Widely used in naturopathy, castor oil is known for its immune-boosting properties. Applied as a poultice to the lower abdomen or liver area, it promotes the elimination of toxins.
The right move: soak a clean cloth in slightly warmed oil , place it on the skin, cover with plastic wrap then a hot water bottle, and lie down for 30 to 45 minutes. Do this once or twice a week to support your inner balance.
Inversion, or the art of trusting gravity
Using an inversion board (or simply raising your legs against a wall) allows you to take advantage of gravity to circulate lymph. In the inclined position, stagnant fluids are « pulled » upwards, which lightens the legs and stimulates detoxification.
No need to spend hours on it: 5 to 10 minutes a day is enough to feel the benefits .
Plants that are good for your lymph
Certain plants are real allies in naturally supporting drainage. Among them:
- Red clover and cleavers: known to support lymph node decongestion .
- Echinacea root: to boost immunity.
- Black radish: to help the liver and intestines eliminate waste better.
They are found in herbal teas, mother tinctures or supplements, to be chosen with the help of a professional.
Digestive Enzymes: Small but Mighty
Taken between meals, certain enzymes help eliminate cellular waste and ease the workload on the lymphatic system. The result: improved internal circulation and increased energy.
