The missing link to hormone health - a balanced lymphatic system

Did you know that almost every single chronic health issue is affected by the health and performance of the lymphatic system? Whether you are dealing with brain fog, chronic fatigue, sore breasts, bloating, mood swings, sleeplessness, chronic headaches, cold hands and feet, excess weight, or swelling in your fingers or ankles, chances are your lymphatic system is sluggish.

The lymphatic system supports your overall health as it helps balance systems of of the body. While working to clear toxins it also enhances your natural immunity and works to regulate your hormones. The lymphatic system is a crucial part of your body's ability to fight off infection and viruses. It's a key player in the immune system that functions by circulating lymphatic fluid through a series of lymph vessels all throughout your body. This fluid gathers up anything foreign, such as viruses and bacteria from your body tissues and flushes them to your lymph nodes, where immune cells attack whatever isn't helping your body.

The connection to hormones.

All hormones, nutrients and waste products going to and from the cells must pass through the interstitial matrix. If the lymphatic channels can’t remove toxins properly, no hormone, enzyme or molecule is going to work optimally. If toxins can be released there will be deposits of waste products into the tissues. Yuck! Just like the drains in your house that can get backed up if they aren't cleaned and maintained regularly.

The majority of struggles with hormonal imbalances affecting both the female brain and body may be associated with estrogen dominance. The health of a woman’s lymphatic system has a direct impact on her ability to move progesterone around the body. A person's lymphatic flow serves as a delivery system for progesterone, to balance out estrogen.

Why is MLD important? 

The benefits of manual lymphatic drainage are extensive, mainly in the transport and removal of stagnant fluids, but it also stimulates blood circulation and tissue regeneration, speeds up recovery from injury, illness, surgery, balances your hormones, and supports the maintenance of lipedema and lymphedema.
