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?

Inflammation is like war. You might win the war at the cost of high casualties (tissue damage, premature aging, planting the seeds for cancer, etc ). Or you might win the battle but lose the war (chronic inflammation, cytokine storms, anaphylaxis, etc)
