10 signs that may indicate lymphatic congestion

Our lymphatic system is made up of a huge network of vessels and nodes, the fluid in our lymphatics is called lymph (colourless fluid). This fluid is a mix of water, fats, salts, glucose, proteins, and white blood cells, also known as the infection fighting squad.

IT'S SO IMPORTANT and its main function is to eliminate toxins, pathogens, and the waste from the body. Do you know when you get a blister and you are told not to pop it but you do it anyway? The clear liquid that oozes out is lymph.

Here are 10 signs that may indicate lymphatic congestion:

• Mental fog or “brain fog”

• Compromised immunity

• Frequent sickness

• Swelling and fluid retention

• Cellulite and stretch marks

• Swollen glands

• Dry and itchy skin

• Tiredness and fatigue

• Cold extremities (hands & feet)

• Unexplained weight gain
