Go With The Flow
Red Clover Blossom, Cleavers, Nettle, Calendula and Schisandra berries.
The lymphatic system is a complex network of vessels that branch through all parts of the body to circulate important bodily fluid and defend against infection. You can think of the lymphatic system as the body’s drainage system, working around-the-clock to clean up and properly dispose of waste left behind by other body systems. A healthy lymphatic system also contributes to many other major bodily functions, including: filtering the blood, fighting infection, removing impurities from the body, draining fluid back into the bloodstream, and filtering the lymph.
Supporting the Lymphatic system is an important part of maintaining a healthy immune system and supporting your bodies natural detoxification process.
Red Clover is a blood purifier and helps increase the flow of the lymphatic system helping to clear toxins from the body.
**People who have been diagnosed with breast cancer should not use red clover without discussing it with their physician. Red clover may also increase the risk of bleeding, particularly in those people who are taking blood-thinning medications.
Cleavers are one of spring's best cleansing medicines. They support the lymphatic system and assist with any congestions, including spring colds and allergies. They can be used as a daily tonic throughout spring to help clear out stagnation built up in winter.
Nettles are a wonderful nutritive herb with many vitamins and minerals. Stinging nettle may help ensure any toxins that are being neutralized in the body are eliminated from the body as quickly as possible. Stinging nettles also help stimulate the lymphatic system, thus helping the body to get rid of excess toxins from the kidneys.
Calendula supports the movement of lymph which enables better detoxication from the cells and also supports overall immunological health. It may be used for swollen lymph glands, water retention or in other congestion conditions.
Schisandra also benefits lymph health and the immune system. It is immunostrengthening, immunomodulating and immunostimulating. In particular, lignans in the seeds are immunomodulating and useful in formulas for strengthening and balancing the immune system. Schisandra is also a liver protector and may help lower levels of an enzyme that is a marker for liver damage.
