Your lymphatic system is one of the most powerful yet overlooked aspects of health. It’s constantly working behind the scenes—filtering waste, moving immune cells, and maintaining fluid balance. But here’s the thing: it has no pump.
That means if we’re not actively supporting it, things can slow down, leading to stagnation, swelling, fatigue, and a weakened immune response.
This is exactly why I recorded this lecture for you. Today, we’re going deep—breaking down how the lymphatic system works, why it’s essential, how to tell if your lymph flow needs support, and the best natural strategies to keep things moving.
What You’ll Learn in This Lecture:
✔ The anatomy of the lymphatic system and how it functions beyond just “drainage.”
✔ Its role in immunity—why sluggish lymph flow means a sluggish immune response.
✔ Signs of lymphatic stagnation—what to watch for and why swelling isn’t always a lymph issue.
✔ How to differentiate true lymphatic congestion from other types of edema (because not all fluid retention is lymph-related!).
✔ The best natural ways to support lymphatic flow—before even reaching for herbs.
✔ A breakdown of the top lymphatic herbs, including Calendula, Cleavers, Echinacea, and Poke Root.
