Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic System
We can’t live without it. It is the secondary system of the circulation in the body. Its job is to clean and nourish our cells. Our Lymph is a clear fluid containing nutrients and oxygen. The cells are able to discard waste and toxic materials into this fluid. Our lymphatic vessels pick up the waste and any excess fluid from around the cells. It transports it to the lymph nodes and the lymph nodes filter it back into circulation.
Most common reasons for poor Lymphatic flow:
Well, it is the way we live. Lack of exercise causes our lymphatic fluid to be weak, so they unable to push through the body. Our poor diet causes the lymph’s to be congested and can produce more waste and make our lymph’s work harder. Then there are pollutants, unfortunately, our environment is not at its best at all time so it does affect our lymph’s nodes. Damage to our bodies like surgery and trauma and pregnancy are more reasons to have poor lymphatic flow.
