Managing the Body’s Inflammatory Response
Acute inflammation is a natural response that helps the body protect and repair itself. In the short term, this process is an important part of healing. However, when inflammation continues for long periods of time, it may place ongoing stress on tissues and contribute to broader health concerns.
Maintaining a healthy inflammatory function is an important part of supporting overall wellbeing.
Heard a lot about Ashwagandha lately? You’re not alone. Ashwagandha is classed as an adaptogenic herb, meaning that it has properties that help the body to adapt to stress. It is also known as Withania Somnifera or Indian ginseng. The ashwagandha plant is a small shrub with yellow flowers and small red berries containing small seeds. It is typically the root of the plant that is used medicinally, after it has been dried and processed, but the leaves are often used as well. Ashwagandha works by reducing the effect of stressors both chemically and physically by reducing cortisol levels. Cortisol is a hormone produced by the body and is predominantly involved in the fight-or-flight response, determining how people react to acute or chronic stress.

Inflammation begins when the body detects injury, irritation or other challenges. Cells release signalling molecules that help coordinate the body’s response, encouraging blood flow and activating immune activity in the affected area.
Certain nutrients and plant compounds are often studied for the roles they may play in supporting the body’s natural inflammatory processes and helping maintain balance within these systems.
Curcumin is the main active compound found in turmeric (Curcuma longa). It has been widely researched for its role in supporting the body’s natural inflammatory response.
One challenge with curcumin is that it can be difficult for the body to absorb in its basic form. For this reason, modern formulations often focus on improving how curcumin is absorbed and utilised by the body.
