The Lymphatic System Cleanse

Manjistha (Rubia cordifolia) is a red root that has been traditionally used to decongest the lymphatic system and liver. It is loaded with antioxidants that boost the natural production of glutathione and other liver-shielding agents. (1) The lymphatic system is the body's major detox system and, when exposed to heavy metal toxins, constituent factors of manjistha helped reduce lipid peroxidation damage and boost antioxidants, such as glutathione, superoxide dismutase, and catalase.

Directions: Take 2 capsules in the morning and 1 capsule before bed.

Brahmi (Centella asiatica) is Ayurveda's premier herb for brain function and mental clarity. (4) Recently, studies have found that brahmi (not to be confused with Bacopa monnieri) supports the health of the skin both on the inside of the intestinal tract as well as the outer skin of the body. (4) Numerous brahmi antioxidant constituents have been found to support micro-circulation and lymph flow as well. (4) With the new research on lymphatic vessels that drain the brain and central nervous system during sleep, brahmi may be the most effective herb for supporting brain health, cognitive function, and brain lymph drainage.

Directions: Take 2 capsules in the morning and 1 capsule before bed.

Neem (Azadirachta indica) is Ayurveda's classic herb for the health of the body's inner and outer skin. (6) It naturally scrubs the intestines of bad, undesirable microbes while supporting the growth of beneficial bacteria. The health of the microbes in the intestines depends on the health of the inner skin and the intestinal lymph drainage. With over 140 compounds, neem supports the health and function of the microbiology, intestinal skin and the function of the lymph flow that drains the intestinal tract. (5)

Directions: Take 2 capsules in the morning and 1 capsule before bed.

Citrus pith has been traditionally used in Ayurveda to support the circulatory function of the body. New studies have found that diosmin, an active ingredient in the white pith (rind) of oranges, has been shown to effectively support healthy micro-circulation by increasing lymphatic contractions. (7) Lymphatic congestion is linked to water retention, bloat, cellulite, sluggish immunity and much more. (7) LifeSpa's Lymph-Vein HP contains diosmin from the white pith of citrus as a powerful lymphatic decongestive agent.

Directions: Take 1 capsule twice per day with food at main meals.

Lymph Cleanse combines a host of lymph-cleansing herbs such as Red Root, Ocotillo, Stillingia, Astragalus, and Ginger, and is formulated to scrub both the lymph and the lining of the intestinal tract, where the majority of the body's lymphatic system originates. (10-14)

Directions: Take 30 drops in water or juice once a day on an empty stomach.

Lymphatic Massage Oil is rich in lymphatic herbs that support healthy lymph flow in the skin-associated lymphatic tissue. Oil massage also feeds the natural bacteria on the surface of the skin, while calming the vata or sensory nerve endings on the skin itself. (8,9)

Directions: Massage daily with a small amount of oil during a warm shower or bath. Give special attention to areas of lymphatic concentration: the head, neck, feet, and abdomen. For external use only.
