Root cause B1 · METRON R — Resolution of inflammation

🔥 Chronic Inflammation

A low, steady internal fire the body never fully puts out, quietly wearing down tissues over years.

How it works

Short bursts of inflammation are how the body repairs itself. When the signal never switches off — because of a modern diet, poor sleep, excess weight, stress or a troubled gut — the same chemistry that heals begins to wear on joints, blood vessels, skin and brain.

Signs you might recognise

  • Aching joints that are stiff in the morning
  • Skin that flares easily
  • Puffiness and water retention
  • Fatigue that rest does not fix
  • Recurring gum, sinus or throat irritation

Tests your doctor can use

Farmicine never diagnoses. These are the markers a clinician typically looks at for this pattern; bring them to your consultation.

hs-CRPESROmega-3 indexFerritin (as an inflammatory marker)

Three phases of the plan

  1. Calm — remove the daily triggers: refined oils, sugar, ultra-processed food, poor sleep
  2. Rebuild — omega-3-rich foods, colourful plants, curcumin with black pepper and fat
  3. Resolve — keep the gains with movement, weight steadiness and a resilient gut

Foods that address the pattern

  • Fatty fish or algal oil
  • Turmeric with black pepper and ghee
  • Berries, amla and pomegranate
  • Leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables
  • Extra-virgin olive oil, nuts and seeds

Maintenance after 90 days: A daily low-dose curcumin and omega-3 pairing, and a plate built around colour.

🐟 Omega-3 for Indian Vegetarians: EPA, DHA and ALA

The Indian plate is reliably short of omega-3, and the vegetarian plate more so, because flax and walnut ALA converts only in small part to the EPA and DHA the body uses. This guide explains the difference, why refined cooking oils make it worse, how fish and algal oil compare, and what the omega-3 index measures.

🔥 hs-CRP and ESR: Inflammation Blood Tests Explained

hs-CRP and ESR are the two inflammation markers most Indian labs offer, and both are easy to over-read. This guide explains what each measures, why a raised value needs context, how the numbers connect to the Chronic Inflammation pattern and the omega-3 index, and when a retest actually means something.

Root causes & philosophy

🌱 The Twelve Root Causes of Ill Health, Explained (B1–B12)

Most everyday health complaints trace back to a small number of underlying patterns. This guide explains Farmicine's twelve root causes, B1 to B12, in one paragraph each, shows how a symptom such as fatigue maps to several of them, lists the labs a doctor can use to tell them apart, and describes how solution packages are built on the result.

When to see a doctor. Farmicine is wellness education, not medical advice. If a symptom is new, severe, persistent, or you take prescription medicine, are pregnant or care for a child, speak with a doctor first.
