Give the drains in your body a boost with this powerful lymph booster juice!
The lymphatic system is the body’s internal drainage system, which is designed to rid your blood of acidic and toxic waste (the lymph system filters these toxins into our body’s major detox organs, the liver and kidneys).
For detoxification, it is important that the detox channels of the lymphatic system are open so that your body can regulate proper toxin removal from the body. If the lymphatic system is congested, the toxins will simply remain in your system, which can manifest as a host of different chronic diseases, including cancer.
This juice is rich in chlorophyll, which helps purify the blood, and in turn, cleanses the lymph. Citrus fruit like grapefruit and lemon also have wonderful astringent properties, which increase lymph flow and remove any blockages.
Another important ingredient in this juice is burdock root, which stimulates detoxification of the lymphatic system. It is also a natural blood cleanser, and it can help your body ward off a host of different ailments. It is a potent anti-inflammatory, and contains a host of beneficial antioxidants.
