Exploring Lymphatic Drainage at Root Therapy & Wellness

Understanding the Lymphatic System
Your Body’s Waste Removal Network
The lymphatic system is a network of vessels and organs that work tirelessly behind the scenes to remove waste products, toxins, and excess fluid from your body tissues. A healthy lymphatic system is crucial for maintaining overall health and fighting infection.
When the Flow Stagnates: Signs of Lymphatic Drainage Issues
Sometimes, the flow of lymph fluid can become sluggish or blocked. This can lead to a buildup of fluid in your tissues, causing:
- Swelling, particularly in the arms and legs
- Fatigue
- Aching muscles
- Difficulty concentrating
- Feeling sluggish
