Failure to Flow
You, my friend, aren't going with the flow.If you think about your body like a funnel, the third level of that "drainage funnel" is something called the lymphatic system. It's like our body's sewer system, and it helps with balancing fluids and our immune system. When it's not working right, you might feel swollen or tired, get headaches, or have trouble thinking clearly.Our brain also has its own drainage system, called the glymphatic system, that works to detox your noggin while you sleep. If you're not getting deep, restful sleep, this system can’t drain. For the brain to stay healthy, all parts of the drainage funnel need to work properly. Otherwise, your whole body can have problems, and your cells won't have enough energy.So, how do we open up these pathways? I'm so glad you asked. There are a few practical things that you can begin implementing right now to support your drainage pathways. Move your body daily. Sitting breeds stagnation, so get up and get your body moving! Walking, rebounding, and stretching are great for helping maintain healthy bowels.Physically moving the lymph with techniques such as dry brushing, gua sha, or lymphatic massage. Maybe you've been at this a while and you've already covered the basics. If that's the case, you need to turn up the drainage support an extra notch.
