The Spleen, Lymphatic Congestion & Detoxing
The Spleen — what does it do? Filters your blood, stores red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. It’s a key organ in your immune system: it produces lymphocytes, destroys old/used blood cells. If your spleen has issues you may have anemia, pallor, a poor memory or general sluggishness, and experience frequent infections.
The Lymph System — is made up of lymphatic vessels, nodes, the thymus gland, tonsils and spleen. It collects tissue fluid not needed by the body (capillaries/skin) and returns it to the heart for circulation. Lymph glands contain white blood cells. Lymphatic vessels found throughout the body drain waste products from tissues. The best way to get the lymph system working is to drink water with lemon in the morning, carry out resistance exercises and diaphragmatic breathing.
Are You Considering A Detox?
Issues like frequent infections, skin/rash issues, congestion, fatigue, brain fog, allergies and more can improve with a detox.
Lymphatic congestion can happen over time with stress, poor diet and lack of exercise — when this happens the system becomes blocked and waste accumulates. The result is inflammation and poor immune function. Besides the basics of drinking water, moving your body, going non-toxic and easing up on stress and worry — consider a homeopathic or herbal kit that includes lymph and spleen support. Consider using a dry body brush as well, which can aid in circulation and drainage.
