Going with the flow
Your lymphatic system is vitally important in removing toxic substances from your cells and in combating the spread of disease in your body.
Throughout the lymphatic system are tiny bean-shaped glands called lymph nodes which contain large quantities of white blood cells that attack and destroy foreign bacteria.
When we have an infection the activity of these nodes is sometimes noticed as pain and or swelling as they tackle the problem.
The lymph system has tiny one-way valves that flow only in one direction. Also lymph is not pumped like blood but instead relies on movements of the body. Stress, cold tense muscles, inactivity or illness can impede the free flow of the lymphatic system.
Gentle self massage, warm epson salt baths, gentle stretches, yoga, walking, laughter, dance, play, breathing exercises, meditation (in short- movement in consciousness and of the body) together with a pure diet, fresh juices and pure water will all help to restore normal healthy function to a vital part of your Divine design.
Remember though it’s wise to seek professional advice for any lumps or swelling.
