Why Your Puffy Face Needs Lymphatic Drainage
Swelling or edema can be a sign that the lymphatic system isn't working efficiently. The lymphatic system helps move fluids and toxins out of the tissues and back into the bloodstream. When the lymphatic system becomes sluggish, fluids can accumulate in the tissues, leading to swelling. The liver plays a crucial role in filtering toxins and waste from the blood, and when it becomes overwhelmed, it can contribute to edema. Hormonal changes during perimenopause can also affect fluid balance and lead to increased swelling. Supporting the lymphatic system through herbal remedies, diet, movement, and lymphatic drainage can help manage edema and improve overall health.
