5 LYMPHATIC SYSTEM MYTHS – DEBUNKED

1. Myth: The lymphatic system “expels waste” through the armpits.

👉 Fact: The lymphatic system filters lymph fluid and returns it to the bloodstream. Waste is removed mainly by the liver, kidneys, skin, and gut, not just the armpits.

2. Myth: Sweating is the main way the lymphatic system detoxes.

👉 Fact: Sweat helps with temperature regulation and removes a little waste, but most detox happens through the liver and bowels.

3. Myth: You can’t control your lymphatic health.

👉 Fact: Movement, deep breathing, hydration, dry brushing, and manual lymph drainage all actively stimulate lymph flow.

4. Myth: Lymphatic massage is unsafe after surgery.

👉 Fact: With the right technique and timing (guided by a trained therapist), lymphatic drainage is safe and often beneficial post-surgery, helping reduce swelling and scar tissue.

5. Myth: Lymphatic congestion is only “water weight.”

👉 Fact: It often involves inflammation, immune activity, and poor circulation, which can affect energy, brain clarity, and pain levels.
