Antiinflammatory Herbs

Definition

Antiinflammatory herbs are those herbs which are used against Inflammation.
Inflammation is a defense mechanism of the human body to fight pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants.
Acute inflammation is manifested by Pain, Heat, Redness, Swelling, and Loss of Function.
Inflammation protects the body. It initiates the healing process. Inflammation is not an infection. It is a response by the immune system. The better the immune system, the more aggressive will be the inflammation.
The focus of herbal treatment should be healing. Administering pain killers to deaden the nervous system should be the last choice.
As soon as an Inflammation occurs, we must try to resolve it with Anti Inflammatory herbs.
If not resolved, it may lead to Fibrosis or Abscess Formation. The treatment for these stages will be totally different, and is dealt with separately.
If not treated properly it will finally become a Chronic Inflammation. Chronic Inflammation may cause Hay Fever, Periodontitis, Atherosclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and even cancer

Hi, On the chart, there is both INFLAMMATION and ANTIINFLAMMATORY, however, why are there differing items, for example - in Antiinflammatory there os pin pollen in most effective, but pine pollen does not feature at all within inflammation. Are they not the same?
