Lymphatic System
Lymph nodes, vessels, and immune circulation
System Overview
Function & Structure
The lymphatic system maintains fluid balance, supports immune function, and facilitates nutrient transport through a network of vessels and organs:
Lymphatic Vessels
- Lymph capillaries: Collect excess interstitial fluid from tissues
- Lymph vessels: Transport lymph toward central circulation
- Lymph nodes: Filter pathogens and activate immune responses
Lymphoid Organs
- Spleen: Filters blood and stores immune cells
- Thymus: Develops and educates T-lymphocytes
- Bone marrow: Produces lymphocytes and immune cells
Immune Functions
- Pathogen filtering: Removes bacteria, viruses, and toxins
- Immune cell activation: Coordinates adaptive immune responses
- Fluid regulation: Prevents tissue swelling and maintains circulation
Common Health Concerns
- Lymphatic congestion and poor drainage
- Recurrent infections and immune weakness
- Tissue swelling and fluid retention
- Detoxification challenges and toxin accumulation
Supplement Support Strategies
- Lymphatic herbs like cleavers and red root for drainage
- Immune modulators to enhance lymphocyte function
- Anti-inflammatory compounds to reduce lymphatic congestion
- Circulation enhancers for improved lymph flow
