Love Your Lymph! A Tincture Crafted from a Common Herb!

As I already mentioned, cleavers helps your body move lymphatic fluid.
•
But what exactly does that look like?
•
Your lymphatic system plays an integral role in your immunity and detoxification. Lymph, a usually clear fluid, flows through tiny vessels to various lymph nodes throughout your body where foreign material, microbes, and metabolic waste are processed and removed.
•
It’s a vascular system, like your cardiovascular system, but it doesn’t have a strong pumping organ like the heart to move it around. Instead, your body relies on movement and nearby blood vessels to keep your lymphatic fluid moving.
•
Sometimes, when you’re sick, you might feel your lymph nodes swell up. I usually notice this before coming down with a cold or flu virus. This might happen because a node or two has gotten bombarded with a lot of pathogens and waste material, so it isn’t functioning at its peak.
•
Using a lymphatic herb like cleavers or mullein can help reduce that swelling and get the fluid moving like it needs to. As a bonus, when your lymphatic system is working like it needs to, you might notice clearer skin, better energy, and overall feeling of health.
•
If you want to use cleavers for better health, you have a lot of preparation options.
