anti-inflammatory properties
Reduces bodily inflammation
The ability to reduce inflammation—swelling, redness, heat, and pain caused by the body's immune response.
Foods, drugs, and compounds are said to have anti-inflammatory properties when they can suppress this response: Turmeric is prized for its anti-inflammatory properties.
The phrase appears frequently in health writing, sometimes with more marketing enthusiasm than scientific backing.
