Inadequate drainage of the lymphatic system results in impaired immune system, or even tumors in the lymph nodes. Find out how to detoxify your body and ensure proper functioning of the lymphatic system.
1. Avoid the soda:
Leave aside the artificial coloring drinks, or the fruit juices containing large amounts of refined sugar.
These sugar-laden drinks, dyes and preservatives further deplete your lymphatic system.
2. Drinking water:
Your body needs water to stay hydrated, so your lymphatic fluid circulates properly. A good rule is to drink 6 to 8 glasses of filtered or purified water a day.
3. Herbal teas:
Certain herbs such as astragalus, echinacea, goldenseal, pokeroot or wild indigo have the ability to clean the lymphatic system and can be drunk regularly to facilitate the process of detoxification.
4. Avoid nylon and polyester clothes:
Opt for all natural fibers that allow the skin to breathe, such as cotton, hemp, wool or silk.
5. Beaver oil:
Just apply a little castor oil on the lower abdomen. Take a folded cotton cloth in several layers and castor oil in cold-pressed oil. Dip the fabric in the oil and apply it to the skin. You can let it work all night long. Castor oil will increase the circulation of lymphatic fluids, reduce inflammation and improve your digestive system.
6. Breathe deeply:
Breathe not only in your chest, but in your belly. This will help you stay in a more "yogi" type of condition, quieter and less responsive, and deeper breathing will also help your lymphatic fluids move better.
7. Nuts and seeds:
Eat raw, unsalted nuts and seeds to increase supply to your lymphatic system
with adequate fatty acids. They include: nuts, almonds, hazelnuts,
macadamias, Brazil nuts, flax seeds, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds.
