Inflammation is a case of your body on high alert. It’s sparked by your immune system whenever you have some kind of damage, such as a cut or infection. As a response, your immune system sends white blood cells and other chemicals to the damaged area to repair tissue, fight off bacteria or other pathogens, and promote healing. Once healed, other cells move into the affected area and clear the inflammatory substances out.
