7 Day Lymphatic Tincture (1 oz)
A lymphatic tincture is a liquid herbal remedy designed to support the lymphatic system, which plays a crucial role in immune function, detoxification, and maintaining fluid balance in the body. Here are some benefits:
1. Supports Detoxification
• The lymphatic system helps remove waste products, toxins, and cellular debris from the body. A lymphatic tincture may enhance this natural detox process by promoting better lymph flow.
2. Reduces Swelling and Inflammation
• Poor lymphatic drainage can lead to fluid retention and swelling, known as lymphedema. Herbs in lymphatic tinctures, such as cleavers or red root, may help reduce inflammation and swelling.
3. Boosts Immune Function
• The lymphatic system is a key part of the immune system, transporting white blood cells and fighting infections. Lymphatic herbs like echinacea or calendula may strengthen the body’s immune defenses.
4. Improves Skin Health
• Stagnant lymph flow is sometimes linked to skin issues such as acne, eczema, or dull complexion. A lymphatic tincture may promote clearer, healthier skin by aiding in toxin removal.
5. Enhances Energy Levels
• When the lymphatic system is sluggish, it can lead to fatigue. Supporting lymph flow can improve circulation and energy levels.
6. Aids in Digestive Health
• Some lymphatic herbs support the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT), which plays a role in immune response and gut health. For example, calendula may have mild soothing effects on the digestive system.
7. Supports Hormonal Balance
• A well-functioning lymphatic system can help eliminate excess hormones, contributing to better hormonal balance.
