So, today . . . let's refresh our memory about the important "lymphatic system" . . . and learn about some "herbs" that can help to "stimulate" detoxification of the body.
Okay . . . so, as we know . . . the "lymphatic system" is made up of "nodes" . . . vessels . . . ducts . . . and glands.
And this being one of the "MOST" important "elimination" systems of the body . . . can help to eliminate waste and toxins from our cells.
It can also "control" the flow of "bacteria fighting" immune cells . . . like our T cells we spoke of a few weeks ago . . .
And with that being said . . . one of the most "natural" ways to help "drain" our lymphatic system would be with . . . "HERBS" . . .
You see . . . "herbs" not only have the ability to help unclog the lymphatic system . . . they can also help reduce any swelling and pain . . . while "boosting" the immune system.
Okay . . . so what are some of the best "lymphatic drainage" herbs you ask???
Well . . . they would be . . .
"Astragalus" - has several cleansing and healing benefits to the body like . . . easing congestion and swelling. And is good for an all around . . . all year health booster.
"Calendula officinalis" - has a wide variety of uses including reducing swollen "lymph nodes" and has anti-inflammatory properties
"Echinacea" - which has properties that have a powerful immune-enhancing effect . . . due to being an "adaptogen herb". It can reduce inflammation, swelling and congestion of the lymphatic system. (This is one of my favorites)
"Cleaver" - enhances the function of the "lymphatic system" . . . and improves its ability to "flush out" toxins . . . decrease congestion . . . and reduce swelling.
(This is also one of my favorites)
"Dandelion" - is used as a detoxifying and purifying agent . . . and is great for cleansing the lymphatic system of any pollutant built-up waste in the body.
"Devil's Claw" - has "lymph" stimulating properties that are important for improving the lymphatic system
"Goldenseal" - is an anti-inflammatory that boosts the cleansing process of the lymphatic system
"Knotted Figwort" - treats swelling and inflammation of lymph nodes, ears, nose and respiratory system.
"Wild Indigo Root" - helps to clean the lymphatic system and rid the body of any damaging microbes and waste . . . by reducing glandular swelling.
"Wolf's Foot Clubmoss" - is also used for reducing swollen lymph nodes and tonsils . . . treating ear infections . . . inflammation throughout the body . . . and is a good liver support .
NOW . . . as always . . . PLEASE CONSULT YOUR OWN HEALTHCARE PROVIDER BEFORE TAKING ANY NEW HERBS!!!!
NOTE: Many "herbs" are "adaptogens" . . . which means . . . they can "ALTER" the way any "conventional medicine" you are already taking . . . can "act" and "react" . . .
This meaning . . . some "herbs" can make your "conventional medicine" be . . . MORE POTENT . . . or "LESS POTENT" and effective!!!
So tomorrow . . . let's talk about some of the foods that are good for detoxing the "lymphatic system".
