noninflammatory
Without causing swelling
Noninflammatory describes something that doesn't cause or involve inflammation.
In medicine, a noninflammatory condition lacks the swelling, redness, and heat typical of inflammatory responses: noninflammatory arthritis.
In broader use, noninflammatory language or rhetoric avoids provoking anger or controversy: She kept her remarks noninflammatory despite the tense situation.
