Let's Move that Lymph for Healthy Immune System

A healthy immune system goes hand in hand with a healthy lymphatic system.  The lymph system is our body's cleansing system.  The concept of lymph is difficult to wrap your brain around because it's a fluid system but it's not blood.  The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that rid the body of all the impurities and metabolic waste products.

Perhaps the most important function of the lymphatic system is to carry infection fighting white blood cells throughout the body (Live Science, 2018).   This is especially important now as we fight the coronavirus and try to build healthy immune systems at home.

In order to keep your lymph system healthy, you have to keep the lymph moving!  Lymphatic expert Stop Chasing Pain's Perry Nickelson says that stagnant lymph is a breeding ground for disease...."the more you sit, the more clogged up your lymphatic system gets"!

LET'S MOVE THAT LYMPH FOR HEALTHY IMMUNE SYSTEM

As a Z-Health Practitioner, I specialize in all things of the nervous system, including the lymphatic system.  A healthy lymph system needs to move.  Today I want to show you how to do 'LYMPHATIC BREATHING' to unclog the lymph and keep it moving to rid the body of impurities and toxins.

The key to this method is to open up the left thoracic duct because the left thoracic duct is the king pin of the body; the entire body (except the right side of the face and the right arm) drains through the left thoracic duct.

Follow along with this video and breathe.  Do this 1-5 minutes at a time.
The more swollen you are, the longer you might want to try this type of breathing.
