Histamine, Swelling and the Lymphatic
System.
Most women who struggle with puffiness, swelling, itching, sinus pressure or “water retention for no reason” have NO idea that histamine and the lymphatic system are working together.
This is one of the most powerful connections in the body. The Link and one of the least understood.
No One Talks About
Let’s gently break it down in a way that finally makes sense.
What Is Histamine, Really?
Histamine is not the enemy.
It is a messenger molecule used by the immune system, gut and brain.
Your body releases histamine when it needs to:
• stimulate immune responses
• increase blood flow
• help digestion
• wake up the nervous system
• protect you
The problem isn’t histamine itself.
The problem is when your lymph can’t clear it. The Lymphatic System Clears Histamine
Every time your body releases histamine, it must eventually be transported away through the lymphatic vessels.
If lymph flow is slow, overwhelmed or stagnant, histamine becomes trapped in the tissues.
This leads to symptoms many women experience dailistamine, Swelling
• puffy eyes in the morning
• facial swelling
• sinus pressure
• itching or tingling sensations n
• hives or redness
• “mystery” swelling after certain foods
• tight rings or puffy hands
• bloating after meals
This is NOT your body reacting randomly.
It is your lymphatic system saying:
“I can’t keep up.” Do you suffer from one or few those symptoms? Act now- book your pressotherapy appointment and experience quality life again- consultation or to book 07920445159.
