The lymphatic system is a vital part of our body that often gets forgotten about. Unlike blood and oxygen, there is no designated organ to deal with lymphatic fluid (also known as lymph) in our bodies. Therefore, it can be difficult to know how to treat it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main function of the lymphatic system is to deal with any toxins in our body. As such, it is not uncommon for the lymphatic system to get clogged. This can cause all sorts of issues such as headaches, sinusitis, swelling issues, chronic pain, and much more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the best ways of dealing with this are holistic in nature, and we have listed 10 of our favorite lymphatic system healing methods below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exercises <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are so many exercises that you can utilize when you want to help to improve the health of the lymphatic system. We don\u2019t have to tell you about how beneficial exercise is for your general health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As it turns out, it is just as vital when you want to keep your lymphatic system healthy. The best exercise you can do is jumping on a trampoline. Yep, we are totally serious! Using a trampoline is known as rebounding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have to do it for around 10 minutes to 30 minutes in order for it to be effective. It moves the lymph passively, and also helps to improve the circulation of blood around the body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, it is so much fun<\/strong> and also helps to improve muscle definition as well as counting towards general exercise. As if we needed an excuse to jump around on the trampoline like a kid for half an hour, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Massage<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t underestimate the power of the massage! Did you know there was actually such a thing as a lymphatic massage? No? Well, now you do! You can get a lymphatic massage to help the flow of lymph around the body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any massage will be helpful, of course, but choose a lymphatic massage specifically to ensure you get the most out of it. It uses a specific amount of pressure in a certain rhythm to get the lymph flowing toward the heart ready for it to be drained and recirculated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is great for moving along static lymph that seems to be \u2018stuck\u2019 in the body, getting it circulating around the body again. In fact, it is also great for helping to shift toxins out of the body, which will, in turn, take some pressure off your lymphatic system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can do a lymphatic massage yourself at home, however, we highly recommend consulting a professional to do this for you. This way you can be sure of great results, and it will be performed safely by someone who has lots of experience in doing it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hot and cold treatments <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Hot and cold treatments, particularly a hot and cold shower treatment, can work wonders for the overall health of your lymphatic system. Many spas will feature showers that run at various pressures and <\/em>temperatures. The reason for this isn\u2019t to clean you. No. Instead, it is meant to aid your lymphatic system between treatments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternating between hot and cold can be particularly helpful because of the pump action that it creates. Hot water makes the blood vessels dilate, whereas the cold water closes them back up. In turn, this forces out toxins from the body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using this sort of treatment for your lymphatic system is not suitable for everyone though, so you should always consult a doctor before you try it for yourself. For example, if you have issues with your blood pressure, any cardiovascular issues, or even if you are pregnant you should avoid hot and cold treatments like this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diet <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are a number of ways you can help out the lymphatic system just through the foods that you eat. Of course, the benefits of having a good diet are many, but there are some foods in particular that we recommend choosing if you want to support the overall health of your lymphatic system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is very important that you eat a range of nutrient rich foods. The lymphatic system responds particularly well to raw foods! Some foods that you can incorporate into your diet include: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
