SUPER EASY DIY ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRINK

So, what's the deal with inflammation? There are two types of inflammation: acute and chronic (sometimes called systemic) inflammation. Acute inflammation arises after a cut or scrape in the skin, an infected ingrown nail, a sprained ankle, acute bronchitis, a sore throat, tonsillitis or appendicitis. It is short-term and the effects subside after a few days. Chronic inflammation is long-term and occurs in “wear and tear” conditions, including osteoarthritis, and autoimmune diseases, such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, allergies, asthma, inflammatory bowel disease and Crohn’s disease, Walker said. Habitual or environmental factors, such as excess weight, poor diet, lack of exercise, stress, smoking, pollution, poor oral health and excessive alcohol consumption can also lead to chronic inflammation. Often, acute inflammation is perceived as "good," because it is the body’s attempt to heal itself after an injury, and chronic inflammation as "bad" but Walker said that is not a very useful distinction. Whether acute or chronic, inflammation “is the body’s natural response to a problem, so it makes us aware of issues that we might not otherwise acknowledge,” he said. 
Inflammation kinda makes me think of the battles with sin in my own life. Some sin is sudden and acute and reminds me instantly of how much I continually need the grace of God in my life. It happens, we catch it, repent, and me move forward. Some sin, is festering, chronic, and is slowly killing us from the inside out. We do not want to acknowledge it or deal with it until the pain or discomfort it causes becomes so tremendous that we can't help but do something about it. Pain is often a way of the body or the soul saying, "Hey! There's a problem here." God's grace, correction, Word, love, discipline, and mercies are the healing properties that renew the broken soul of a person and begin to bring it back to health. I pray that we will reflect on that today and be honest with God If there is an area of our life that needs His healing.
