Benefits of licorice

Licorice or licorice is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the legume family. Its roots are of therapeutic value, where a significant amount of saponins accumulate, which have a positive effect on the functioning of the endocrine system.

Thanks to this component, there is a cleansing effect:

• lymph circulation is stimulated due to its liquefaction (the same happens with blood),
• harmful substances and toxins are naturally removed,
• inflammatory processes are reduced.

Thanks to its more fluid state, the lymphatic system increases its ability to cleanse itself. There is also an increase in fat metabolism, which is important for people suffering from excess weight.

When using licorice in combination with adsorbents, harmful components are removed from the intestines and slagging is reduced. Thanks to this, a person begins to feel better and feels a surge of vitality and energy.

In people, swelling of the lower extremities subsides, the condition of the skin and its derivatives improves, immunity is strengthened, which increases the body's resistance to infectious microorganisms.

1. The general condition improves.

Ridding the lymphatic system of waste and toxins will be much more successful if you adhere to an active lifestyle, do not forget about exercise, and practice a balanced diet. General massage is useful.

• bronchitis, tracheitis, tonsillitis and pneumonia,
• regular inflammation of the nasopharynx and maxillary sinuses,
• dermatological problems,
• discomfort or pain in the joints,

It will also be useful to cleanse the body after taking medications for a long time, especially if they are antibiotics or hormonal drugs. Persons living in unfavorable environmental conditions must constantly remove harmful components from the body.

The note. Even if a person feels well, it is recommended to remove harmful substances from the body after long feasts, winter, or if a person’s work does not allow him to move actively. Such prevention will help prevent many diseases in the future.

Physiology of the lymphatic system

The lymphatic system is necessary for the absorption and removal of all harmful compounds from the human body. It consists of lymphatic vessels, capillaries, and lymph nodes. Lymph nodes accumulate harmful substances, bacteria, and allergens. If there is any infection, they begin to work hard, increasing in size. The nodes are enriched with lymphocytes, which perform a protective function (kill bacteria, viruses). Lymph nodes are interconnected by vessels, which ensures gradual transmission of lymph.

Lymph nodes are often located in groups in certain areas. Each group is responsible for its own area of ​​the body. The following groups of lymph nodes are distinguished: occipital cervical (posterior cervical, anterior cervical), axillary, subclavian, inguinal, popliteal. They are of great diagnostic value for the doctor when examining a patient.

With respiratory pathologies, the cervical group of lymph nodes, submandibular, and occipital nodes increases in size, since the source of infection is often located in the larynx. If the inguinal lymph nodes are enlarged, then there may be inflammation or infection in the pelvic cavity. Axillary nodes may become enlarged with breast cancer. If all lymph nodes are enlarged, this indicates the presence of a serious disease - lymphogranulomatosis.

In the vessels of the lymphatic system there are only valves that prevent fluid from moving in the opposite direction. Lymph moves much more slowly compared to blood vessels. Lymphatic fluid moves from peripheral organs and tissues to the center. After small capillaries, lymph moves into large vessels that flow into ducts. The largest is the thoracic duct. From it, lymphatic fluid enters the superior vena cava of the liver. The liver cleanses the lymphatic fluid, and all collected harmful substances enter the intestinal cavity. Toxins are removed from the body through bowel movements.
