Dear All!

Your lymphatic system is a part of circulatory system.

As it’s known the lymphatic fluid is a static fluid.

How does lymphatic system look like?

Below is a simple drawing of it:

How does it work?

Here is an animation of the functioning of your lymphatic system^[2]:

How can we help the circulation of the lymphatic fluid?

There are number of ways, which include movement, activities, cardio, athletics, manual therapies and a lot more.

But the most effective, energy saving and easy to perform is the Inversion Therapy.

Why?

First and foremost, when we are upside down, the gravity is doing its job itself to improve the movement of lymphatic liquid and open your blocked lymph vessels.

Secondly, whatever you do while inverted, there is not such effort as to all other methods.

Finally, you can do it anywhere and anytime you want.

Who will benefit form that?

Everyone: at any age and of any type of personality.

This will be beneficial for people who don’t walk too often, those who sit a long time in one position, for people with static work, for elderly people and many more.

Inversion therapy could be performed in several different ways, for example:

Yoga
Pilates
Aerial yoga
Gravity boots
Inversion chairs
Inversion tables

As I have been using inversion table for more than 5 years, I will show you some exercises on it, with which you will stimulate and activate the circulation of the lymphatic fluid throughout your body.

The set of exercises are:

This is one cycle
We do 5 cycles

Results:

2^nd Exercise: Breathing – Bhastrika

While you are still at that pose do 3 rounds of 10 reps of forceful inhalation and exhalation, which is called Bhastrica breathing^[3], as known as Breath of Fire:

We start slowly on the first round with active Inhalation to the top of your head, opening your chest, and follows with passive exhalation.
We repeat this sequence x10 times, which is one round.
Then we will do 3 rounds.

Then we do the next 2 rounds with a faster pace.
