Skull Cap and Inflammation

Inflammation is one of the natural responses of your immune system to invading pathogens or tissue irritation that sometimes appears to do more harm than good. However, we could not survive without a healthy, functioning immune system even though it appears to over-deliver at times and threaten the patient's life.

Some of the best treatments for inflammatory conditions revolve around treating the symptoms and then biochemically preventing the continuation of the immune response once the condition has either been cured, or it is decided that to permit inflammation to continue would harm the patient's health.

Skull cap in the form of capsules or an extract can be used to alleviate the symptoms of inflammatory conditions such as acne, arthritis, atherosclerosis, cancers and many more, and can be taken the form of capsules, extracts or even a tea that tastes fresh and invigorating.

Inflammation is initiated by the release of a number of biochemical species, among them histamine and prostaglandins, the latter of which are lipids that can lead to dilation of the blood vessels. This enables large macrophages, or white blood cells, to pass through the capillaries to the site of the damage.

Another effect of the immune system is fever, which renders the affected site too hot for bacteria to handle. This can result in pain, often caused by the pressure on the nerve endings though swelling. Anti-inflammatories work by suppressing the release of chemicals such as these.

Skull cap in the form of capsules or an extract can be used to alleviate the symptoms of inflammatory conditions such as acne, arthritis, atherosclerosis, cancers and many more, and can be taken the form of capsules, extracts or even a tea that tastes fresh and invigorating.
