Anti-inflammatories are substances that reduce inflamation. Inflamation is defined by redness, swelling and heat in any particular place in the body or could be systemic. Just as inflamation can be in a particular part of the body so can some botanicals treat inflamation in a specific part of the body. There are many different mechanisms of action that anti-inflammatories act on to function. Common inflammatory diseases are irritable bowel disease, arthritis, ulcers, and dermatitis. Some botanicals work best when taken internally, while others work best when applied externally. Like all plants, those listed in this category have many other actions and choosing the best botanical for your needs rests on proper choices.
