It can be said that Chronic inflammation is the root of all disease. You may not even see the inflammation, but you can bet it is there, especially if you don’t eat properly or exercise regularly.
That’s because inflammation is actually the body’s natural response to stress—be it dietary, physical, environmental or even emotional. And once your body starts to become inflamed, it puts you at risk for everything from weight gain, migraines, allergies and colds and flus to more serious illnesses such as gout, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease and the dreaded ‘C’ word—cancer.
Even the healthiest among us will have some type of inflammation—if you live in today’s fast-paced, toxin-filled world, you have inflammation. The real question is what do you plan to do about it?

Where Does Inflammation Start?
Would you be surprised to learn that most inflammation actually begins in your gut? People tend to overlook their digestive system as a source of disease, but it makes sense when you consider that our guts are home to about 70% of our immune system and where 80% or more of our immunoglobulin A (IgA) cells (immune cells) live.
Chronic inflammation can reveal itself in a variety of way, but these 5 signs are the most common.

1.You have digestive problems like gas, diarrhea, bloating, or constipation.
These can stem from a sick, inflamed, overly permeable gut—and a leaky gut that allows toxins to escape into your bloodstream is one of the leading cause of chronic, body-wide inflammation.

2.You're tired all the time.
Inflamed cells are sick cells, and they can’t produce the energy you need to feel refreshed and invigorated. As a result, you feel fatigued even when you first get out of bed—and by afternoon, you’re exhausted.

3.Skin Problems
People that experience high levels of stress produce a higher amount of inflammatory chemicals than those who do not. As our skin is considered a primary indication of health, it is unsurprising that these stress chemicals can lead to, or exacerbate, a number of skin conditions – including acne and psoriasis.

4.You have a “spare tire” around your waist
Fat cells in the abdomen churn out inflammatory chemicals—and the more belly fat you have, the more of these chemicals they create. In fact, cardiovascular medicine expert Peter Libby, MD, calls belly fat a “hotbed” of inflammation.

5.Aches and pains. 
If you regularly feel achy in your muscles, joints or all over, you can bet your body is inflamed. When your immune cells or fat cells produce inflammatory chemicals called cytokines, you will experience heightened pain sensitivity and stiffness. Fibromyalgia and arthritis are classic symptoms of excess inflammation.

How to heal chronic inflammation:
If you have any of these signs pointing to chronic inflammation, here’s the good news: You can start taking control by changing your lifestyle.
Begin by cutting out highly inflammatory foods like sugar and grains out of your diet and eating more lean protein, vegetables, and healthy fats. I recommend drinking gut-healing bone broth every day for a huge dose of anti-inflammatory power. Exercise daily, get enough sleep, and de-stress yourself with mindfulness meditation. Lower your body's burden of toxic chemicals, and you’ll turn down the flame another notch.

Inflammation from an injury, bad posture or a poor sleeping position are some common causes of a pinched nerve. The pain of a pinched nerve can make you quite miserable, and carrying on with everyday activities, even sleeping can be difficult.
If not treated timely, it can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, sciatica, and other severe conditions.
Many natural remedies can alleviate the symptoms and promote healing
1.Adjust Your Posture
As poor posture is one of the main causes of a pinched nerve, the first step you need to take is improving your posture. Changing the way you sit and stand will help relieve pain and can even reduce compression or constriction of the nerve.
For a pinched nerve in your neck, be sure to keep your chin in a neutral position. It should not be too far forward or pulled too far back. At the same time, your shoulders should be in an upright position, which you can maintain by gently squeezing your shoulder blades together.

2.Rest
No matter where the pinched nerve is or what caused it, you need to rest the affected area as much as possible. Granted, resting is often easier said than done, but its importance in healing must not be underestimated.
Along with limiting your activities, sleeping longer will give your body more time to heal. If needed, use a neck brace to limit your movement while you sleep. Avoid sleeping on your stomach; try to sleep on your back or side.
To treat a pinched nerve in your lower back, try elevating your legs a few inches while resting or sleeping.

3.Use a Cold Compress
For temporary and quick relief from pinched nerve pain, you can use a cold compress. The cold temperature will help relieve pain by numbing the affected area. It also reduces swelling and inflammation.
Put a few ice cubes in a plastic, sealable bag.
Wrap the bag in a hand towel.
Hold the ice pack directly on the area with the pinched nerve for about 10 to 15 minutes at a time.
Repeat every hour or so, as needed.
Never apply ice directly on your skin, as it can cause cold burns.

4.Apply Heat
You can apply heat on the affected area to relax the muscles that might be tight around the nerve.
Heat provides comfort and helps the healing-process, as it improves blood-circulation to the site of the injured nerve.
Soak a washcloth in warm water and squeeze out the excess water.
Put the warm compress on the affected area for 10 minutes at a time.
Repeat as needed.
You can also use a heating pad or hot water bottle.
5.Take an Epsom Salt Bath
Magnesium is critical for the body to heal and for nerve pain. Epsom-salt is one of the best ways to maintain a proper magnesium level in the body. In fact, the body will absorb magnesium from the Epsom salt very quickly.
It also works as a natural anti-inflammatory agent as well as helps relax tightened muscles around the area of the pinched nerve.
Mix 1 cup of Epsom salt in a bathtub filled with warm water.
Soak your body in it for about 15 to 20 minutes.
Use this remedy 2-times a week until your condition improves.
