NATURAL HEALTH & HEALINGVol. 2 No. 11 *July 2009The Lymphatic System is made up of vessels that run parallel to the circulatory system & glands that are found under the arms, throat area, breast, & groin. The lymphatic system is responsible for the draining & cleansing of cells, tissue, & organs. After cleansing takes place cellular fluid returns to the blood stream. The glands of the lymphatic system function as anti-microbials (agents that kill & fight pathogenic micro-organisms). When the lymphatic glands become swollen it's a sign that the lymphatic system needs cleansing & healing. The lymphatic system plays an important part in keeping the body healthy & clean.Fruits, Vegetables & Herbs That Benefit The Lymphatic SystemFruit: ApplesVegetables: Beets - Lettuce (lymphatic glands) -Turnips (lymphatic glands)Seeds: Sunflower SeedsHerbs: Chaparral - Echinacea - Yellow Dock – Golden Seal - Burdock - Garlic
