Are you looking to restore your health and feel better? Dealing with nagging colds? Bloating and digestive Issues? Skin problems or sinus infections? Chronic fatigue, brain fog or depression?
These are common signs that toxins are building up in your body and your lymphatic system needs some support.
The lymphatic system runs alongside the circulatory system and contains hundreds of lymphatic vessels and small nodes that are located throughout the body. This system carries a clear fluid, known as lymph throughout the body. Lymphatic fluid helps to deliver vital white blood cells throughout the body which help to fight disease. But lymph fluid is also where toxins are deposited from the body to be filtered by the lymph nodes.
The lymphatic system is a vital part of our immune system and when it becomes clogged and the lymphatic fluid is not allowed to flow freely, it compromises your immune system and allows toxins to build up. The resulting buildup of toxins can cause symptoms and can ultimately lead to infection and disease.
There are certain things that you can do to activate your lymphatic system and get it flowing and removing toxins again.
