How to clean lymph at home

The human lymphatic system is closely connected with the circulatory system, supplementing it and interacting with it. The fluid circulating in the lymphatic vessels is called lymph. The movement is slow, with little pressure. Lymph carries out important functions: it enriches tissue fluid with immune cells, transports into the bloodstream, and participates in metabolic processes. Removes toxins and toxins from tissue structures.

The lymphatic system consists of the following components:

• Vessels (including capillaries, trunks and ducts).
• Nodes
• Tissues and organs (tonsils, spleen, thymus, lymphoid tissue of the intestine, etc.).

Participating in the processes of life, the lymphatic system is subjected to slagging. That is why various methods of cleaning lymph at home are in demand.

When and why do I need to clean my lymphatic system

The low speed of lymph circulation contributes to the delay in it of toxins and toxic substances, "clogging" of the lymphatic channel. The situation is aggravated by physical inactivity, adverse environmental conditions, metabolic disorders, obesity, bad habits.

Negative factors contribute to premature deterioration of the body, therefore, healing techniques become urgent, and among them is the cleaning of the lymphatic system.

Signs indicating the body's need for lymph cleansing:

• Edema in different parts of the body.
• Numbness and discomfort in the limbs.
• Decreased skin elasticity, the appearance of cavities and tubercles.
• A sharp change in body weight, obesity.
• The appearance of frequent headaches.

Lymphatic cleansing is desirable during body shaping, weight loss, rejuvenation, detoxification procedures.

Most of the cleansing methods are safe, fast and effective, but some procedures have contraindications for serious diseases. This requires prior consultation with your doctor.

Absolute contraindications to the procedure are:

• Malignant diseases;
• Acute thrombotic processes in the body;
• Heart or kidney failure;

To exclude contraindications, it is mandatory to undergo a medical examination: measure blood pressure, check the pulse rate, and take general blood and urine tests. This will avoid unpleasant surprises.

Effective folk methods

Folk methods of lymph cleansing appeared long before the discovery of the lymphatic system. The people knew the healing properties of these methods for various ailments, but their relationship with lymph was revealed later.

Medicinal herbs

There are plants, infusions and decoctions of which contribute to the purification of blood vessels. This is saber, marjoram, sorrel, St. John's wort, acacia, nettle, horse chestnut and many others.

Prepare a herbal collection of white acacia flowers, Jerusalem artichoke, stems and yarrow leaves, nettle leaves, thyme, marjoram, St. John's wort, sage inflorescences and horsetail leaves. Chopping and mixing all these herbs, make them an infusion. Pour a glass of boiling water over one tablespoon of the resulting mass, strain and drink in small portions. Take one glass a day.

Another way is to use an infusion of dandelion roots: 2 teaspoons of chopped roots is poured with a glass of boiling water. Boil for 5 minutes, insist an hour. Infusion is drunk three times a day before meals.

Natural juices

To this end, help juices of citrus fruits: grapefruit, lemon and orange. Thanks to natural organic acids and vitamins, they contribute to the activation of lymphatic drainage processes.

The procedure begins in the morning and is carried out as follows: take the juice of 4 grapefruits, 3 lemons and 5-6 oranges. Dilute with a liter of water and drink one glass every hour until it is over. We again prepare the juice and repeat the procedure.

We continue for three days. In the evenings, you can still do a cleansing enema. A few days after the procedure, it is advisable to eat plant foods.

Garlic, onion and lemon

Garlic, onion and lemon are widely used in various recipes of traditional medicine. In order to cleanse the vessels of the lymphatic system, one bulb, a head of garlic and one lemon are taken along with the peel. The ingredients are finely chopped, mixed, and then poured into a liter of boiling milk. The broth boils for several minutes (milk is curled when lemon is added). Filter the result, cool and drink half a glass in the morning and evening, half an hour before meals. Keep it in the fridge. The duration of admission is 3-4 days, and these days you need to avoid dairy products.

Tibetan lymph cleaning

The recipe is based on the use of alcohol tinctures of celandine, apple, carrot and beetroot juices. Celandine is passed through a meat grinder and squeezed juice out of it, filtering. 70 ml of alcohol and 450 ml of juice are mixed. On the first day, take 1 drop before breakfast, 2 drops before lunch and 3 drops before dinner. Then daily add 1 drop at each dose. After reaching the morning dosage of 15 drops, the amount of tincture is reduced in the reverse order, bringing to 1 drop. In addition to tincture of celandine, carrot-apple juice is mixed with beetroot in a ratio of 4: 1, they are drunk 150-200 ml before meals.

Sauna or bath

For a long time, a sauna with a nettle broom, a sauna with a steam room and a swimming pool, a Turkish bath and so on have long and firmly entered. They may differ among different nations, but one thing unites them - thermal procedures improve blood circulation, metabolism, and improve lymphatic drainage.

To achieve the effect, the procedures are repeated several times a week for a month. The result will be better if you make up for the loss of fluid not with ordinary water, but with fresh juices.

Bloodletting and Leeches

In ancient times, bloodletting was done for any reason - against migraine, bodily pain, fatigue, weakness, and increased irritability. Now this method is rarely used, since the arsenal of therapeutic agents in medicine has expanded significantly. Nevertheless, bloodletting remains an effective method. By removing some of the blood, tension is removed from the blood and lymph channels, and the blood is replenished and renewed.

Technically, bloodletting is carried out in various ways: through injection punctures, shallow skin incisions, or using medical leeches. The use of leeches - hirudotherapy - an effective method, although unpleasant. Leeches release substances in the blood that contribute to its dilution, thereby improving microcirculation, lymph flow, and tissue metabolism.
