Lymphatic Congestion Treatment
Our lymphatic system is likened to a sewerage system where the lymph fluid transports the waste products and destroyed bacteria into the bloodstream. These waste products are then removed from our blood by our liver or kidneys. We expel these out from our body along with other body waste through bowel movements or urine. Can you imagine if this process is hampered by congestion?
Causes of Lymphatic Congestion
Aside from the natural waste on a cellular level our body produces, we are exposed to so many contaminants every day. From chemically based products to processed foods, and the sedentary lifestyle we have, these impact our bodies and our lymphatic system big time.
Here are some of the causes of lymphatic congestion:
- Stress
- Sitting
- Constipation
- Digestive imbalance
- Injury
- Surgery
- Infections

Where are the major lymph sites in your body?
Lymph nodes: Lymph nodes are bean-sized collections of lymphocytes and other immune system cells throughout the body. These nodes are located inside the chest, neck, abdomen, and pelvis. They are connected by a system of lymphatic vessels.
Spleen: The spleen is an organ under the lower ribs on the left side of the body. The spleen makes lymphocytes and other immune system cells. It also stores healthy blood cells and filters out damaged blood cells, bacteria, and cell waste.
Bone marrow: The bone marrow is the spongy tissue inside certain bones. This is where new blood cells (including some lymphocytes) are made.
Thymus: The thymus is a small organ behind the upper part of the breastbone and in front of the heart. It’s important in the development of immune cells, the T-lymphocytes
Adenoids and tonsils: These are collections of lymph tissue in the back of the throat. They help make antibodies against germs that are breathed in or swallowed.
Digestive tract: The stomach, intestines, and many other organs also have lymph tissue.
Appendix: The submucosa of the appendix contains many masses of lymphoid tissue, indicating a possible role in the lymphatic and immune systems.

This is how this inflammation can show up:

Making the connection between what your body consumes to how you feel every day, as well as lifestyle factors, is the key to our wellness. If you aren’t feeling so great (fatigue, bloating, excess weight, brain fog, acid reflux, constipation, skin issues, allergies, pain, and inflammation) please ask yourself why. What can you reduce or remove from your lifestyle?
Picture all of your cells living in this 15L of lymphatic fluid. This is where they receive their nutrition, energy and support. How well do you look after your cells?
Do you:
- Drink at least two litres of water a day?
- Move your body?
- Breathe deeply?
Or do you:
- Wear restrictive clothes
- Have broken sleep
- Consume/use some of the damaging products above
- Feel toxic
- Are you just hanging in there … surviving and not thriving?
