Waste generation increases with Lyme and it also slows waste processing down. Prioritize moving waste out in your daily routines. I put practices in place I do at home every day to help me keep lymph flowing and waste moving. I also go to an X-Tract practitioner for deeper support.
X-Tract assists lymph drainage with essential oils and movement. Lyme disease likens to having a waste processing plant completely overloaded. X-Tract is a sound way to give some extra help to up waste collection and excretion.
Waste moves out of our body mainly through our skin, kidneys, and anus in our sweat, urine and feces. Waste is generated every day and as a byproduct of food, medicines, supplements, drink, activity, what you apply to your body and infections like Lyme. If you have a bunch of chronic infections they are loading your waste disposal system with their trash.
Detoxificaton is a Fundamental Part Of Rebuilding From Lyme
Minimze toxins is one of the 6 M’s of selfcare to support healing from Lyme disease. This means keeping the toxin level in the body low. Move toxins out of the body rather than have them accumulate in the body.
Lymph is the waste collection fluid in the body. Lymph is a major liquid component in our body. In order to work it must flow. Muscle action moves lymph. Often people with Lyme disease are curtailed in their movement and suffer from stagnant lymph. Lymph can become sludgy and stuck due to excess waste load or lack of movement.
Terms like lymphodema, edema and swollen all reflect differing degrees of stagnant lymph. If lymph is not moving it can’t escort waste to the processing stations get collected and excreted. Waste that is not processed or removed accumulates and contributes to dysfunction then disease.
Essential Oils support Detoxification in a number of ways.
Essential oils are super concentrated plant essence or combinations of plant essences, some in a carrier oil. You want the purest organic essence you can buy. You should smell nothing but the plant and it should smell amazing. If you smell solvent or chemical, in the tester, put it back. I am not an expert, so I buy from someone I trust who uses and sells oils and skip the stuff in the store. Click this link for some guidelines to purchase quality essential oils.
