Stress and its effect on the lymphatic system

When we experience stress, cortisol (a stress fighting hormone) is released resulting in metabolic acidosis. Cortisol’s acidic nature can cause a breakdown of lymphatic tissue and impedes the lymphatic flow. Chronic exposure to cortisol can suppress immune function, reducing the circulation of protective antibodies from and thus increasing our susceptibility to infection and disease. The reduction of lymphatic flow can also compromise the digestive system resulting in bloating, Constipation, and weight gain.

Results are noticeable in as little as a single session, especially to aid in sleep and relaxation, as well as relieving bloating and puffiness that is caused by water retention.
