The lymphatic system is a vital part o f the body’s immune system and circulatory system. It consists of a network of lymphatic substances and support the immune function.

Key functions of the lymphatic system include:

Fluid balance: It collects excess fluid, proteins, and waste products from tissues and returns it to the bloodstream, helping to maintain fluid balance in the body.

Immune response: Lymph nodes, which contain immune cells, filter lymph to detect and fight infections by trapping and destroying pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, and abnormal cells.

Supports gut health: It absorbs and transports fats and fat-soluble vitamins from the intestines to the bloodstreams.

Improves circulation and healing: by clearing waste and reducing swelling. It enhances blood flow and speeds up injury recovery.

Waste removal: The lymphatic system removes cellular waste, toxins, and debris, contributing to the body’s detoxification process.

A blocked and sluggish lymphatic system can lead to a buildup of toxins, fluid retention, and a weakened immune response.
