What Are The Lymphatics?
The lymph is an extension of your immune system. You can see it as extra fluid that is separate from your blood and extracted into the lymphatics as blood moves around the circulatory system. The lymph is continuously filtered of toxins, wastes and possible immune challenges and helps the body respond to invading pathogens.
What Organs are Part of the Lymphatic System?
The lymph relies on organs such as the spleen, appendix, thymus, tonsils, & adenoids.
The health of your lymph is crucial in a healthy immune response, fat distribution and nutrition/waste transport to cells.
Detoxing Your Lymphatic System
Detoxification requires healthy lymphatics, if you are not detoxing optimally you will need to work with an integrated practitioner to nourish and optimise the detox organs: gut, liver, kidneys, and skin before lymphatics can be improved, these 2 systems work hand in hand.
Lymphatic Support Tips
Supporting your lymphatics is just as important as taking care of the rest of your body. Some general lymph support can include:
- Regular movement as lymphatics rely on muscle contraction within the body
- Adequate fluids for the day, roughly 3L of clean drinking water (you can include some herbal teas.)
- Take a trip to the sauna.
- Weekly dry brushing or self-massage in the direction of the lymphatics.
- Daily mindfulness practice to relax the nervous system (deep breathing, yoga, stretching, meditation.)
