About This Blog
In blog we will look at the different types of inflammation, and how Hydrogen Therapy can possible help reduce inflammation.
Harmful Or Healthy Inflammation ?
Inflammation is a process by which your body’s white blood cells, protect you from infection from outside invaders, such as bacteria and viruses, and this is the healthy short term inflammation.
Yet in some diseases, like arthritis, your body’s defence system, your immune system triggers inflammation when there are no invaders to fight off. In these autoimmune diseases, your immune system acts as if regular tissues are infected or somehow causing damage, this is the unhealthy inflammation.
Inflammation Types
Inflammation can be either short-lived (acute) or long-lasting (chronic). Acute inflammation goes away within hours or days. Chronic inflammation can last months or years, even after the first trigger is gone. Conditions linked to chronic inflammation include:
- Cancer
- Heart disease
- Diabetes
- Asthma
- Alzheimer’s disease
Inflammation and Arthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Psoriatic arthritis
- Gouty arthritis
Other painful conditions of the joints and musculoskeletal system that may not be related to inflammation include osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, muscular low back pain, and muscular neck pain.
Hydrogen can help reduce this harmful inflammation in 4 ways by…
- Reducing Oxidative Stress
- Down-regulates pro-inflammation cytokines
- Up-regulates inflammatory cytokines
- Prevent or prohibit the elevation of excessive inflammation.
In this video from Tywon Hubbard from H2 Minutes he explains the effects of Hydrogen therapy in more detail on inflammation.
Conclusion
Although hydrogen therapy can possibly help ease chronic inflammation , we believe that hydrogen therapy is only a small part of the whole picture in helping our clients with adjacent therapies in easing inflammation. We believe in a bigger view of addressing many different areas in easing inflammation such as epigenetics , AIC Therapy , nutrition and other aspects if you would like to read our page from The Ozone Spa on a more in depth overview , please click for easing arthritis
