An anti-inflammatory is a substance that reduces inflammation or swelling in the body. It can be a medication, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen, or a natural remedy, such as certain foods and herbs. Anti-inflammatories are often used to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation associated with conditions like Arthritis, injuries, and other inflammatory diseases. By targeting the inflammatory response, they help promote healing and improve overall comfort.
