Quick remedy: Cold water rinse your brain with cold water every 6 hours for 5 minutes will cold down the pain and inflammation
Dr. Jawad talks about how you can reduce brain inflammation and the various causes that is causing it.
Is your brain on fire with inflammation? The brain doesn’t hurt like an inflamed knee does, so it’s hard to know if inflammation is happening. However, the brain communicates inflammation in how it makes you feel.
One of the most common symptoms of brain inflammation is brain fog, that feeling of slow and fuzzy thinking. Other common brain inflammation symptoms include depression anxiety, irritability, anger, memory loss, and fatigue. Even getting a song stuck in your head is a symptom.
Of course, other factors can cause these symptoms, but an inflamed and thus quickly degenerating brain is often involved in brain-based symptoms.
One of the most common symptoms of brain inflammation is brain fog. Why is this? Inflammation in the brain slows down firing between neurons. Thus the overall operation of the brain slows down. This is what causes your brain function to be foggy, dull, and slow.
In the case of depression, inflammatory immune cells called cytokines hamper brain function and the activity of serotonin a brain chemical needed to feel joy and well-being. For example, depression is a common side effect with the anti-viral drug interferon, which raises cytokine levels.
Also, brain imaging and autopsies show brain inflammation is more common in individuals with autism.
It’s important to take brain inflammation seriously — inflammation in the brain damages and destroys brain cells, speeding aging and atrophy of your brain. This raises your risk for dementia, Alzheimer’s (brain inflammation increases amyloid beta), Parkinson’s and other degenerative brain diseases.
It’s very important to know why your brain is inflamed because this will point you in the right direction to address it and relieve symptoms.
One of the more common causes of brain inflammation is an injury to the head. A brain injury causes the brain’s immune cells, which are different from those in the body, to begin the healing process and removal of dead and damaged neurons.
However, immune cells in the brain do not turn off, especially if there are already other imbalances in the body. This means inflammation in the brain can continue long after injury. This is one reason football players have brain-related issues long after they retire.
Other causes of brain inflammation include:
Chronic inflammation in the body
Leaky gut
High blood sugar and diabetes
Hormone imbalances
Food intolerances (gluten is notorious)
Chronic stress
Brain autoimmunity — a disorder in which the immune system attacks and damages brain tissue. It is more common than people realize.
