The bodies natural response to an injury is to produce inflammation. I would assume thats the bodies response from milleniums of evolution so it serves a purpose in the healing of the injury? But the general consensus is once injured we do everything we can to reduce inflammation. I don’t understand and am obviously missing info / intepreting info wrong. ELI5
Or am I on the right track and this is why RICE isn’t recommended as much any more and heat is?
In: Biology
Currently, our body tends to overreact and create large inflammatory responses over something small that is easily treatable, and can cause further damage. We now have medication that can treat said issues without the necessity of an inflammatory response, ie antibiotics, so oftentimes we’ll do an effective treatment for the specific issue along with an anti-inflammatory for comfort purposes
