16 Signs There’s A Toxic, Congested Lymph In The Body And How To Help Drain It

Since we are constantly surrounded by numerous toxins from various sources, and lead fast-paced lifestyles, toxins start to accumulate and clog the lymphatic system, residing the body in stress and weakening the immunity.

According to Medical News Today:

“The lymphatic system is part of the immune system. It also maintains fluid balance and plays a role in absorbing fats and fat-soluble nutrients.

The lymphatic or lymph system involves an extensive network of vessels that passes through almost all our tissues to allow for the movement of a fluid called lymph. Lymph circulates through the body in a similar way to blood. There are about 600 lymph nodes in the body. These nodes swell in response to infection, due to a build-up of lymph fluid, bacteria, or other organisms and immune system cells.

The lymphatic system plays a key role in the immune system, fluid balance, and absorption of fats and fat-soluble nutrients. ”

The lymphatic system supports every body system, so it is very important to flush it out from time to time and prevent numerous conditions, from cellulite to cancer.

The first symptom of lymph congestion is dehydration. To check this issue, sip hot water every 10-15 minutes throughout the day, and at the end of the day, if your mouth is dry and thirsty, you are dehydrated and your lymph is congested. To rehydrate the body, repeat this therapy for 2 weeks.

Additionally, drink 1/2 your ideal body weight in ounces of water daily during these two weeks.

Here are the most common symptoms of lymphatic congestion:

  • Dry skin
  • Mild rash or acne
  • Swollen fingers
  • Brain fog
  • Weak immune system
  • Mild headaches
  • High histamine levels and irritations due to common environmental allergens
  • Occasional constipation, diarrhea and/or mucus in the stool
  • Swollen glands
  • Itchy skin
  • Tiredness
  • Soreness and/or stiffness in the morning
  • Bloating/water retention
  • Weight gain and extra belly fat
  • Breast swelling or soreness with each cycle
  • Hypersensitivity

All red-staining foods are powerful natural lymph-moving agents that detoxify the body, including beets, berries,  Echinacea, Red Root, cherries, pomegranate, and cranberries.

Beets are among the most successful ones, as they thin the bile and scrub the villi of the gut, which is where the digestive lymph originates.

Therefore, combine the warm water rehydration therapy with the consumption of red foods, and you will optimize the function of the lymphatic system and improve overall health.
