Maintaining a healthy lymphatic system is vital as it helps to improve lymphatic circulation and stay in shape. To have better lymphatic health, we must understand how it works.
How does
the lymphatic system
work in our body?
There are 2 main circulatory systems in our body – the lymphatic system and the cardiovascular system.
The cardiovascular system is responsible for blood circulationby the heart pumping and it delivers oxygen and nutrients to every cell in the body. On the other hand, the lymphatic system needs muscle contraction to push the circulation of lymph fluid.
The lymphatic system consists of lymphatic vessels, lymphoid organs, lymphoid tissues, and lymph nodes.
It helps filter body tissue fluid, fight against bacteria, and detox simultaneously.
What are the adverse impacts of poor lymphatic circulation?
Do you notice that aging and bad habits such as lack of exercise and prolonged standing or sitting will affect our lymphatic circulation1?
If we neglect the lymphatic health, our body may show the following symptoms!
Sore
Muscles
Poor lymphatic circulation might lead to sore muscles, back pain, swollen limbs and slower recovery of muscles after workout.
Appearance of Cellulite
Study proved that swollen lymph nodes can lead the formation of cellulite and affect skin appearance2.
Toxins
Accumulation
The lymphatic system is responsible for detoxification and immune health. Poor lymphatic circulation accumulates toxins in the body and affects immune function. It also causes our body or limbs puffiness.
How can we improve
lymphatic health in daily life?
By understanding the negative impacts of poor lymphatic circulation, it's time to learn how to improve lymphatic health in our daily life.
✔ Regular Exercise
Regular exercise helps strengthen muscle contraction and hence pushes the movement of lymph fluid and maintain a healthy lymphatic system.
✔ Massage
The pressure put on the muscle during massage helps push the movement of lymph fluid and relieve swollen limbs to reduce the risk of poor lymphatic circulation and excessive accumulation of lymph fluid.
✔ Dietary Habit
Avoiding excessive oil, salt, sugar and processed food intake can lower the risk of obesity and swollen limbs. Besides, absorbing more high in fibre foods and adequate amount of water improves body detoxification.
A more scientific approach to improve lymphatic health
Apart from improving lymphatic health in our daily life, using a more scientific approach can help to improve lymphatic health more effectively and efficiently!
Using microcurrent to improve lymphatic circulation
Pulsing current can generate physical vibrations through the skin to stimulate nitric oxide for increasing vasodilation and driving microcirculation.
Biphasic pulsing direct current can increase the permeability of the epidermis,
when combined with other products (such as massage gel) will enhance skin absorption.
It is essential to maintain the balance between receiving the highest current intensity and the skin's comfort level when we use pulsing current.
Continuous comfort control microcurrent can continuously adapt to the conductivity of the skin during the treatment process. It allows the current to increase or decrease within milliseconds, which reduces the irritation of the current to the skin and maintains the comfort of the treatment.
Herbal topicals are good for maintaining better lymphatic health!
Applying products containing specific ingredients that can target skin tissues or cells helps to promote lymphatic circulation and maintain a healthy lymphatic system.
They can also nourish, firm and tighten the skin for a youthful appearance.

Enhance your lymphatic circulation with advanced technology and ingredients science
We have learnt the importance of a healthy lymphatic system. Poor lymphatic circulation leads to toxins accumulation and results in sore muscle, body swelling and puffing. An improved lifestyle could help to enhance body detoxification and lymphatic health.
But with the advancement in technology, we now can stimulate lymphatic circulation with the use of microcurrent technology and products with specific ingredients. By improving lymphatic health, we could achieve a balanced in inner and outer beauty as our body will be able to recover faster and detox more efficiently, at the same time the skin is nourished.
