Anti-Inflammatory (Anti-Phylogistics) are herbs/substances that have properties/substances that can treat/controls/reduces inflammation in the body (a reaction to injury or Infection), however not only inhibiting inflammation but actually nourish and support the body in its attempt to deal with the problem. Different herbs and carriers target different body systems. This action primarily affects immune-system.
• Anti-Inflammatory herbs that contain Helenalin and Salicylic acid are desirable for their Anti-Inflammatory qualities and those that contain Cannabichromene (one of the many cannabinoids present in the cannabis plant) has been shown to reduce inflammation.
• The symptomatic alleviation of inflammation employed by pharmaceuticals is rarely the same mechanism by which these remedies act.
• Inflammation is a normal and healthy body response to Infections or systemic issues of many varieties.
• The cardinal signs of inflammation (swelling, heat, redness, loss of function & pain) all serve eliminative purposes and meaningful Immune System responses.
• Over time the inflammatory reaction will bring about necessary changes to heal and restore health to the area affected.
• Modern medicine is conditioned to react to inflammation as something that should be quickly and completely smothered.
• Herbal Remedies offer us the possibility of achieving a balance between the complex chemical mediators involved and working with the body rather than against it.
• Demulcents, emollients and Vulneraries will often act in an Anti-Inflammatory way, especially when applied externally.
• Herbal anti-inflammatories can be broadly placed in groups according to the way in which they work.
Types of Anti-Inflammatory Herbs
While some identified plant constituents have been shown to have an Anti-Inflammatory effect, the overall action of these plants is so much more than any specific chemical, however the following summarizes some major Anti-Inflammatory constituents:

• Anti-Inflammatory herbs that help the body to control/soothe inflammations or directly reduce the inflammatory response. Herbs can reduce inflammation in a number of different ways, but will rarely inhibit the natural inflammation process, instead they support and encourage the chemical mediators involved, aiding the body with the cleansing work it’s already doing, thereby speeding the healing process.
• A typical Anti-Inflammatory diet includes a well-balanced, varied diet that is high in Vegetables and low in refined Carbohydrates and undesirable fats, such as saturated fats and trans fats.
• Anti-Inflammatory foods include most colourful Fruits and Vegetables, oily fish (which contain higher levels of Omega-3 Fatty Acids), nuts, seeds, and certain spices.
