The Lymph System:

• Network of vessels and nodes similar to the circulatory system

• Moves when we move

• Restricts when we lay for too long, or wear tight clothing

• Lymph from head to toe

• Lymph nodes around areas that have joints

• 50% of lymph is in the gut

• 3x more lymph fluid than the blood

• Excretes toxins

• Breath actually releases the highest level of toxins compared to other functions of the body such as, sweat, urine, etc.

• Spleen is the largest lymphatic organ in the body

• Thymus gland is a lymphatic organ

• Appendix is a lymphatic organ 

• Small intestines are a lymphatic organ

• These serve to filter the body

 

Issues with Lymph can appear in a number of ways:

• Constipation, asthma, sinus issues, sleep issues, menstrual cycle is off, headaches, chronic fatigue can all indicate unhealthy lymph function

  • Can get overrun if our lifestyles are too toxic 

• Areas under the skin should feel smooth to the touch, not grainy or feel as if there tiny seeds under the skin

• Get out there and sweat

• Can be healed if not a severe case of stagnancy 

• Manually pumping lymph can be helpful

• Sometimes a practitioner is needed if chronically ill

• Maintaining  good lymph flow is a great preventative action against sickness and disease
