Inflammation; A Warning sign for The Immune System:

Inflammation is a process which involves body’s way of fighting against external and internal pathogen. When the body is under a threat, it reacts by inflating a particular body part. Inflating serves as a red alert and healing process starts.

This healing process is body’s inborn way to protect our immune system. For instance, if your ankle gets strained, the body’s response would be to inflate that particular area, so that healing could start. It not only heals wounds speedily, but effectively. When an inflammation is felt in the body, our instance, response is to soothe it by resting.  The basic reason aim of inflammation is to heal anything which is harming our bodies.

Inflammation is of two kinds; acute and chronic. In acute inflammation, the body reacts once it gets septic with infections. It shows symptoms of redness, pain and heat swelling on the injury. At this point, the acute inflammation treats the injured tissues and reverts back, but if acute inflammation gets prolonged it becomes chronic. Chronic inflammation stays on the infected tissue for many years.
