Ways to decrease inflammation

Stay Hydrated – Lymph is 90% water. Even mild dehydration slows it down. Sip water and herbal teas like nettle or dandelion.

● Eat an Anti-Inflammatory Diet – Include greens, berries, and omega-3s like avocados, olives, and fatty fish. Limit processed, salty, and sugary foods that can cause stagnation.

● Cruciferous Vegetables – Broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower support liver and lymph detox

● Move Daily – Walking, yoga, and gentle bouncing (rebounding) all promote circulation and lymph flow.

● Dry Brushing – Use a natural bristle brush before your shower to stimulate lymphatic vessels under the skin.

● Deep Breathing – Practice diaphragmatic breathing to pump lymph fluid and reduce congestion

● Soak in an Epsom salt bath or use magnesium oil for a gentle self massage.

● Weekly Boost – Add foam rolling, compression garments, or an infrared sauna session to enhance circulation.
