The <strong>Inflammation triggers the body\u2019s immune system<\/strong> to <strong>start<\/strong> a <strong>healing process<\/strong>. Normally this leads to <strong>homeostasis<\/strong>, a<strong> back to normal body<\/strong>, but sometimes, our own immune system does not switch off, this is when we have over reactions like an allergy or an asthma attack.<\/p>\n<p>As we know,<strong> inflammation can cause redness<\/strong>, aching, <strong>swelling<\/strong>, perhaps a <strong>sensation of heat<\/strong>. <strong>Some people experience inflammation<\/strong> only<strong> after injury<\/strong>, and <strong>others sadly endure this every day<\/strong>. We now understand that<strong> long term inflammation in the body can also cause illness<\/strong>. Sometimes the trigger cell mechanisms usually used in defence to something \u201charmful\u201d occasionally over reacts and doesn\u2019t switch off<em> ( Chen, Linlin et al. \u201cInflammatory Responses and Inflammation-Associated Diseases in Organs.\u201d Oncotarget 9.6 (2018): 7204\u20137218.PMC)<\/em>. Illness such as <strong>arthritis<\/strong>, asthma, <strong>Crohn\u2019s disease<\/strong>, Irritable Bowel syndrome, <strong>MS<\/strong>, fibromyalgia, <strong>rheumatoid arthritis<\/strong>, herpes and <strong>many more are chronic disharmonies<\/strong> or<strong> inflammatory illnesses<\/strong>. Therefore, it is important to understand a little bit about this mechanism.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>origin of inflammation has two roots<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Non-infectious factors \/ External factor<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc;\">\n<li>Physical: burns, physical injury or<\/li>\n<li>trauma, foreign bodies (a thorn).<\/li>\n<li>Insect or animal bites<\/li>\n<li>Parasites (Gu pattern in TCM)<\/li>\n<li>Chemical: too much glucose, fatty acids, toxins, alcohol.<\/li>\n<li>Biological: damaged cells<\/li>\n<li>Psychological: too much excitement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Infectious factors\/Internal factors<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc;\">\n<li>Bacteria<\/li>\n<li>Viruses (colds or flu can lead to inflammation, in the sinuses, ears, nose and throat.)<\/li>\n<li>Post viral (Xiao Yang pattern TCM, the virus lingers such as Shingles)<\/li>\n<li>Microorganisms (Candida overgrowth, Damp and Stagnation pattern TCM)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In <strong>TCM we see inflammation<\/strong> and <strong>diagnose<\/strong> it in a <strong>slightly different way<\/strong> than in Western Medicine. <strong>TCM call<\/strong> this a <strong>pattern<\/strong> or <strong>syndrome<\/strong>. For example, we <strong>categorise<\/strong> <strong>arthritis as a Bi pattern<\/strong>, translated this would be a <strong>painful obstruction syndrome (POS)<\/strong>. This lets us know that <strong>there is pain<\/strong>, but it does <strong>not identify the caus<\/strong>e.<\/p>\n<p>For example, where<strong> arthritis is concerned<\/strong>, I hear patients saying the<strong> cold weather triggers pain<\/strong> or swelling, <strong>others<\/strong> <strong>find humidity<\/strong> and <strong>heat makes them feel worse<\/strong>. So, <strong>both have POS<\/strong>, <strong>but the patterns are different<\/strong>. The<strong> Cold pattern needs<\/strong> warming, <strong>moving the stagnation of QI<\/strong> or blood. The <strong>Heat pattern would need a treatment to eliminate excess heat<\/strong> and move the stasis (blockages) locked in the joints causing pain. The <strong>TCM specialist<\/strong> would then chose and <strong>recommend acupuncture points<\/strong>, herbs or <strong>anti-inflammatory foods<\/strong> according to the pattern, this would be unique to the patient.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, to effectively treat an inflammatory pattern we take a step further, not just help with the symptom but the cause.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc;\">\n<li><strong>Bi syndrome<\/strong> <strong>due<\/strong> to what TCM call <strong>wind<\/strong>, will<strong> express in pain that moves around the body<\/strong>; it\u2019s migratory.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bi syndrome due to cold <\/strong>shows <strong>very strong<\/strong> and <strong>fixed pain<\/strong>. This is the most painful of all.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bi syndrome due to humidity<\/strong>, <strong>shows a fixed pain<\/strong>, it does not move.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bi syndrome due to heat<\/strong> may <strong>manifest in a joint<\/strong>, that when it is touched is painful and it is hot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, with the example of \u201carthritis\u201d patients will be assessed and treated differently according to TCM, and it might take a little longer to calm chronic inflammation as we go to the cause.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to help inflammation?<\/strong> The rule is <strong>as soon as there are signs<\/strong>, stop everything and <strong>deal with the problem in an acute form<\/strong> because once inflammation becomes chronic, it evolves into a more complicated package of patterns.<\/p>\n<p>Should you<strong> suffer from Candida<\/strong> for example, <strong>bloating<\/strong> or <strong>not having a good digestion<\/strong>, the<strong> Stomach QI will be weak<\/strong>. The<strong> simplest solution<\/strong> would be trying to<strong> avoid sugars<\/strong> as this feeds inflammation. Our <strong>digestive vitality is essential to combat inflammation<\/strong>. In the same manner, I wrote about a healthy immune <strong>system needs a good diet<\/strong> and a<strong> balance of healthy bacteria in the gut<\/strong>, as we now know that<strong> inflammation triggers the immune system<\/strong> <strong>to get to work<\/strong>, <strong>inflammation is helped<\/strong> with a<strong> healthy life style<\/strong> managing stress, regular exercise, and a healthy diet.<\/p>\n<p>Among many of <strong>nature\u2019s solutions<\/strong>, a few anti-inflammatory foods, which support your immune stem, include <strong>curcumin<\/strong> or <strong>turmeric<\/strong>, fennel, <strong>ginger<\/strong>, yucca, <strong>Echinacea<\/strong>, pineapple and <strong>strawberries<\/strong>, green tea, <strong>most herbs<\/strong> we cook with, apple cider vinegar and <strong>spinach<\/strong>, etc. <strong>Vegetables<\/strong> and <strong>fruit<\/strong> provide <strong>important flavonoids and carotenoids<\/strong> which <strong>have anti-inflammatory properties<\/strong>, try and eat in season and organic where possible.<\/p>\n<p>The<strong> best advice<\/strong> I can give is to <strong>recognise<\/strong> and <strong>understand<\/strong> the<strong> inflammatory pattern in your body according to TCM<\/strong>, and how a <strong>healthy immune system ensures<\/strong> a <strong>speedy recovery<\/strong>. In this way, you can<strong> adjust your lifestyl<\/strong>e and together with a TCM specialist you can<strong> treat cold<\/strong>, wind, <strong>heat<\/strong>, damp, or a <strong>mix of them for long term health benefits<\/strong> avoiding internal or external inflammation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to inflammation our body can respond to some form of harmful stimuli.
