Lymph is a colourless fluid that circulates in the lymphatic vessels thanks to the pulsating contractions of the muscles and blood vessels. It drains excess fluid, toxins and cellular debris. Nodes located along the lymphatic vessels, particularly in the groin, under the arms, on each side of the neck and on the walls of the small intestine, filter the lymph and eliminate the toxins it carries. Deficient lymph circulation can weaken and intoxicate the body, leading to various health problems: swollen limbs, premature ageing, cellulite, heavy legs, stretch marks, etc.
