The immune system often uses inflammation to fight infections and repair damaged tissues. However, chronic inflammation can be dangerous and cause a variety of medical conditions. By itself, coumarin possesses at least a minor ability to prevent inflammation. Unfortunately, because this quality requires more testing, there are no coumarin-based anti-inflammatory medications available for public use. However, people can potentially receive non-dangerous levels of coumarin to treat many issues, including inflammation.
