What is the lymphatic system?
The lymphatic system is a vast network of tiny vessels and nodes that runs alongside your blood circulation, carrying a clear fluid called lymph. This fluid collects excess water, proteins, and waste products from tissues and transports them through lymph nodes; small, bean‑shaped filters that trap bacteria, viruses, and other harmful substances. By returning cleansed fluid to the bloodstream and supporting the production and movement of infection‑fighting white blood cells, the lymphatic system plays a crucial role in keeping your body balanced, healthy, and protected against illness. Though it works quietly in the background, maintaining proper lymph flow is essential for reducing swelling, removing toxins, and bolstering your overall well‑being.
