The lymphatic system includes organs and tissues that help eliminate waste products, toxins, cancer cells, and other substances. 

 

The lymphatic system works by moving fluid (called lymph or lymph fluid) around the body. This fluid sweeps away cellular waste, invaders, and toxins to the liver and kidneys to be processed and eliminated. 

The lymph system does not have a "pump" to move lymph fluid through the body the way the cardiovascular system does. Instead, it is squeezed through the body by muscle contractions and other movements. 

 

Because the lymphatic system relies on bodily movement to pump lymph fluid, a sedentary lifestyle can contribute to lymphatic congestion.  

 

The lymphatic system supports every system in the body including the digestive system, nervous system, and respiratory system. And plays an important role in: 

 

The immune system – The lymphatic system produces, stores, and carries white blood cells through the body in the lymph fluid. 

 

Fluid balance – It maintains fluid balance between tissues and blood. The cardiovascular system leaks fluid and the lymph system absorbs and redistributes excess fluid. 

 

Fat and fat-soluble vitamin absorption – The lymphatic system regulates this absorption and delivers nutrients to the cells. 

Herbalist's Message

As with any natural or herbal product, the key is consistency and patience. People are used to quick fixes and that approach is just not the case when trying to make the changes necessary for a healthier lifestyle.

 

People who use herbs as symptom-relieving remedies will often be disappointed as most herbs don't target specific biochemical reactions to create rapid changes. Instead, herbs work with the body in extremely complex ways to bring about balance in the body. 

 

It is important to note that herbs will not make up for lack of sleep, dehydration or a diet filled with processed and refined foods.

Plants can be powerful allies, when used responsibly.

Although most herbal preparations are safe and effective, it is important to note that there may be potential side effects (allergies) and individual results may vary.

There is no way to know any particular body will react to any substance. When you are taking herbs, you are your own primary care giver and you must be vigilant of your own health.  Consult with an herbalist or primary care provider and do your research, so that you can become an knowledgable and compassionate caretake of your own body.
