Your lymphatic system is part of your immune system. It’s in charge of protecting your body from illness-causing invaders, maintaining body fluid levels, absorbing digestive tract fats, and removing cellular waste. The lymph fluid carries the waste products and destroyed bacteria back into the bloodstream. The liver or kidneys then remove these from the blood. The body passes them out with other body waste, through bowel movements (poo) or urine (pee).*

Take 5 minutes to brush daily before your shower. Always brush when your skin is dry, using light strokes. Gently glide your body brush over your skin using straight strokes. Brush from your feet up, including the tops and bottoms of your feet and in between your toes. Brush your palms, backs of your hands, and in between your fingers, always brushing toward the heart. Your goal is to exfoliate the top layers of the skin by repeating the strokes five times in each area.*

This 15-minute massage can be done yourself. Use a very light touch as 70% of your lymphatic vessels are located just below the skin, and if you use too much pressure, you’ll bypass these vessels. The results of this massage are relaxing, detoxing, and healing on many levels. Apply 1-3 drops of L-Stimulate essential oil blend neat (undiluted) on fingertips and massage following the diagrams below.*
