Understanding inflammation is important as it is a normal and beneficial process by the body. Allowing it to process naturally promotes the fastest healing. However, you need to know the different kinds.

There are two sorts of inflammation - the acute and the chronic. 

Acute inflammation occurs when we have suffered an injury. Its role is to protect the injured part from further damage. Swelling protects the part with cushioning and supplies all the bodily functions to repair. Pain prevents further movement which could cause exacerbations.

The body is intelligent. It is working in perfect harmony with healing.

It's important to appreciate that all inflammatory processes are beneficial body responses. The increased blood supply, which makes the swelling look red and feel hot, brings all the necessary repair materials and takes away the waste products.

Chronic inflammation is rather different. It is still from some form of trauma, but unlike in the acute version, it is not from direct injury. The exception being from a lack of healing at an energetic level of an injured part. This can come about from taking anti-inflammatory drugs which prevent natural healing. Or from further trauma of the affected part.

However, here we are exploring that which occurs from other causes than direct injury. Without understanding what inflammation is, can lead to more serious chronic conditions including auto immune.

Just as with acute inflammation, chronic inflammation sends in the blood to repair and to remove the toxic waste. So it can be uncomfortable, painful with swelling and heat.

This is perfectly normal and natural. It does not mean the body is faulty. Quite the opposite. If the problem is resolved, then the swelling and pain disappear. However, with chronic inflammation, the condition tends to be ongoing.

Just as with acute inflammation there is damage. However, the damage that occurs with chronic inflammation comes from toxins, a lack of adequate nutrition, non-natural radiation and unresolved mental or emotional trauma.

• Toxins come from some foods, some supplements, pharmaceutical drugs, household and garden chemicals, personal care products, etc. Many cannot be adequately eliminated.
• Inadequate nutrition is self explanatory, and it does limit the ability of bodily functions.
• Non natural radiation is now everywhere and is an unseen toxin, affecting everyone.
• Unresolved mental or emotional trauma disregulate natural bodily functions including healing.

Normally, there are multiple factors leading to this, or any, condition.

Trauma instigates tissue repair in three phases - the inflammatory phase, the proliferation phase and the restorative or regenerative phase.

NSAIDs, corticosteroids and DMARDs all suppress the bodily natural process of healing. Each of these introduce new toxins into the body, making things worse. As does hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin.

Over time, this leads to auto immune diseases. Auto immune diseases are not because the body is attacking itself. It is because it is not being allowed to heal itself.

When the drugs are stopped, the body goes back to healing. However, due to the suppression, the problem is now worse. The cycle of healing that was interrupted also needs to resume to continue where it left off. So it appears to the unaware, that the body is not repairing itself. It is. In its own way, that needs understanding.

Any initial healing always starts with awareness. Being conscious of the process of problems empowers action. The first action is to eliminate toxins where you can. Always be conscious of the ingredients in everything and avoid those with long lists and weird names.

Improved nutrition is an obvious course of action. When you're time poor, learn easy, but tasty recipes and swap the time it takes with something of little value.

Limit radiation exposure from mobile phones, smart anything, wi-fi, internet routers, 5G towers and the like. Get protection from those you can't avoid.

Most people are not aware of their unresolved mental and emotional trauma as they have buried it to get on with life. However, your body is very much aware of their influence. Good homeopathic treatment can easily resolve these past traumas, wiping the slate clean, as it were.

By understanding inflammation and what your body is telling you, you can take appropriate action. It is simply the body's repair response. When you ignore your body's messages and take the suppressive drugs, you're heading towards autoimmune conditions.

Don't skimp on your health. Listen to your body. Eat well. Avoid toxins and radiation where you can. Employ a good homeopath for your ongoing health needs. Your body will reward you for your care.
