Our lymphatic system is part of the body’s immune system and is made up of tissues and organs that help protect the body from infections and diseases.
These include the tonsils, adenoids, thymus, spleen, bone marrow, lymph vessels, and lymph nodes.
The lymphatic system is a slow-moving system of organs, tissues, lymph vessels and lymph nodes throughout the body – supplementary to the body’s system of blood circulation.
This system delivers nutrients to the cells and carries away excessive water, cells, bacteria, viruses and toxins etc., as a result our:
- Body heals faster after surgeries etc.
- Removes bad waste & excess water
- Supports and enhances immune system
- Reduces swelling
- Improve circulation
- Alleviates pains
- Shaping the structure. (obesity etc.)
Lymph nodes also known as lymph glands are small, bean-shaped clusters of cells that play key part of the body’s immune system or to fight off infection etc.,
They function as filters, trapping viruses, bacteria and other causes of illnesses before they can infect our body.
They are located throughout the body, including the head, neck, armpits, chest, abdomen, groin and under the chin (just below jaw).
Lymph nodes are in groups, and each group drains a specific area of the body.
Some of its key functions include:
They filter lymphatic fluid for harmful substances and contain white blood cells that help the body fight infection and disease.
Adenopathy or Lymphadenopathy means swollen lymph nodes while lymphadenitis is an infection in one or more lymph nodes – a sign that your body is fighting an infection or illness.
Swollen lymph nodes usually occur because of infection from bacteria or viruses.
General swelling of lymph nodes may indicate a minor infection, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or the immune system disorder, such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis while hard, fixed, rapidly growing nodes, indicating a possible cancer or lymphoma.
The rest of the body’s circulatory system uses the heart as a “Pump”, to move blood around the body, but lymphatic circulation relies on body movement and breathing.
Impaired circulation leads to build up of toxins (metabolic waste), which in turn can lead to re-occurring illnesses (cold, flu, obesity etc.) and feeling of sluggishness due to a depressed immune system.
