Human health is endangered almost from the prenatal period due to environmental conditions and the characteristics of the production of most food products. Therefore, many people at one age or another are faced with the acute question of the need to cleanse the body. Timely and proper cleansing of lymph, blood and gastrointestinal tract will strengthen the immune system, increase vitality, and rejuvenate the body. Below we discuss the features of the process of independent work with lymph.
What is the lymphatic system for?
Lymph is a fluid that circulates between cells. It is mainly intended for nourishing and cleaning fabrics from “garbage”. In addition, lymph takes an active part in neutralizing toxins, harmful substances and pathogens.
When a person has serious diseases and pathologies, eats incorrectly, forgets about an active lifestyle, he experiences metabolic disorders. As a result, the lymphatic system becomes polluted and clogged with waste. This is easy to notice when the size of the lymph nodes increases. It’s not for nothing that when examining a patient with a cold, doctors feel the nodes behind the ears, under the lower jaws and on the neck. After all, these are kind of beacons signaling that inflammation is developing nearby, which the immune system was unable to cope with in time. Next, the body announces a general mobilization to fight the aggressor in the person of viruses, bacteria, toxins and other harmful substances that poison human life.
People pollute their bodies by smoking, inhaling city air, and eating unhealthy foods (fast food, sweet carbonated drinks, refined sugar, an abundance of white flour dishes, vegetables and fruits grown with the use of fertilizers, pesticides and other chemicals). Unfortunately, thoughts about cleansing the blood or lymph only come to mind after a serious health crisis. While prevention and systematic cleaning can improve your well-being, give you strength, your skin will have a healthy tone, and your hair and nails will stop breaking.
Never-ending spring
Alas, we are hopelessly spoiled by civilization, we grew up in conditions of poor ecology and constant seasonal infections, our immunity is weakened, and the lymphatic system is clogged and refuses to function properly. By the way, how does the human lymphatic system work? And what exactly is lymph cleansing?
The word "lymph" is translated from Latin as "pure water", and this is a more than appropriate name for one of the most important fluids in our body. After all, lymph is the main cleanser, it is constantly renewed, and this is an inexhaustible spring of health. These are the functions lymph performs in the human body.
- Constant exchange with blood; lymph gives water, microelements, proteins to the blood
- Removal of toxins and “extra” microelements
- Enzyme transfer
- Transport of fats
- Lymph washes away dead cells, removes toxins, and transports leukocytes that destroy harmful microorganisms, i.e. pure lymph is a source of immunity
“Clean water” in the body moves through the lymphatic vessels, is retained for filtration in the lymph nodes and constantly carries out its work. But what happens when the lymph is contaminated and slagged?
Decreased immunity, endless illnesses, swelling, allergies, poisoning of the body with toxins, insufficient absorption of necessary micro- and macroelements, impaired enzyme and fat metabolism - and this is not a complete list.
Poor lymphatic drainage in the legs, for example, leads to swelling and contributes to varicose veins. From here it is obvious: in order to lose weight, get rid of cellulite, strengthen the immune system, you need to strengthen the lymphatic system.
Lymph cleansing is carried out by accelerating lymph exchange and subsequent cleansing of the intestines, where waste released from the lymphatic system arrives. This can be achieved in many ways.
What methods does medicine offer to cleanse lymph?
Science is moving forward, so to save a person’s life, various devices have been created to purify the blood pumped out from the patient. After special processing it is returned back. This technique is called extracorporeal hemocorrection. This includes plasmapheresis and hemosorption.
If the patient’s life is not in danger, less radical methods can be used, for example:
- Lymph stimulation when outflow is regulated. It includes the following methods: mechanical (massage, yoga, gymnastics); physical (contrast shower, dry heat and wraps); chemical (use of lymphostimulants in combination with sorbents, as well as hirudin and clay therapy).
