Morning Lymphatic Flush
Your lymphatic system has no pump — gentle movement moves it. Before getting out of bed:
- Deep belly breathing (1 min) — inhale 4 counts, exhale 6. Long exhales activate the vagus nerve and gently move lymph.
- Neck clears (1 min) — soft circles at the base of each ear and along the collarbone, where lymph drains.
- Dry brush (1 min, optional) — light strokes toward the heart, always upward.
- Ankle pumps + leg sweeps (2 min) — flex and point each foot 20 times, then slow leg sweeps to open the hips.
Do this daily, especially on low-energy or puffy mornings.
Not medical advice — talk to your care team before starting any new routine, especially after surgery or with active swelling.
