The Importance of the Lymphatic System and How Cannabis Can Help

cannabis and lymphatic system

The Lymphatic System is one of the most important parts of the human body. Interestingly enough, not many people pay attention to it at all. Many illnesses are related to the lymphatic system. It forms part of the immune system and untreated lymphological problems can cause serious disorders. The lymphatic system can be seen as the highway of the immune system where immune cells get transported.

 

What Functions does the Lymphatic System Have?

The lymphatic system is literally a drainage system. It has a network of fine tubes all over the body. It consists of lymph nodes that drain fluid that leaked from the blood vessels into the tissues back to the bloodstream. The purpose of the lymphatic system is to:

              Control and manage fluid levels in the body

              Respond to bacteria and act on them

              Take care of cancer cells

              Take care of cells that could cause illnesses

              Absorb some of the fats in our diet from the intestines

The lymph nodes work together with the spleen and the thymus to release lymphocytes or white blood cells whenever there is a need for antibodies against bacteria, viruses or any other abnormality.

 

How do you know that your Lymphatic System is out of Control?

One of the first symptoms of a disorderly lymphatic system is Lymphedema. This results in swelling of legs and arms and even your fingers or toes. You might experience a heaviness around the area. Other symptoms could also include:

  • Skin changes and skin discoloration
  • Blisters and infections}
  • Fluid leaking through the skin
  • Breathing and swallowing problems when it is in the neck

When lymphatic problems are not treated, it can develop into more serious problems like:

  • Cancer like Lymphoma
  • Hodgkin Lymphoma
  • Lymphoedema

 

CBD Oil: An Effective Treatment for the Lymphatic System

CBD or Cannabidiol is very effective in the treatment of the Lymphatic System. We have already seen that the lymphatic system includes lymph nodes, lymph vessels, the spleen, tonsils, adenoids, and the thymus gland. Bone marrow and lymphocytes also form part of this very important system of our bodies.

The cannabinoids in CBD interacts with our endocannabinoid system. Together the aim is to create homeostasis. CB1 and CB2 receptors are found in the brain, the digestive, and lymphatic system. Cannabinoids bind very well with lipids and as a result increase significantly intestinal lymphatic transport. The lymphatic system is crucial in detoxifying the immune system. Weirdly, doctors often overlook the lymphatic system for finding the cause for chronic diseases. To get the lymphatic system to work in optimal condition should be a prime focal point.

Detoxing the lymphatic system is a very good way to ensure good health. This can be done by eating wholesome food, do exercises, deep breathing, a cleaner environment, and dry brushing and messaging. Messaging the body with a high-quality CBD oil has an amazing effect on helping the lymphatic system to detox and work at peak condition.

 

The Cannabinoid CBG and the Lymphatic System

CBG or Cannabigerol is also a cannabinoid with amazing benefits. Similar to CBD, it has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-convulsive, antibacterial, anti-insomnia, and antiproliferative properties. The anti-inflammatory properties make CBG a very effective cannabinoid to treat lymph node inflammation.

 

What is Lymph node Inflammation?

Lymph nodes are very small oval-shaped organs that carry the immune cells to invade and attack anything like viruses and foreign attackers. Lymph nodes also are known as lymph glands. They are found in places like the neck, armpits, and groin. When you get sick, the lymph nodes get swollen and painful as it works in getting rid of the bacteria or viruses.

 

What happens when your lymph nodes are inflamed?

The symptoms of having inflamed lymph nodes are:

  • Fever and night sweats
  • Appetite loss and abdominal pain
  • Sore throat and runny nose
  • Local infection
  • Red spots over the body (sometimes)
  • Inflammation of multiple lymph nodes or just one

 

Using CBG to treat the Inflammation

The CBG cannabinoids interact with the cannabinoid receptors and help to relieve inflammation and pain. It helps to:

  • Relieve Chronic Pain – CBG has proven to relieve not just pain, but also neuropathic issues related to chemotherapy and autoimmune disorders
  • Stops Nausea and Vomiting – The antiemetic properties of stops nausea and vomiting. It is especially helpful when something like chemotherapy is applied.
  • Promotes Healthy Sleeping Patterns- Sleep often gets disturbed when a person is sick. Cannabigerol helps people to sleep deeper and sounder. During sleep, the body heals faster.
  • Lowers Anxiety – CBG helps to restrict the neurotransmitter GABA and as a result, reduces the anxiety that is caused by inflamed lymph nodes.

 

Final Thoughts

The importance of the lymphatic system is very much misunderstood. People tend to not pay too much attention to the lymphatic system. Seeing that it is the drainage system of the body, a healthy lymphatic system promotes a healthy body. Cannabis is very effective in helping the lymphatic system to bring homeostasis to the body as a whole.
