Reduce Puffiness. Boost Immunity. Support Natural Detox.
Today we focus on your lymphatic system — your body’s internal cleansing network.
It quietly clears waste, reduces inflammation, and supports immunity, yet it has no pump of its own. Lymph relies entirely on movement, breath, hydration, and gentle stimulation to flow.
When lymph becomes stagnant, you may notice:
• Puffiness (face, under eyes, hands, stomach)
• Bloating
• Fatigue or heaviness
• Brain fog
• Sluggish digestion
• Lower resistance to illness
✨ Today’s ritual is designed to restore flow, lightness, and vitality.
Guided Support: Lymphatic Flow Video Series
To support today’s practice, we’ve included a short guided lymphatic sequence from our video series.
This is perfect to follow alongside (or instead of) the steps below:
Gentle, intentional movement makes all the difference — and seeing it done can help your body respond even more easily.
Why Lymphatic Flow Matters in Detox
1. Removes metabolic waste
Clears cellular debris, toxins, and daily metabolic by-products.
2. Reduces inflammation + puffiness
Stagnant lymph = stagnant inflammation. Gentle movement restores tissue fluidity.
3. Supports digestion
Large portions of the lymphatic system surround the gut, directly influencing bloating and absorption.
4. Boosts immunity
Lymph transports immune cells throughout the body, helping you stay resilient.
5. Enhances energy
When stagnation clears, energy naturally rises.
Your Lymphatic Flow Flush Ritual
Best time: morning or early afternoon
STEP 1 — Hydrate with Purpose (1–2 min)
Drink 300–500 ml warm water or herbal tea on waking.
Hydration thins lymph so it can move freely.
Optional add-ins:
• Lemon — supports liver detox
• Ginger — anti-inflammatory
• Fennel — supports digestion
(See Day 6 for tea ideas)
Lymphatic Tea Recipe
Lymph Flow Herbal Blend
• 1 tsp dry nettle
• ½ tsp ginger
• ½ tsp fennel seeds
Steep 7–10 minutes. Drink warm.
Supports hydration, liver flow, and lymph movement.
STEP 2 — Lymph-Boosting Breath (1 min)
Hands on lower ribs.
Take 5 slow belly breaths, expanding on the inhale, softening on the exhale.
Your diaphragm is one of the primary lymph pumps.
STEP 3 — Neck + Collarbone Stimulation (1 min)
This is where lymph drains back into the bloodstream.
• Lightly tap or brush along collarbones
• Use gentle upward strokes on the neck toward the jaw
• Keep touch soft — lymph responds to lightness, not pressure
STEP 4 — Full Body Lymph Flow (2–3 min)
Using slow, gentle, upward strokes:
• Ankles → knees
• Knees → hips
• Hands → shoulders
• Abdomen in clockwise circles
Rhythmic, light, and calm.
STEP 5 — Movement Flush (2–5 min)
Choose one:
• Walking
• Gentle stretching
• Pilates-style “hundreds” breathing
• Rebounding (mini trampoline)
• Simple shake-out of arms and legs
No intensity needed — movement is the pump.
Awareness Exercise
At the end of the day, notice:
• Did you feel lighter or less puffy?
• Any changes in energy?
• Digestion or mental clarity?
• Did your skin look brighter or clearer?
These subtle shifts are signs your lymph is moving again.
Today’s Intention
Invite fluidity into your body.
Let what no longer serves you move and release.
Feel lighter, clearer, and more energised.
