CleanLYPMH
The lymphatic system is a vital part of the body's immune system and plays a crucial role in toxin and waste elimination as well as protection and defense. Comprising a network of lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, and lymphoid organs, the lymphatic system helps remove toxins, waste products, and pathogens from the body while also supporting immune function.
Why is it important to have CleanLYMPH?
​
-
Toxin and Waste Elimination: The lymphatic system is responsible for collecting and transporting waste products, toxins, and cellular debris away from tissues and organs. It carries this waste-filled lymph fluid through lymphatic vessels to the lymph nodes, where harmful substances are filtered out and eliminated. The lymph nodes contain specialized immune cells that help identify and neutralize pathogens, contributing to the body's detoxification process.
-
Protection and Defense: The lymphatic system works in close collaboration with the immune system to protect the body from infections and diseases. Lymphoid organs, such as the spleen and tonsils, contain specialized immune cells that help identify and destroy pathogens. The lymphatic system also plays a crucial role in immune surveillance, detecting and responding to foreign invaders in the body.

How does the Cleanbody Method support CleanLYMPH?
There are three steps in the Cleanbody Method, and all of the steps support CleanLYMPH.
STEP 1: EVALUATE​
It is important for you to evaluate your lymphatic health on a yearly basis with your healthcare practitioner. In our CleanSTART program, we will support you in investigating your lymphatic health using lab tests such as:
​
-
Lymphatic System Assessment: While there are no standard tests specifically designed to assess the lymphatic system's function, certain tests can indirectly provide insights into its health. These may include blood tests to assess markers of inflammation or imaging studies to evaluate lymph node size and structure.
​
STEP 2: OPTIMIZE
In Step 2 of the Cleanbody Method, we support you in optimizing your Cleanbody Pillars. The following Cleanbody Pillars support CleanCARDIO:
-
CleanROUTINE:
-
Lymphatic Massage: Manual techniques, such as lymphatic drainage massage, can help stimulate lymphatic circulation, reduce fluid retention, and support detoxification. This gentle, rhythmic massage targets specific areas and promotes the movement of lymph fluid throughout the body.
-
Dry Brushing: Dry brushing involves using a soft-bristled brush to gently stimulate the skin. This technique helps exfoliate dead skin cells, improve circulation, and stimulate the lymphatic system.
-
Hydration: Proper hydration is essential for maintaining healthy lymphatic function. Drinking an adequate amount of water throughout the day supports lymphatic fluid production, dilutes toxins, and facilitates their elimination.
-
Hot and Cold Therapy: Alternating between hot and cold water during showers or using hot and cold compresses can stimulate lymphatic flow, improve circulation, and support detoxification.
-
​
-
CleanFIT: Regular physical activity, including aerobic exercises, strength training, and stretching, promotes lymphatic circulation and helps maintain a healthy lymphatic system. Incorporating activities like walking, swimming, or yoga can support CleanLYMPH.
​
-
CleanMIND: Chronic stress can impair lymphatic function. Implement stress management techniques, such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, or engaging in activities that promote relaxation, to support a healthy lymphatic system.

STEP 3 SUPPORT
In Step 3, we will explore additional supplements and treatments that can provide support in nurturing CleanLYMPH, if needed. While a balanced diet and lifestyle are key, certain circumstances may benefit from additional interventions, including nutritional supplements, herbs and homeopathy, advanced nutrition plans, supportive treatments, and compounded medications when available for use.
