Can TCM help relieve chronic inflammation?

Chronic inflammation is often associated with pain, swelling, fatigue and an increased risk of infection. They can cause tissue damage by damaging cells and tissues and impairing normal functionality. This can significantly affect quality of life and increase the risk of other health problems.

Chronic inflammation in the body can have a wide range of adverse health effects and accelerate the overall aging process. These prolonged inflammatory processes have been linked to various diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, autoimmune disease, cancer, and neurodegenerative disease. The normally protective inflammatory response in the body can become harmful when chronically activated.

The body is continuously busy fighting bacteria, viruses and fungi. In times of increased stress or due to the natural aging process, the body may have difficulty successfully managing inflammation. In addition to a healthy lifestyle, TCM can help restore a healthy balance with the help of Chinese herbal therapy and acupuncture. In addition, after severe flu or cold illnesses, TCM can help speed recovery and alleviate residual inflammation, which may take the form of skin rashes or persistent fatigue, for example.
