The body handles inflammations just fine, but you can actively help it to get it done more quickly. Doesn't have to be Aspirin though, chamomile tea and lots of other things work wonders, too.
- DrDoonothing 4y agoActually there are a lot of things which do not do anything. Its probably one of the most fake markets out there.
- kensai 4y agoAlthough HN is not a medical site, comments like yours need a disclaimer. Cause even the phrase “the body handles inflammations just fine” needs a it depends clarifier.

- kadoban 4y ago> The body handles inflammations just fine, but you can actively help it to get it done more quickly. The body doesn't "handle" inflammations, inflammation is something the body _does itself_ in response to issues. In the vast majority of cases you don't have to help it do anything, it's intentionally doing that. The only reason to interfere at all is if it's making you uncomfortable or actively causing you problems (the body isn't perfect, it fucks up too). The same thing applies to fevers. The body doesn't (in the vast majority of cases) need your help getting rid of a fever, it _caused_ a fever because that's part of its immune response. If the fever is becoming dangerous, sure go nuts, but usually you're just reducing its ability to fight off an infection.
