THE UNDERRATED LYMPHATIC SYSTEM

Your lymphatic system is little known for the amount it does to keep your body in check. It cleanses the metabolic waste from your everyday body processes and when it gets blocked or backed up can cause swelling, a compromised immune system, and skin conditions, to name a few. Because it doesn’t have a pump and relies solely on breath and movement to clear, it can easily get congested with our more sedentary lifestyles.

Treatments like the incredible cellular stimulation offering by Ricari Studios is an amazing way to help flush your system. My experience was pretty profound after just one session. As the sensitive creature I am —to literally everything in life — I had to take a nap after to let my body rest and process. There are also great self-lymphatic drainage techniques you can do to support your lymph flow —and help swelling or bruising resolve more easily. This series of videos is old-school and hilarious, but effective.

The techniques are all very light and gentle, but similar to energy modalities, move waste through the body to process so you may want to start slow to avoid overwhelming your system. Walking or exercise that involves the whole body afterwards will help pump things through and like anything that’s pulling toxins drink lots of H2O!
