    reduce inflammation and alleviate related symptoms in the body

    Anti-inflammatory effects refer to the ability of a substance or treatment to reduce inflammation in the body. Inflammation is the body's natural response to injury or infection, but chronic inflammation can lead to various health issues, including autoimmune diseases and conditions like alopecia. Anti-inflammatory effects can help alleviate symptoms, reduce pain, and improve overall health by targeting the underlying inflammatory processes.
