Inflammation, so I've heard, can also be a response in the body attempting to heal a certain area. Sometimes inflammation increases as a person is going through a healing crisis also.

But is the inflammation itself the problem? Or is it just the body's response to the REAL problem? Which perhaps might cause us to look much deeper as to why it is occuring....

I think the best treatment is to apply a
50/50 mixture of olive oil and oil of oregano.

To help the oil work, apply heat afterward too. Be sure to wash
your hands well, so you don't accidently get it in your eyes.