- Lymphoprotection, that is, improving the sorption properties of lymph due to the inclusion of dietary fiber, lactobacilli, adaptogens and vitamins in the diet.
- Lymphatic correction involves the introduction of drugs into the lymphatic system using physiotherapy.
If you notice constant fatigue, apathy, swelling and an unhealthy complexion, then it’s time to think about cleansing the lymphatic system. There are many options. The main ones will be discussed next.
Reviews
Getting acquainted with new methods for me, such as cleansing the blood, lymph nodes, etc., I try to learn as much as possible about its pros and cons. This case is like an exception: there are practically no downsides (except for obvious contraindications, of course). Most users report that in the first days of the course, as a rule, the symptoms became brighter and the problems worsened, but after 5-7 days everything began to get better. Nevertheless, each body is individual, so it is not recommended to prescribe this procedure for yourself without talking with a doctor.
What do the doctor's say
In principle, most doctors have nothing against gentle cleaning methods. But only if the person wishing to take the course consults a doctor beforehand and makes sure that there are no contraindications in his case.

Walker purification method
This method is suitable for people suffering from chronic thrombophlebitis, arthritis, arthrosis, spinal osteochondrosis, coronary heart disease and sinus inflammation.
- Clean the intestines in advance, and then repeat the enema once a week.
- A couple of days before the procedure, freeze 2-3 liters of spring water. On the day of cleaning, defrost it and pour it into another container, but so that no sediment gets into it.
- To prepare the composition you will need freshly squeezed juice of grapefruit, lemons and oranges in a ratio of 900:200:900. Pour 2 liters of melt water into this mixture.
- Start the morning with an enema, then drink a laxative (add 1 tablespoon of Glauber's salt to 100 ml of water).
- Take a hot shower, and then drink 200 ml of juice solution. Most often, after this, profuse sweating and frequent urge to bowel movement begin.
- Every 30 minutes, drink 100 ml of the product until it runs out.
It is not recommended to do cleansing more than once a year. Be careful, as there are contraindications - diabetes, allergies to citrus fruits and possible appendicitis.
Why should you cleanse the lymphatic system?
The list of exceptions is standard:
- It is better to eat all smoked meats, fast food, and sausages no more than once a week;
- Baked goods, sweets and candies - for special occasions;
- Alcohol, especially strong alcohol, should be avoided if you have problems with detox;
- Instant drinks, 3 in 1 coffee, instant noodles, semi-finished products - also use as a treat, if necessary;
- Cheap seasonings with flavor enhancers and sauces based on them, as well as chips, crackers and fried salted nuts - should be excluded forever
Sources of trans fats and chemicals can masquerade as healthy foods. Read labels and avoid anything that contains hydrogenated fats, fructose syrup, or flavor enhancers.
Butakova's method. Description and video
[ads-pc-1][ads-mob-1]
Indications for cleansing are detoxification of the body, congestion in the gallbladder, atopic dermatitis and other skin diseases, pathologies of the endocrine system and pelvic organs.
Dissolve 1 tablet of licorice root extract in 250 ml of hot water. Then drink 250 ml of coral water, that is, with the addition of a Coral Mine bag. Take 1 tablet of licorice extract three times throughout the day.
An hour after cleaning, take 2 tablets of brown algae, which is a natural sorbent. This is done so that toxins released from the lymph do not return to it, but leave the body. You should also take the tablet with coral water. The daily requirement is 2 tablets 3 times a day.
An additional cleansing and restorative effect comes from taking Artichoke extract (an alternative is lecithin, garlic) with nanoclusters. This helps clean the bile ducts. Artichoke is taken half an hour before meals three times a day, 1 capsule.
To replenish lost vitamins, Ultimate, spirulina, alfalfa, etc. are recommended. Activin is recommended to bind toxic substances. The regimen is the same as for Artichoke. Another important point: after cleansing, the intestines need to be populated with beneficial flora; for this, take Coral probiotic 3 times a day, 1 capsule. The cleaning course lasts 10-14 days.
