Inflammation is a part of the immune response that can prevent infection through production of pro- inflammatory cytokines and generation of inflammatory mediators in response to pathogens.[1] Inflammation is an essential part of human immune response. However, when the inflammatory process is poorly controlled, it can cause undesirable damages including massive tissue destruction. [2,3,4] Traditional Chinese Medicine […]
Inflammation is the body’s primary defense mechanism against infections, wounds, and pathogens. However, uncontrolled inflammatory response caused by a sub-optimal immune system can lead to many problems. For example, in the case of COVID-19, for people with dysfunctional immune systems, we see the virus causing an uncontrolled immune response, triggering an overproduction of immune cells and their signaling […]
