The lymphatic system is a vital part of the immune and circulatory systems, comprising a network of vessels, nodes, and organs that maintain fluid balance, filter harmful substances and support immune function. Some of the key components include lymph (fluid with lymphocytes), lymphatic vessels (transporting lymph), lymph nodes (filtering lymph and trapping pathogens), the spleen (filtering blood and fighting infections), tonsils and adenoids (protecting against pathogens) and bone marrow (producing lymphocytes).
A variety of complaints can arise from a Lymphatic System experiencing dysfunction, some of which are listed below:
- Oedema: Particularly in the arms, legs, or other extremities, due to fluid retention.
- Pain or discomfort: Aching or tenderness in areas where lymph nodes are located.
- Healing from chronic illness: Recurrent infections or slow healing due to compromised immune function.
- Fatigue: Persistent tiredness or low energy levels.
- Undergoing chemotherapy
- Lymph problems
- A weak spleen
- Reduced mobility: Difficulty moving joints or limbs affected by swelling.
- Post mastectomy (with removal of lymph nodes)
An effective treatment for lymphatic stagnation is the AcuEnergetics® Energy Lymph Drainage. This soothing, rejuvenating therapy stimulates the lymphatic system and spleen, enhancing immune function and promoting overall relaxation.
This balance technique involves one hand connecting to the spleen’s energy, while the other hand acts as an ‘energetic sponge’, gradually moving energetic congestion toward the lymph nodes and into the left lymph duct.
