Had a wonderful chance to make a personalized batch of tea for a client looking for help with lymphatic drainage. Although I am not a doctor and all of my experience is anecdotal, I do love doing research to help as many as I can. I do not claim to cure, but if I can create something that helpa someone in even the smallest amount, it brings me joy.

Let me share the recipe for you and why these herbs are beneficial:

Astralagus- an immune booster and diuretic that also had antibacterial and antiviral properties.

Calendula- helps with gastrointestinal inflammation. If your gut isn't working well, you might have issues with processing food and nutrients.

Cleavers- promotes urination and to stimulate the lymphatic system.

Dandelion- diuretic and aid to kidney function. You need to be able to expell what is blocked up in your body cause the edema.

Echinacea- to strengthen and clear the lymph nodes

Ginger- enhances immune function and increases blood circulation.

Nettles- a mineral rich plant that helps build healthy blood, bones, joints, and skin. They also have an anti-inflammatory properties.

Red clover- another blood purifier that helps with swollen lymph glands and liver detoxification.

Combine equal parts of all of these. Place 1tbsp in a cup of hot water for 5-7min. Add honey to taste if desired. Reuse your tea bags a se and time to get the most out of your herbs. 2-4 cups per day would be most beneficial.
