Castor oil is used for promoting lymph circulation. It offers a natural and economical way of treating the lymph system.
The Link between the oil & the Lymph System
The
lymph vessel, which is located all throughout your body, can sometimes
be congested with substances that are caused by cellular metabolism.
When this happens, the lymph slows down its activity and fatty
substances and waste deposits get stored in your system longer than
what's considered normal. As a result, there is a decrease in your rate
of metabolism, which may pose risks to your health. Swollen lymph nodes
may also surface in the skin due to lymph congestion.
What the oil
specifically does is to increase the activity and flow of the lymph
throughout the body. By doing this, it helps the body get rid of wastes
more quickly and efficiently.
Using Castor Oil for Lymph Treatment
The
oil is applied externally to swollen lymph nodes in two ways: either
through massaging the oil directly into the skin, or by applying castor
oil packs, which refer to pieces of flannel that are soaked in the oil.
Castor
oil packs are placed over your lymph glands, which may be located in
the shoulders, groin, or near the upper back and neck. Because they are
put over your skin, the packs facilitate castor oil's rapid absorption
and healing effects directly into the body. There is clinical evidence,
which suggests that the packs can help boost lymphatic circulation.
Benefits of the Oil
Once the oil is absorbed through the skin, it causes several improvements to the lymph system. The benefits include:
- Better lymph flow and movement all through the body
- Faster removal of toxins that surround the cells
- Reduced size of swollen lymph nodes
- Increased production of lymphocytes (these are cells that are generated by the immune system to fight disease and are located in the lymphatic tissue)
- Enhanced function of the organs
- Improved overall health
The oil indeed has many therapeutic benefits for your
lymph. It is organic, inexpensive and very practical. If you are
suffering from swollen lymph nodes, isn't it the best time to try using
the oil? Remember to apply the oil for several days to a week to notice a
difference in the size of your lymph nodes.By
