This is an article about omega-3 fatty acids, however I’m starting the story with inflammation. When we think of inflammation it is most often in relation to a physical injury. The symptoms are redness, swelling, pain, warmth to the touch, and loss of function to the affected tissue. Affected tissue is the key phrase here. Inflammation applies to the entire system, and these same symptoms apply to all internal organs, including the brain and the circulatory, digestive, respiratory, nervous and immune systems. Let’s not forget that skin is also an organ, one that also suffers greatly and easily shows inflammation on the exterior that often arise from internal inflammatory conditions such as dietary irritation, stress, viral infection, inoculations and of course, insect bites. Mild chronic inflammation can wreak havoc through myriad causes, this article focuses upon the benefits of Omega 3 Essential fatty acids (EFAs). These are healthy lipids that the body itself cannot produce and must be acquired from food or supplement (naturalpath.net).
The most well known EFAs can be found in many oils such as fish, krill and cod liver oil. However, another source of omega-3 is alpha-linolenic acid, which is found in the oils of certain plants such as chia and pumpkin seeds, flax, Sea Buckthorn Berry oil, green leafy vegetables, and Algaes such as chlorella & spirulina. All green foods are rich in chlorophyll which contain alpha-linolenic acid in their chloroplasts (this is another reason grass fed beef is more nutritious). – Healing with Whole Foods by Paul Pitchford. We only need about 1-1.5g of ALA’s, no real need to supplement with seed oils. More importantly, and in a very small nutshell, Omega-3 oils from fatty 
fish are more easily metabolized within humans: wild Alaskan salmon, sardines, anchovy, herring and mackerel. This article explains in detail how Omega 3 (n-3) very long chain fatty acids function and where they are linked to certain health or clinical benefits.

Brain and Nervous System: EFAs (docosahexaenoic acid / DHA particularly) are key components of both brain tissue and nerves (myelin sheath). Essential for people with diseases of the nervous system and especially important for pregnant and postpartum women because of the role in development, and maintenance for brain and nervous system health.

Allergies: All allergic reactions, not just seasonal allergies; Omega 3 oils found in fish or cod liver oil can be extremely helpful for reducing allergies because of their potent anti-inflammatory effect. Omega 3 oils have a systemic effect on the body and can reduce both allergic and cardiovascular inflammation. Cod liver oil contains extra vitamin A and vitamin D for added immune support.
Cardiovascular System: The nutshell of the abundant information regarding the heart and blood vessels is that EFAs are basically a cleaner and help blood move freely through the system. Vitamin E, C and niacin also clean the arteries beautifully.
Immune System: Fish oils in particular have been shown to support immune cell function. A 2018 pilot study featured in The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry demonstrated that it specifically supported B-cells. B-cells fight bacterial and viral infections.
All Oils: Most Important! Keep all oils refrigerated to avoid rancidity.
Fish Oils: check the label to find out where the oil comes from – cleanliness
And acupuncture is a modality that is vey well known to decrease systemic inflammation. I found this recent research : https://www.harvardmagazine.com/2021/01/right-now-acupuncture-relieves-inflammation
Research on acupuncture and moxibustion is always interesting because historically, the research is through observation that a condition is ameliorated through treatment.

Inflammation is the root of illness, and stress and toxicity can be the seed of inflammation. Sometimes the system needs support, Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids have proven to be helpful.
