Inflammation: Good, Bad, or Both?

Inflammation is a crucial aspect of the body’s healing process, wherein inflammatory cells journey to injury sites, prompting recovery. Yet, chronic inflammation signs can be elusive – examples include abdominal and chest pain, fatigue, fever, joint discomfort, and stiffness (like in rheumatoid arthritis), as well as mouth sores and skin rashes (as in psoriasis). Turmeric presents a natural solution for pain and inflammation. Notably, curcumin, an extract of turmeric, is renowned for its potent anti-inflammatory properties, effectively alleviating pain, and dampening inflammation. Regarded as one of the most robust botanical anti-inflammatories, Good Habits Market takes pride in offering prime curcumin varieties, available as liposomal soft gels, or liquid.

It’s important to ensure your parent(s) can live comfortably and safely at home, using various services, aids and tools to make things easier.
