Let’s start our lymphatic system series with the basics.
What is the lymphatic system?
The lymphatic system is a large network that runs throughout your entire body. It works as your body’s natural cleansing and drainage system, collecting toxins, excess fluid, waste and supporting your immune response.
It’s made of
• lymphatic vessels
• lymph fluid
• lymph nodes
• organs like the spleen and thymus
When it’s functioning well, you may feel
• reduced bloating
• lighter body sensation
• better post surgery recovery
• brighter, healthier skin
• more balanced immunity
When it’s not working well, the body speaks
• swelling
• heavy legs
• fatigue
• stiffness
• slower recovery
• slower digestion
This series will help you understand how your lymphatic system works and how to support it in your daily routine.
