Description
Lymphatic Support Formula
The lymphatic system is an integral component of the immune and circulatory systems, responsible for maintaining fluid balance, facilitating immune surveillance, and removing metabolic waste products from tissues. It plays a key role in transporting lymph—a fluid containing white blood cells, lipids, and fat-soluble vitamins—through a network of vessels, nodes, and organs. Efficient lymphatic drainage supports immune defence, reduces interstitial fluid accumulation (edema), and contributes to overall systemic detoxification.
Maintaining optimal lymphatic function is essential for immune competence and tissue health. Periodic stimulation of lymphatic flow may enhance the clearance of cellular waste, promote detoxification, and support the body’s natural defence mechanisms.
Calendula (Calendula officinalis)
Calendula exhibits lymphagogue and anti-inflammatory properties. It promotes lymphatic circulation and helps decongest swollen lymph nodes. Traditionally, calendula has been used to support cases of lymphadenitis and lymphatic stagnation, facilitating the removal of metabolic by-products and enhancing immune responsiveness.
Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea)
Echinacea is recognized for its immunomodulatory and lymphatic-stimulating effects. It enhances macrophage activity and promotes lymphatic drainage, aiding in the removal of pathogenic organisms and debris. By supporting leukocyte mobilization, echinacea contributes to the body’s natural resistance to infection and inflammation.
Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale)
Dandelion functions as a mild diuretic, hepatic tonic, and cholagogue, assisting in the elimination of excess interstitial fluid and promoting bile flow. It supports hepatic detoxification pathways and aids in the clearance of lymphatic congestion, particularly within the gastrointestinal tract. Its combined hepatic and lymphatic actions make it valuable in managing systemic inflammatory or congestive states.
Elderberry (Sambucus nigra)
Elderberry is rich in anthocyanins and flavonoids that exhibit antioxidant, antiviral, and immunostimulatory activity. It supports both the lymphatic and immune systems by enhancing the elimination of metabolic waste and strengthening host defenses. Elderberry may assist in modulating inflammatory responses while supporting natural detoxification and respiratory immune function.
