Our lymphatic system is super important for our immunity and happily, there are some simple daily habits which can enable us to optimize its function. In this episode of Alimentary! I chat with Michelle Hutton (Body Aura Therapies) about the lymphatic system, what it is exactly, why it is important to our overall health and how we can support it. Michelle is a therapist with many qualifications such as reflexology, massage, sports rehabilitation, cupping, acupressure and lymphatic drainage to name but a few! She demonstrates how to dry brush and facial massage so this is a short video where you can see the actions involved.
Garlic is one of the foods that our lymph loves, so that is our store cupboard staple for this episode.
