How to stimulate your lymphatic system

We are exposed to up to 82,000 different toxins every day! If the body somehow fails to detoxify itself, it leads to a build-up of toxins and this in itself is an overload of toxins in the body, which in turn puts a strain on all the body's vital organs and prevents them from functioning optimally. This is where the lymphatic system comes in - as it purifies the fluids surrounding the cells by eliminating impurities and other waste products, it helps cells, tissues and all organs to detoxify and function properly.

The lymph is one of the body's major cleansing organs and an important part of our immune system that protects us against disease and other damage. The lymphatic system is important for tissue repair and regulation/control of inflammation in the body's organs.
Insufficient flow in the lymphatic system leads to a weakened immune system and, in the worst case, tumors in the lymph nodes. Inflammation, pain, edema are usually a cry for help from the body, a signal that the body cannot handle any more strain.

Why do I need to support the lymph?
Lymph fluid is viscous and moves about 300 times slower than blood. The lymphatic system does not have its own pump and needs stimulation to circulate properly. Lymph moves mostly when we use our muscles. When the lymphatic system does not function optimally, it can cause major problems in the body. Symptoms such as a heavy feeling in the body, swelling, pain, poor blood circulation, recurring headaches or sleep problems are some signs that can indicate a stagnant lymphatic system.

So what do you do yourself?

• Movement and exercise (walking and yoga are enough)
• Ironing and self-massage
• Deep panding
• Dry brushing
• Sauna bath
• Cupping massage with Acu Cups*
• Lymphatic massage
• Herbs and essential oils
• Compression stockings

*Acu Cups in combination with Essential Oil
In dense connective tissue , more waste products accumulate, but through the vacuum created with Acu Cups, blood flow increases by up to 70%, which increases fluid flow and a major cleansing process begins.

Tip! Add 2-3 drops of our DETOX essential oil to 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, massage into the body and use Acu Cups, so nice and effective! Dissolves lactic acid and provides deep lymphatic drainage!

Complement cupping with a good and healthy diet, regular exercise, dry brushing and sauna bathing. It is important that you drink plenty of water afterwards as the excretion of toxins in the body increases.
