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.
