Love Your Lymph | Herbal Massage Oil
The lymphatic system functions as a route for transporting metabolic waste to channels for elimination. It is also an important component of our immune system, as it aids in the transportation of immune cells and facilitates the removal of waste and eliminated bacteria.
Unlike the heart in the circulatory system, the lymphatic system has no pump. It relies on movement and muscle contractions to circulate lymph fluid. Sometimes our everyday activities aren't enough to get things moving. Manual lymph massage is an excellent support to ensure your lymphatic system is operating optimally and is removing toxins out of our body.
This massage oil is loaded with herbs that stimulate and promote lymphatic movement, that have been infused in oils that nourish and support the skin.
Use this this massage oil over your neck, chest, breasts and behind your knees to encourage lymphatic drainage. This oil can also be used all over for a full body massage, or in the form of a castor oil pack.
