The immune system is our bodies system for fighting against any foreign material that should simply not be there.
A part of our immune system is the lymphatic-immune system. This is a one-way system for drainage of excess fluid from the body's tissues and is a complement to the circulatory system.
Just as the circulatory system has disease-fighting functions, the lymphatic-immune system has them too. Lymph, the fluid of the lymphatic system, is transported through progressively larger vessels that drain into two large veins near the neck.
Eventually, through the filtering action of the lymph nodes and organs, the system provides immunity against disease. This is rightfully done through the work of lymphocytes (white-blood cells) that act as defenders against foreign material and disease.
So the primary course of action is to simply INCREASE the production of lymphocytes your body pushes out.
Massage supports immune functions in that it increases the lymphocyte count, promotes lymph circulation and reduces edema. Fluid retention adds weight to an individual (edema) and when swelling is addressed with massage weight is constantly reduced by enhancing lymph circulation.
Thank You, for educating yourself today!
