatic mechanisms. Optimizing the quality of this terrain is considered paramount in holistic health models to support cellular vitality and systemic resilience against dysfunction.