Author's methods
There are a huge number of original methods on how to restore the lymphatic system, developed by serious scientists: doctors, naturopaths, etc. You can get acquainted with the personal experience of cleansing the lymph with oil of one of our authors here.
Walker Cleansing
This technique uses Glauber's salt, melt water and natural citrus juices. Walker's cleaning lasts three days. First, drink Glauber's salt on an empty stomach, do an enema with two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, and warm the body well in a hot shower.
Then, every half hour, take 100 g of a mixture of juices and water (for 900 g of grapefruit juice, take 900 g of orange juice and 2 liters of melt water - this is the amount of liquid you need to drink per day).
Cleaning according to Butakova
Butakova's method is three-stage. We expel toxins from the lymphatic system with licorice (3 tablets, they need to be dissolved in a glass of water), then (after 45 minutes) we take brown algae preparations (2 tablets) or activated carbon to absorb the expelled toxins, after which we replenish the loss of vitamins by taking special preparations ( coral water, etc.). But if you don’t want to spend money on coral water, you can simply take two vitamins after cleansing - two acids - folic and ascorbic.
After cleansing the lymph, you will feel an incredible surge of strength. All the consequences of an unhealthy lifestyle and problems with the immune system will go away and dissolve into the past. You will stop getting sick and suffering from allergies.
Sad and negative thoughts will leave your consciousness, they will be replaced by a thirst for activity and a continuous awareness of the joy of being.
Be healthy!
Licorice syrup and enterosgel
Licorice syrup and enterosgel for cleansing the lymphatic system. In this case, cleaning the lymphatic system is somewhat similar to the previous method, but is simpler. Pour 1 tablespoon of crushed licorice roots with a glass of boiling water, keep the container in a boiling water bath for 30 minutes. Cool, strain and add water to the original volume. The decoction should be drunk 5 tablespoons 5 times a day.
If you don’t have time to prepare a decoction, you can buy licorice syrup at the pharmacy. Dissolve 1 tablespoon of syrup in a glass of boiled water and drink in the morning on an empty stomach. Alternatively, take 2 tablets of licorice extract on an empty stomach.
30 minutes after drinking licorice, drink 1 tablespoon of Enterosgel. It absorbs all the harmful substances that licorice expelled from the lymph. You can eat food 60-80 minutes after Enterosgel. The course of cleansing is 14 days.
Medicinal herbs
Medicinal herbs for cleansing lymph are used in the form of decoctions and infusions. They are prepared in two ways. Dry ingredients can be poured with boiling water and left until the color of the liquid changes. Herbal infusions can be brewed in a thermos, but they will have to be infused for several hours (it is better to make the preparation overnight). In the first case, you will need a maximum of two tablespoons of herb per glass of boiling water, in the second - two tablespoons per standard thermos.
The following types of herbs help cleanse lymph:
- dandelion;
- knotweed;
- oregano;
- ephedra;
- yarrow;
- marsh cinquefoil;
- red clover flowers;
- licorice;
- fir;
- cleavers;
- blooming Sally.
Cleansing with celandine
This technique is recommended for people with high blood pressure, hemorrhoids, diseases of the digestive system, osteochondrosis and psoriasis. To carry out this procedure, you will have to stock up on a tincture of freshly picked celandine in advance. At the end of April - beginning of May, collect celandine grass in a sunny clearing away from roads. Rinse the plant with water and pass through a meat grinder. Squeeze the resulting pulp through cheesecloth. Pour 70 g of medical alcohol into 450 ml of juice. Store the liquid in a tightly sealed dark glass container in the refrigerator.
Cleansing the lymphatic system is carried out according to the following scheme: before breakfast, take 1 drop, before lunch - 2, and before dinner - 3. The next day, start with 3 drops and increase the dosage by 1 drop at each subsequent meal. Thus, you will reach 15 drops, and then gradually reduce the amount of medicine taken.
