What is a lymph node?

It is a small, bean-shaped structure that acts like a garbage collector and security checkpoint for your body.

In simple terms:

Think of a lymph node as a mini clinic that is a check point to clean lymph fluid while helping your immune system decide what doesn't belong in your body.

They filter metabolic waste, bacteria, viruses, and abnormal cells. If something doesn't belong, your nodes will activate the immune cells (lymphocytes), when there is an infection or inflammation in addition to helping to control selling by processing any excess fluid in our soft tissues.

Our bodies have hundreds of lymph nodes throughout; with clusters I call intersections. These intersections help to drain the processed waste out of your body.

These areas are located
-In your Neck above your clavicle and under your jaw
-In your Armpits
-In both sides of your Groin
-Deep in the chest and abdomen
-In the Backs of your knee's

Stimulate these drainage areas to help the fluid flow out of the body, along with all the metabolic waste and toxins, by using a flat hand with gentle circular motions.

Don't forget to increase your fluid intake to prevent dehydration!
