THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that help rid the body of toxins, waste and other unwanted materials. The primary function of the lymphatic system is to transport lymph, a fluid containing infection-fighting white blood cells, throughout the body. The lymphatic system primarily consists of lymphatic vessels, which are similar to the veins and capillaries of the circulatory system. The vessels are connected to lymph nodes, where the lymph is filtered. The tonsils, adenoids, spleen and thymus are all part of the lymphatic system. WHAT CAN YOU DO TO SUPPORT YOUR LYMPHATIC SYSTEM? There are simple things you can do to support the system and help the toxins move out of the body such as "dry brushing" and bouncing on an exercise ball or small trampoline.
