Clean your lymphatics for immune health and disease prevention
You’ve probably heard of lymphatic cleansing or drainage. People talk about it because a congested lymphatic system makes you prone to infections and disease, and some unpleasant symptoms.
This is because your lymphatic system is vital to your immune system. Its main role is to keep your fluid levels in balance while protecting you from infections, bacteria, cancers and other threats.
Your lymphatic system is similar to your circulatory system, but lymph vessels are smaller than your veins. Yet it has stop valves to ensure fluids flow to the right place, and includes organs like your tonsils, spleen, thymus and adenoids.
What causes this system to block up?
Chronic stress
Inflammation
Digestive imbalances
Dehydration
Nutrient deficiencies e.g. iodine, magnesium, vit C
