Herbs that can be used for Inflammation

What is Inflammation?

Inflammation is a natural biological process during which the immune system carries out certain reactions and sends signals to the proinflammatory and inflammatory mediators to encounter the pathogens. A classic example of inflammation is when you hit your arm and the region swells up, turning red and giving painful sensations. The acute inflammation can be considered a blessing in disguise as it can be treated or mostly heals up on its own. However, chronic inflammation is the real challenge to tackle. If it remains untreated, the person might end up with tumor formation, cancer, and diabetes.

Symptoms of Inflammation

There are 5 cardinal signs of inflammation:

Calor (heat)
Dolor (pain)
Rubor (redness)
Tumor (swelling)
Functio laesa (loss of function)

3 Herbs Recommended for Inflammation

Boneset

Bonset is one of nature’s oldest remedies for rheumatism (pain due to swelling of joints). In the 18th century, it was used as a diaphoretic (induce sweating) for the treatment of break-bone fever (influenza-like fever marked by severe pain in bones). It can also be used to reduce the inflammation of the nasal lining to soothe asthma, bronchitis, and sinusitis. Take Boneset Tincture up to 3 times daily in water or tea to cater to your inflammatory conditions.

Rosemary

Rosemary is not just your usual culinary herb. With its massive flavor and heavenly scent, it is packed with loads of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents that can deal with various inflammatory conditions. It is rich in rosmarinic acid, chlorogenic acid, carnosic acid, oleanolic acid, and eucalyptol which helps boost blood circulation, improve the functioning of the immune system, and relieve oxidative stress. Slip some Rosemary Tincture into your routine to get a boost of immunity and get rid of unnecessary inflammation.