Possible side effects
Licorice root is often used to cleanse the lymph. Please note that this component should not be used with medications for heart failure and medications that lower blood pressure - the syrup can cause muscle atrophy, arrhythmia and myopathy. In addition, licorice removes potassium from the body, so those who take diuretics should avoid syrup.
Side effects such as dizziness, joint pain, liver dysfunction and nausea are quite expected if the dosage is exceeded.
Onions and garlic to cleanse lymph
This technique is more suitable for patients suffering from arthritis, liver and kidney diseases, as well as those who have warts and intestinal parasites. Pre-prepare a decoction. Take 1 head of onion and garlic and, without peeling the skin, cut them into small pieces. Wash 1 lemon and cut into slices along with the peel. Place all ingredients in a saucepan and pour in 1 liter of milk, bring the mixture to a boil and keep on low heat for several minutes. When the broth has cooled, pass it through cheesecloth. The result will be 4 cups of liquid, which should be stored in the refrigerator.
The course of treatment lasts 4 days. Every day, half an hour before meals, drink half a glass of the decoction twice a day. At the same time, you should not eat dairy products or hard-to-digest foods. Treatment can be repeated 2 times a year.

Plants for cleansing lymph
- In the evening, pour 1 tablespoon of dried oregano into a thermos and pour a glass of boiling water, strain in the morning. Drink 1/3 cup infusion 3 times a day before meals. The course lasts 3 weeks, then there is a break for a week, and then again a 3-week intake of oregano infusion.
- Grind fresh roots, shoots and leaves of cinquefoil into a 1-liter jar. In this case, the dishes should be 1/3 full, and then slowly pour boiling water to the top. Close the jar and place in a cool, dark place for 2 weeks. A solution from one jar is designed for a cleansing course. The medicine is taken 1 teaspoon before meals 3-4 times a day. After 20 days, you need to repeat the use of the product, so take care of a new infusion in advance. Then again a 20-day rest and repeat the procedure.
- Boil 400 g of aspen bark in 2 liters of water for 30 minutes. Leave for 6 hours. Strain and then add medical alcohol at the rate of 150 ml per 1 liter of decoction. Drink 1 dessert spoon after any meal for 3 days. For the next 7 days, use the same, but 2 tablespoons each. After a 5-day break, repeat the cleansing course.
- Peel the horseradish roots and pass them through a meat grinder. Mix horseradish pulp and cold boiled water in a 1:1 ratio. Take 1 teaspoon of the mixture before meals three times a day. The course of admission is 10 days.
The need for personal hygiene to protect lymph from contamination
The composition of blood and lymph directly depends on the healthy state of the external skin, mucous membranes, as well as the normal functioning of internal organs. The following measures contribute to the rapid purification of biological fluids from poisons and parasitic microorganisms:
- daily bowel movements
- thorough washing of vegetable root vegetables, fruits
- alternating cold and hot water procedures in the morning
- weekly visit to a hot bath (sauna)
- brushing teeth and gums twice a day
- frequent hand washing throughout the day
- wearing a protective bandage for the nose and mouth during periods of epidemics
- avoiding hypothermia in winter and overheating in summer
- taking medications prescribed by your doctor correctly
- eliminating unhealthy habits
If you follow these simple rules, the human body can independently cope with pathogenic microbes (coming from the external environment) even at the stage of processing them with saliva and physiological mucus of the nasopharynx.
Each disease develops due to insufficient immune defense due to contamination of the lymphatic fluid and blood, and self-cleansing of the body is achieved exclusively by a healthy lifestyle.
Procedures for medicinal restoration of the functions of the lymphatic system should be started only after individual recommendations from doctors, otherwise uncontrolled self-medication can cause severe intoxication of the body, as well as irreversible disruption of metabolic processes. As a result, pathological changes in the tissues of the body organs occur.
