More than 2000 years ago, Roman scholars defined inflammation (in Latin) as a process having color, dolor, rubor, and tumor. These four cardinal signs – heat, pain, redness, and swelling – are the visible manifestations of acute inflammation in the body. But chronic inflammation in our organs does not announce its presence in any such dramatic manner. Far too often we recognise the presence of chronic inflammation only when organs have become dysfunctional. We are now learning to pay closer attention to biomarkers of inflammation in those who suffer from diseases which are multifactorial (having multiple causes). We are also learning that chronic inflammation may be the result of an imbalance in the autonomic nervous system – the part of the brain which controls vital functions, like breathing and heart rate, and which we are usually unaware of.
