The lymphatic system is an integral part of our innate and adaptive immunity and plays an often-underestimated role in keeping us healthy. More than just a series of ducts and vessels, the circulation of lymph throughout the body is just as necessary as the flow of blood when it comes not just to healing, but to metabolism, elimination and detoxification. Furthermore, as one of the great waters of the body, understanding the water element itself and examining its energetics allows us to gain a better comprehension of this crucial source of our vitality. Join us as we discuss lymphatic anatomy and physiology and apply the six tissue states to not just understanding water, but how herbal protocols can offer support for underlying lymphatic imbalances. We will also approach the relationships between the lymphatics and other body systems such as the liver, heart & skin, remembering that all the pieces of our anatomical puzzle are inherently integrated.
