Soulfull Family - The Collective Connection

Sending you love Haley !❤️‍🔥 Here’s some additional info for anyone else that might go through this AND a few things to try at your own discretion.... I have scoured the internet for a few days, I am not a doctor-maybe one day though ;). I will bring some medical professionals & trained herbalists into this family/ network this year. Stay tuned! Swollen lymph nodes usually occur as a result of infection from bacteria or viruses. Usually, swollen lymph nodes aren't a reason to worry. They're simply a sign that your immune system is fighting an infection. Our Lymphatic Systems are responsible for removing the cellular waste in our bodies. Everything from mutated cells to viruses and bacteria are cleared by the lymph system. When lymph becomes sluggish and congestion, our bodies have a hard time keeping up with all of the waste, environmental toxins, viruses etc that we come in contact with and we cannot have optimal health. HERBS Red Clover is a popular herb for the lymph, increasing flow, which helps to detoxify the body and reduce inflammation. Cleavers, also known as Clivers or Goosegrass has been used for centuries and considered one of the best tonics to stimulate and help drain the lymphatic system. WATER Lymph is about 95% water, making water essential for its health. Stay hydrated by drinking half your weight in ounces of water a day. Without adequate water, lymphatic fluid cannot flow properly. And one of the most common causes of lymph congestion is dehydration. Only water, can adequately rehydrate the body, but if you want to expedite the process, add lemon to your water. Lemon is an alkaline fruit that helps to mineralize the body and lymph. Try sipping on warm lemon water throughout the day, use a straw to protect your teeth’s enamel from the lemon. DRY BRUSHING Dry brushing is a technique commonly utilized in Ayurveda for assisting in lymphatic flow and boosting circulation. Take a dry natural course bristled brush and brush the skin towards the heart. This stimulates the sweat glands, opens pores, and gets rid of dead skin cells while encouraging the movement of lymph and blood in underlying organs and tissues of the body, which helps clear built-up toxins. As a result, it can be beneficial in improving skin conditions and reducing cellulite. REBOUNDING Rebounding is and easy (and fun!) way of moving stagnant lymph. It is the practice of jumping on a trampoline for ten to thirty minutes. This encourages the flow the lymph while stimulating the circulation of blood throughout the body. Numerous studies have proven its efficacy, and have even shown it to improve muscle tone. DETOX YOUR ENVIRONMENT It is important to reduce your exposure to chemicals in food, air, personal care products, and water while increasing your intake of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients to prevent damage. Your lymphatic system must deal with the body's "waste products" that are produced internally as well as toxins that are introduced from the external environment. Systemic inflammation creates congestion and swelling in the tissues, which impairs lymphatic flow. Oxidative stress damages the lymph vessels and breaks down their ability to effectively transport lymph fluid and wastes. Ways to do this include, Using an aluminum free deodorant Opting for more natural hair and skin care products Using natural makeup Using natural cleaners in your home Using an air purifier for your home Using essential oils instead of perfumes/cologne Diffusing essential oils instead of candles/wax melts Investing in a good water purifier Buying produce from local sustainable farms
