Lymphatic Congestion Personal Story
- Stephanie Canestraro experienced severe lymphatic congestion in her left breast due to undiagnosed Lyme disease.
- Her swollen breast was a clear sign of lymphatic stagnation linked to infection and inflammation.
Lymphatic System Overview
- The lymphatic system acts as the body's sewage system by collecting and filtering waste and pathogens.
- 75% of the body's lymph drains through the left lymphatic duct, which connects back to the circulatory system.
Lymph Drainage Order
- Lymphatic drainage always starts at the clavicle near the collarbone to open the lymphatic trunks.
- Drainage proceeds to neck, arms, elbows, and wrists for effective lymph flow clearing.
