The lymphatic system of the human body The lymphatic system of the human body Many people have heard that massage can cure diseases and lose weight, however, few people can say what the principle of this is. Today we will talk about the relationship between massage and lymph. Chinese medicine talk about massage, most will be associated with the meridians. And for modern medicine, here can not help but mention the human lymphatic system. The following chart, is the human lymphatic system distribution diagram. Look, is it distributed throughout the human body? Yes. This must be the case. Speaking of the lymphatic system, what role does it play in the body? The role of the lymphatic system is divided into these two major areas: First: the role of filtration. Just like the role of the car’s air filter, machine filter, air filter, the main role of the lymphatic system is to filter the waste in the human blood, which is mainly the body’s metabolic substances. Just as we produce waste from any product, we know that cells produce certain waste when they take in nutrients and oxygen to produce energy. These substances, although initially absorbed into the veins, are not a complete process, so the lymphatic system goes further to absorb this additional waste and carry it away instead of the veins, and while purifying it, it flows back to the veins once again. The lymphatic fluid circulating in the lymphatic system is turned from blood plasma, but is clearer and more watery than blood plasma, and can penetrate from the microvascular walls into the tissue space. Therefore, as shown above, the lymphatic system is like a net that filters the blood of the body effectively. The lymphatic system of the human body So where does the lymphatic system get its power to work? It does not have a pump like the heart to press the lymphatic fluid. New tissue fluid flows into the fluid in the spaces between cells squeezing into the lymphatic vessels. Tension and contraction of arteries and muscles also exert forward pressure on the lymphatic fluid. Respiration then creates a negative pressure in the thoracic duct that causes lymphatic fluid to flow upward and back into the bloodstream. Therefore, the reason why exercise, can increase the immunity of the body, in fact, is also very simple: exercise makes the muscles contract constantly to squeeze the lymphatic fluid back to the speed. Second: immune function. In fact, this role and the first role is one and the same, filtering, is certainly to leave the good, remove the waste. And when the waste is removed, it is also an effective immunization of the body. The filtering effect of the lymph nodes is most obvious in this regard. It is like a crossroads on a city highway, through which all the cars coming from all directions have to be filtered and screened. The spleen is the largest lymphatic organ, which filters the blood, removes senile red blood cells, and normally serves as a blood bank to reserve excess blood. As a result, many people who have had their spleen removed as a result of a car accident will have their immune function affected in various ways. If something goes wrong with the lymphatic system, two things will go wrong: first, the body will gain weight, and second, it is the body’s immune function that will be reduced. The reason why the body will become fat, from traditional Chinese medicine, is heavy dampness. Modern medicine believes that water stagnation, resulting in people swelling. As the saying goes, running water does not rot. If this waste is not cleared away in time, it will carry out destructive activities in the corresponding tissues and organs, and fatigue and soreness will occur, and even tumors will occur. There are many reasons for the dysfunction of the lymphatic system, including junk food, in which additives are the most harmful, and storage such as melamine and other things; air conditioning and cold working and living environment, causing the body fluids to run slower. Friends interested in Chinese medicine must know that Chinese medicine has a three jiao meridian. This meridian is the most controversial. In fact, one way to mention it is that the Sanjiao meridian mentioned in Chinese medicine is the lymphatic system in modern medicine. So, when a TCM practitioner tells you that the San Jiao is not working, you should actually know that he is saying that there is something wrong with your lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is actually a supplement or auxiliary system to the venous blood system. A large part of what massage does is actually stimulate and squeeze the lymphatic fluid back into the body. I have focused on getting people to massage the groin, a location where the body’s very important lymph nodes are concentrated, in the article “3 Kung Fu Methods to Make You More Man”. When we initially massage here, due to the accumulation of years and years, this place will be very painful to press down, indicating that the lymphatic system here does not work. Pass is not pain, pain is not pass, that is the truth. But if we massage this area regularly, we will feel less and less lumps and bumps here, there is a feeling of emptiness, and it no longer feels painful. At this time we will be surprised to find that our thighs have become thinner and our stomachs have become flatter. This is what lymphatic massage can do. If you really understand the meaning of this article, you will know the role of massage scraping, in fact, is to help your lymphatic system to function and work properly, when it is functioning properly, our people will be healthy, the Avenue to the simple.
