Expert Tips for a Healthy Lymphatic System

What is the importance of the Lymphatic system?

Immunity – Supports your immunity by dealing with pathogens and cancer cells.

Fluid Balance – Rids your body of waste and fluids by running parallel to your circulatory system and maintaining your body’s fluid balance.

Nutrient Absorption – Absorbs fats, fat-soluble vitamins and proteins from your intestine, where you have intestinal lymph nodes.

Symptoms of stagnant lymph or lymphatic system problems can include:

  • Swelling of tissues (often happens in legs, hands, feet, and can happen in your arms as well, which may not be water and could be swelling of fatty tissue)
  • Pain – this could include fibromyalgia, the fat that is painful to the touch
  • Feeling of heaviness in your legs
  • Lymphedema (non-symmetric swelling of a limb, which occurs after some cancer treatments)
  • Fat disorders, like lipedema or Dercum’s disease
  • Circulatory problems (including venous insufficiency, spider veins, varicose veins)
  • Lower legs look purple
  • Loss of feeling in hands or feet
  • Edema (generalized water retention)
