Inflammationis anintricate danceof cellsand chemicalswithin ourbodies that,when triggeredby injuryor infection,release distress signalsin theform ofchemical messengers called cytokines Thesecytokines actlike sirens, attractingimmune cellslike neutrophils and macrophages to thestressed orinjured site.

Thesecells,onceactivated,becomefactoriesfor inflammatorymediatorslike prostaglandins and leukotrienes. Thesemediatorsareresponsiblefor theclassicsignsofinflammation–redness causedby increasedblood flow,swelling due tofluid buildup,and paintriggered bythe stimulationof nerveendings.

• Chronicinflammationcangoonformonths oryears.

Theskin isour body'slargest organand isa windowinto ouroverall health.Our skinacts as abarrier, protectingus fromexternal threats likebacteria andallergens. Inflammation disruptsthis barrierby causingchanges inthe productionof essentialoils andproteins that keepthe skinintact.
