What Is Lymph and How Can Ayurveda Help in Supporting Its Function? - #15074
I’ve been reading a lot about the lymphatic system recently and how important it is for maintaining overall health. The lymph is responsible for removing toxins, waste, and excess fluid from the body, and I’ve learned that a sluggish lymphatic system can lead to issues like swelling, poor immunity, and fatigue. I’ve been feeling more sluggish lately and have noticed some swelling in my legs, which made me wonder if my lymphatic system could be out of balance. Can Ayurveda offer any natural remedies or lifestyle changes that can support the lymphatic system and improve its function? I’ve heard that certain Ayurvedic herbs, like Guggulu, Triphala, and Ashwagandha, can help detoxify the body and improve circulation—could these herbs support the lymphatic system and help with swelling and fatigue? I’ve also heard that Ayurvedic practices like dry brushing, massage, and specific yoga poses can help stimulate the lymphatic system. Are these practices effective, and how can I incorporate them into my routine? Has anyone here worked on improving their lymphatic health through Ayurvedic remedies or lifestyle changes? What herbs, practices, or dietary habits helped you in detoxifying and supporting your lymphatic system?
