Have you ever noticed that when you bruise yourself or have a cut or scrape it always seems to get inflamed? The inflammation is caused by an increase in blood to the affected area. But the increase is not always good for you. When an athlete is hurt or bruised, one of the first treatments is ice. The ice reduces the inflammation and allows the healing process to begin and complete more quickly.
The same inflammation also occurs to our internal organs and bones. For example, people who suffer from chronic heartburn are often diagnosed with have acid reflux disease and prescribed the ‘little purple pill.’ You’ve probably seen the commercials by now on how this pill stops the burning and….reduces the inflammation! Acid reflux inflames your inner organs and causes a burning or nauseous sensation that can be very uncomfortable and sometimes painful.
Interestingly, sea vegetation has been proven to control and even stop inflammation from occurring. Sea Vegetation, particularly the brown variety contains a naturally occurring chemical that stops or reduces inflammation from occurring in our bodies. Eastern cultures have been using brown sea vegetation for centuries and it is now becoming more popular in the West as nutritional supplements begin incorporating sea vegetation as part of their ingredients.

Pretty interesting information presented. I do agree that their are alternative methods to aid health problems without the use of clinical prescribed medication. After all, during the ancient times people used natural products specifically for their ailments. I don’t think that we are living that much healthier with the aid of certain medications. Good post though!

Vilash,
Thank you for your perspective and endorsement of alternative methods to aid health problems. We live in a society that has a pill for almost every ailment. I believe we all would be much better off focusing on disease prevention rather than taking a lifetime prescription.
