How Does Inflammation Aid Healing?

It is interesting to note that inflammation does serve a purpose – it is the body’s natural self-protection mechanism. The Oxford Concise Medical Dictionary defines acute inflammation as the immediate defensive reaction of tissue to any injury, which may be caused by infection, chemicals, or physical agents. The aim of inflammation is to remove the harmful stimuli, damaged cells, irritants, or pathogens in order to begin the healing process.
