Inflammation is a popular topic, and I must admit that I’ve fallen into the trap of vilifying this natural physiological phenomenon.

Simply put, inflammation is our body’s response to infection, injury or insult.

Heat, redness, swelling, pain and pus signal that you are injured or sick and provide the necessary feedback to seek treatment or avoid further injury.

Human nature often leads us to categorise things as either good or evil, but the reality is that the optimal balance is usually found somewhere in the middle.
