Moving Your Lymphatic System
Wonder why your so puffy and swollen ?
Your lymphatic system is part of your immune system. It moves lymph fluid through vessels and lymph nodes to remove waste, toxins, and excess fluid from tissues.
Key parts include
✅Lymph vessels
✅Lymph nodes
✅Organs like the spleen and thymus
Unlike blood, lymph doesn’t have a pump
like the heart. It moves mainly through:
✅Muscle movement
✅Body motion
✅Breathing
✅External stimulation (like massage)
Dry Brushing may be one way to release stagnation—
How to dry brush correctly 🪥
Start with dry skin before showering.
Use a natural bristle body brush.
Begin at your feet and brush upward toward the heart.
Use long strokes on limbs and circular motions on joints and abdomen.
Brush gently for 3–10 minutes.
Shower afterward and apply moisturizer or body oil.
How often
2–4 times per week is typical.
If your skin tolerates it well, some people do it daily.
Areas to avoid ⚠️
Broken or irritated skin
Sunburn
Varicose veins
Active skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis
Important technique tips
✔ Use light pressure (lymph vessels sit just under the skin).
