What is inflammation?

Inflammation is what we call inflammation. It's our body's immune response to fight infection and repair damaged tissue; It is a self-healing process triggered by some kind of illness in our body. When a harmful bacteria or virus attacks us, our body's verification system kicks in and fights back. Or if we sprain an ankle, our inflammatory system kicks in to repair damaged tissue. Without the inflammatory system, we would soon die.

A lot of diseases of the human body have a concern with inflammation, have research to make clear for instance, the root of heart disease is arterial inflammation, again for instance inflammation of all sorts of the bone joint, reach inflammation of department of gynecology, gastroenteritis, chronic hepatitis, cholecystitis, nephritis, pneumonia, even rhinitis, keratitis, otitis media... Even cancer, almost all chronic diseases are associated with inflammation.

Inflammation is classified into acute inflammation and chronic inflammation

Acute inflammation: Acute inflammation is characterized by redness, swelling, pain, etc., that is, inflammation mainly composed of the response of the vascular system.

Chronic inflammation: chronic inflammation is mainly some chronic inflammatory diseases, such as chronic gastroenteritis, chronic hepatitis, repeated gynecological inflammation and other diseases.

The cause of inflammation

Any factor that can cause tissue damage can be the cause of inflammation, that is, inflammatory factors can be summarized into the following categories:

Biological factors: bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, fungi, spirochete and parasites are the most common causes of inflammation. Inflammation caused by biological pathogens is also called infection. Bacteria produce exotoxins and endotoxins that can directly damage tissues; Virus replication in infected cells leads to cell death; Some antigenic pathogens, such as parasitic infections and tuberculosis, cause tissue damage by inducing an immune response.

Physical factors: high temperature, low temperature, radioactive substances and ultraviolet and mechanical damage.

Chemical factor: exogenous chemical substances such as strong acid, strong alkali and turpentine. Endogenous toxic substances such as decomposition products of necrotic tissues and metabolic products such as urea accumulated in the body under certain pathological conditions.

Foreign body: foreign body entering the human body through various ways, such as various metals, wood debris, dust in the air, and surgical sutures, etc., due to its different antigenicity, can cause different degrees of inflammation.

Necrotic tissue: tissue necrosis can be caused by ischemia or hypoxia, and tissue necrosis is a potential inflammatory factor. The hyperemic bleeding zone and inflammatory cell infiltration at the margin of a fresh infarct are signs of inflammation.

Allergy: When the body's immune response is abnormal, it can cause an inappropriate or excessive immune response, resulting in tissue and cell damage and inflammation. Such as allergic rhinitis, colitis, urticaria, tuberculosis, glomerulonephritis and other diseases.

cistanche benefit: anti-inflammation

Take antibiotics to combat the dangers of inflammation

Inflammation, people's first reaction is anti-inflammatory, take anti-inflammatory drugs, impatient people immediately to the hospital to infusion, think infusion good fast. However, in recent years, people have gradually realized the harm of antibiotics, antibiotics are bactericidal and anti-inflammatory, long-term use will destroy the normal flora of the human body, kill the good bacteria, resulting in intestinal flora disorder, cause a variety of intestinal dysfunction and adverse reactions, and cause secondary infection, reduce the body resistance;

In addition, antibiotics are mostly metabolized by liver and kidney. Abuse of antibiotics is most likely to cause damage to liver and kidney function. We can pay attention to it. In addition, antibiotics will increase the allergic reaction of drugs, in recent years, allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma disease high incidence, is related to the abuse of antibiotics.

cistanche can anti-inflammation

Anti-inflammatory herb: cistanche

Experimental studies have shown that cistanche deserticola has anti-inflammatory effects. N-butanol and water layer extract from 50% ethanol extract of cistanche deserticola showed good anti-inflammatory activity. The extract of Cistanche tubulosa rich in echinocoside could improve the colitis induced by sodium glucan sulfate in mice.

Seven phenylethanoid glycosides isolated from Deserticola deserticola showed a protective effect on nitric oxide-induced inflammatory cells. C. deserticola glycoside K and tubuloside B had a good inhibitory effect on nitric oxide secretion in LPS-induced BV-2 cells, suggesting that they had an anti-inflammatory effect.
