Lymph is a liquid which circulates between the cells in your body, it enters the cell and then leaves, taking out toxins and waste material. The main function of the lymph is to “catch” bacteria, viruses, metabolic waste and toxins, sending them to the lymph nodes in order to neutralize their negative effects. There are more than 600 lymph nodes in the body located in different parts protecting the body from inflammation and illness. When the lymph nodes are enlarged and swollen, it is a sign that the immune system is fighting an infection or a disease.

What Causes Swollen (Enlarged) Lymph nodes

The lymph nodes contain a large amount of lymphocytes (white blood cells) which have the ability to fight and destroy bacteria and viruses. They are small bean-shaped formations located along the lymphatic vessels all over the body. When one or more lymph nodes are enlarged and swollen, lymphadenitis occurs. The causes for swollen lymph nodes are different: 

In most cases, the swollen lymph nodes are linked to the first three causes and the infections are passing through the lymphatic system without causing serious illnesses. Usually other symptoms are experienced simultaneously like sore throat, cough, fever etc. The swollen lymph nodes can enlarge overnight if there is a viral infection in the body or gradually, if there is a serious condition like cancer or immune deficiency.

What Activities and Habits Can Help With the Swollen Lymph Nodes?

In order to support the lymphatic system and to heal the enlarged lymph nodes you will need to embrace some healthy habits: 

coMra therapy is a very effective treatment for various conditions. It is similar to cold laser therapy, but much more refined.

Cellulite is a condition which affects the derma and the fat cells situated underneath which causes the effect of the “orange skin”. It is common among women of all ages,  very stubborn and hard to get rid of. Most of the women at one point of their life are seeing this in the mirror and being honest, it is not pleasant at all. However, let us go through the different causes of this condition and how to deal with them. Cellulite is the result of many factors which combined will cause loose skin and visible fat cells. 

1.Weak lymphatic system, dehydration and water retention

If you have noticed that you have cellulite since your teenage years and it goes worse in the summer or when you sit for a long time, this means that your lymphatic system does not function optimally. The lymph is the liquid that runs around the body taking the toxins out of the bloodstream. If the lymphatic vessels are weak, some of these toxins may leak back in the blood being stored in different parts of the body in the form of fat cells. Actually, the fat cells sometimes are formed around the toxins in the form of a small ball with the purpose to protect the body from it. You need enough water in order for the lymphatic system to function optimally and if the body is dehydrated, it will store all the water between the fat cells, this is known as water retention. So, drinking enough pure water daily is the first step to improve the work of the lymphatic system. There is more, but we will discuss that later on. 

2.Sugar sensitivity and insulin resistance

If the cellulite is visible or not, depends on how strong are the collagen bundles. If the collagen is constantly destroyed, it will result in saggy skin, wrinkles and more visible cellulite. One thing which breaks the collagen in the body is sugar. If you cannot metabolize the sugar fast enough it will be turned into fat and it will attach to the collagen bundles making them break. The insulin spikes will make your body turn all the glucose in the blood into fat as a strategy to store and use it later on. The fat will be burned only if there is no glucose in the blood, then the hormone glucagon will be released which will tell your cells to use fat as a source of energy. 

You need to support your liver and pancreas in order to normalize their functioning and to speed up your metabolism. The first step will be to limit your refined sugar intake but it is best if you combine it with low level laser therapy. And no, we do not talk about going to a beauty salon for cold laser procedures every week. In fact, with coMra you can have your own portable device and you can do the treatments everywhere. Start with coMra Universal treatment protocol 3, 5 and the Liver Treatment.  

3.Hormonal Imbalance

What is the name of the group of hormones which cause excessive growth in the female body? That is right, cellulite is often a sign of estrogen dominance. The thing is that estrogens can be formed in the fat cells and this makes everything even worse. The cycle goes like this -  excessive estrogen makes you gain weight  and slows down the metabolism, more fat cells are formed and then these fat cells produce even more estrogen that has to be eliminated by the liver. The hormones that can regulate the estrogen is progesterone but nowadays, many women actually have progesterone deficiency from early teenage age. Check our other articles on how to address that with the coMra - a cold laser therapy and more. A gentle laser works in coherence with magnetic fields and light diodes to provide additional energy to your cells and to induce the healing process in your body. 

4.High percentage of body fat

As it was already explained, the fat cells themselves produce more and more estrogen in the body which has to be eliminated by the liver. On top of that, if you have several kilos more, the cellulite will be more and more visible. The way to fight this is to change your diet and to reduce the sugar intake together with alcohol, soft drinks, pasta and bread, tobacco and all other substances which are full of toxins. It does not matter how much you eat but what you eat, if eighty percent of your food is vegetables, fruits and greens, there is not much room left for processed foods full of trans fats and additives of unknown origin. 

