Lymphatic Detoxification 

A healthy lymphatic system equals a healthy immune system! 

The lymph travels with the nerves, arteries and veins and is by itself twice as big as the arterial blood supply system – and maybe twice as important. 

The lymphatic system is an extremely important system of our body, and perhaps the most forgotten and least studied and understood system of the body. The lymphatic system is a network of ducts, nodes and fluid. It is like the garbage collector in the body, draining excess fluid and toxins that accumulate in tissues and organs. It also delivers water, proteins, lipids, white blood cells, hormones, nutrients and waste into the blood stream. These nodes also help in conveying antibodies into the muscles, making our bodies stronger and more resistant to fatigue. Lymph nodes play a significant role in our immune system, which often people forget to pay attention to. 

A healthy lymphatic system means a healthy immune system. On the other hand, a deficient lymphatic circulation may weaken and intoxicate the body, creating various health issues such as poor breast health, swelling, weight gain, skin problems, premature aging, and even pain. 

The lymphatic system is not capable of pumping toxins out of these nodes alone and heavily relies on muscle activity or other. 

Major Causes Of Lymphatic Congestion

• It has been identified that 80% of all chronic health issues are related to STRESS which is degenerative and causes lymph congestion.

• Cold hands and feet 
• Soreness and/or stiffness in the morning
