What is the ✨️ lymphatic system ✨️?
It is our bodies lymph fluid drainage system. It consists of a complex network of lymphatic vessels, tissues, organs, and glands. It is a subsystem of our immune system and is complementary to our circulatory system. The lymphatic system removes excess fluid from the body tissues and returns it to the bloodstream.
The lymphatic system doesn't have its own pump, like the bloodstream has the heart. We can help pump the lymphatic system by:
- practicing deep breathing
- moving
- special types of massage
Stay tuned for some more info on how to care for your lymphatic system!
