The lymphatic system is our body’s secondary circulatory system, comprising of a vast network of vessels. Its primary functions are to maintain body fluid levels, remove toxins and wastes, as well as carry fatty acids away from the intestines. This is why it is also called our body’s ‘sewerage system.’ In addition, the lymphatic system plays a vital role in producing immune cells to fight unwanted invaders. Therefore, although it is not as well known as the cardiovascular circulatory system, the lymphatic system is crucial for our overall health. For more information, watch this 9-min video explaining the lymphatic system.
A healthy lymphatic system depends on having a smooth lymph circulation. When this circulation slows down, blockages, toxins and fluid retention will be built up, leading to swelling, inflammation, body aches and pains and weaker immunity. Unfortunately, the lymphatic system does not have a powerful pump like that of our heart to drive the circulation. It only has the help of the valves’ movements and muscle contractions in the lymphatic vessels to maintain forward lymph flow. Therefore, our lymphatic system needs stimulation to keep its optimal functioning. Drinking plenty of water, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy balanced diet and practicing deep breathing can boost your lymphatic health on a daily basis. If you feel sluggish and need extra care, you should get a lymphatic drainage massage, which applies pressure in specific ways to target lymph nodes and vessels. A sauna session will also help stimulate circulation and sweat out toxins from within your body.
Lymphedema
Lymphedema is a condition in which swelling occurs on part or all of your arms or legs, including fingers and toes. It may change the size of your limbs noticeably and come with a feeling of heaviness, restricted range of movement, body aches, recurrent infections and/or thickening of the skin. Lymphedema is the result of a disruption to the lymphatic system, undermining its ability to filter excess fluid and wastes out of your body. As at today, there is no cure for lymphedema. However, there are a number of ways to relieve the symptoms and manage this condition, including gentle exercise and manual lymphatic drainage massage.
