Your lymphatic system is a very important system in the human body. We educate on it daily at the store because so many people come to us lymphatically congested and dealing with chronic throat, sinus and ear congestion/issues. The lymph system works directly with the immune system and if one is not happy, then neither of them are.

The lymphatic system is really the sewer system of the human body and assists the immune system by moving toxins out of the body which is really important! Imagine if the city sewer systems were backed up even for a day…it would quickly become a problem allowing sewage to sit stagnate, back up and rot (not to mention stink!). So keeping your lymph moving forward is really a wise thing to do and your immune system will thank you!

Exercise, Vit C, and the lymphatic moving herbs like red root, ocotillo, stillingia, turkey rhubarb and sheep sorrel (yes, we carry all of them) all help the lymphatic system move in the right direction assisting the daily healthy movement of the bowel…it’s all connected and one affects the other. Often we work with people that have one bowel movement a week and the other day a woman asked for help; she’s had one bowel movement every two to three weeks of her Life and her doctors told her that was her norm. Trust me…that’s no one’s norm.

Poor diet laden with sugar, dairy and refined carbs are some of the most congesting and insulting things for the lymphatic system to deal with because they are highly refined so as always…getting rid of junk is essential.

Our human body is an incredible machine with a perfect design so the more we learn to understand how it functions, the more we can help ourselves on the road to reclaiming our health safely and effectively. Peace.

The last couple years have really shown me that most people just want the same thing out of Life for their family and everybody else’s…to be able to live each day in a peaceful, productive, feeling good and prosperous way. At the end of the day, people just want to feel safe, be nourished and know they’re cared about. Sounds like a great way to live! What has become very clear to me though is how many different perspectives there are to reaching those goals. It’s been a terrific reminder that we all come from our own perspective in Life and see things totally different.

Most people look to the system to “fix” the challenges we face but it’s fair to say the system needs to be fixed itself so it’s the last place we should all be looking. In Truth, the more we look to ourselves, the farther we’re gonna get ’cause that’s our collective power for positive change.

I will always stand on the side of individuals creating the change from the family/home outward, rather than the other way around. The more we direct our attention and dedication to our health…the greater positive impact for everyone. Imagine if everyone encouraged themselves and others to stop drinking pop or eating some kind of junk each day…that alone would make a tremendous change and best of all…it doesn’t cost anyone a dime. In fact, it does the opposite by saving families money. The end result is family members feel better and the money saved can be redirected into what’s really important and necessary for their well being and I think everyone could use a little of that right about now. So be cool, stop purchasing junk, encourage others to do the same, feel better, save money and most of all…embrace your power! Peace