5.Inactive lifestyle

In summary, you need to assist your body into cleansing the tissues from toxins, excessive fat and metabolic waste. Of course, it will be hard to do this only with diets, no matter how good they are, you will need to be more active. In order to support the lymphatic system, you will need to incorporate a regular moving routine in the form of moderate exercise, walking, running, swimming, yoga or whatever you really enjoy to do. In that way, your body will burn all the glucose in the blood and then it will start burning the fat. Being active will help your body into losing weight, eliminating the excessive estrogen from the body, reducing body fat and the intracellular water. The coMra therapy is a great way to support your body and to heal various health conditions but it will be even more effective if you combine it with lifestyle, diet and mindset changes.

Why the role of the lymphatic system is so important for your health? How to support its better functioning incorporating some useful habits in your lifestyle? What not to do if you want to have a lymphatic system that works properly?

The lymphatic system is the body’s drainage net of small tubes that takes away the excessive fluid, called lymph, leaked from the blood vessels in the tissues and brings it back to the bloodstream through the lymph nodes. Another function of this system is its role in the immune defence of the organism against bacteria, fungus, waste products, toxins and any other dangerous substances and cells that may be found in the body. The lymphatic nodes and the organs connected to this system like the spleen and the thymus store white cells which are rapidly multiplied and released in the blood if any bacteria, virus or dying cells are detected.

If any disorders occur in the lymphatic system the overall health would be affected immediately, the lymph needs to move easily in the body, so the waste materials of any kind to be able to leave the organism. The lymphatic vessels doesn’t have their own pressure like the blood vessels and the lymph is moving upwards always. So, what can you do daily to support its work?

Movement

As soon as the lymph is not able to move on its own because of the lack of pressure in the lymphatic vessels, the only way to support its movement is through exercises and contraction of the muscles. The sitting or standing at one place for many hours is causing a great difficulty for the lymph to move around the body. Without this movement the function of the lymphatic system is interrupted and the toxins are stored in the body or in the lymphatic nodes. A daily exercise is vital for this system to work properly. Even a quick stretching each hour for several minutes would help the lymph to travel easily through the body. To put your legs higher than the waist is also a good idea that would support the lymph movement.

Water

The lymphatic system is managing the fluids levels in the body so it needs enough liquids to enter the system in order to work properly. The water supply is vital for the lymphatic drainage as the lymph is used by the body to flush away all the waste products, bacteria and any other dangerous substances. If dehydration occur in the body, the lymph nodes would be blocked with the toxins so enough amount of daily water is essential for the immune system.

Tissue regeneration

The disorders in the lymphatic system might lead to tissue swelling as the lymph is not moving properly and the excessive liquids is not drained well. Sometimes this could be the result of not enough tone in the tissues and the muscles. To regenerate the tissues safely and without any side effects you can treat the body with the coMra Palm. The coMra laser therapy would gently support all your systems including the lymphatic one as it provides the tissue regeneration and total body conditioning, providing the cells and the organs with the extra energy they need in order to awaken its own healing abilities.

Spices and herbs

Some herbs and spices could help the immune system in its fight with the incoming bacteria, viruses and toxins from the outside world. The intake if garlic, chilli peppers, turmeric, ginger, clove, bee propolis, apple cider vinegar etc. might give your lymphatic system an extra push and support. Some herbs like the green tea, nettle and cinnamon could help the body to drain the lymph and excessive liquids.

Sweat

The lymphatic system is an open one as all the waste products, dead cells and toxins must be pushed out of the body. The sweat is part of this system, the sweat is what the lymphatic system is using to maintain the inner temperature and to flush away the unneeded substances. This the main reason why the sauna and the regular intensive exercises are supporting the detox of the body. You should not try to seal the sweat glands as then the toxins are not going out and will return in the circulation.

Special Massage

The massage that is supportive for the lymphatic system would be the one that is done from downwards to upwards and not the other way around as most of the massage procedures are done. There are some specialists that are doing this special drainage massage that is improving the lymph movement through the vessels.

If your lymphatic system is working properly with all its nodes and organs, then the body is able to use its immune system in order to maintain the inner balance it needs. All the resources for cleansing and recovering are in the lymph movement to its open ends in the skin and other organs. When you support the lymphatic system, you actually help the regeneration and rejuvenation of the cells.
