WHAT IS THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM?

think of the lymphatic system as your body’s emotional janitor and drainage crew. it’s part of your immune system, and it does the following:

• filters waste, toxins, and pathogens

• moves lymph (a clear fluid) through your body

• helps circulate white blood cells

• absorbs fats from your digestive system

• balances fluids in your tissues

it’s made up of:

• lymph (fluid)

• lymph nodes (filter stations)

• lymphatic vessels (the pipelines)

• spleen, thymus, tonsils, bone marrow (support squad)

your heart pumps blood, but your lymph has no pump. it moves through muscle movement, breath, and manual stimulation. no movement = no drainage = sluggish, bloated, toxic vibes

WHAT IS LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE?

lymphatic drainage is the process of stimulating lymph flow to help it do its job faster and more efficiently. this can be done manually with massage or with tools/devices. it’s like giving your internal plumbing system a nudge.

benefits?

• reduced swelling/inflammation

• glowing skin

• decreased bloating

• boosted immunity

• improved healing post-surgery

• less brain fog

• reduced cellulite appearance

• de-puffing (hello, snatched face + jawline)

WHY YOUR LYMPH SYSTEM LOWKEY RUNS YOUR LIFE

when your lymph is stagnant, it doesn’t just affect your body it affects your mood, energy, skin, digestion, even spiritual flow. (yes, your energy field has drainage, too.)

poor lymph flow can lead to:

• chronic fatigue/ laziness/ procrastination

• frequent colds/infections

• puffy face or limbs

• brain fog

• digestive issues

• poor healing

• acne + skin flare-ups

• fibromyalgia or pain syndromes

this is your sign to stop ignoring your lymph.

SIGNS YOUR LYMPHATIC SYSTEM MIGHT BE CONGESTED

• you wake up puffy AF

• you get sick a lot

• your skin looks dull or acne-prone

• you always feel bloated or heavy

• your eyes feel heavy/tired

• you have sinus issues

• your underarms or groin feel tender (lymph node overload)

• water retention that won’t go away

TYPES OF LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE

A. MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE (MLD)

• slow, rhythmic, skin-stretching strokes

• developed by Dr. Emil Vodder

• done by trained therapists or at home

• moves lymph from extremities toward nodes

B. MECHANICAL DRAINAGE

• compression suits (like Normatec)

• vacuum suction (like LPG Endermologie)

• electric rollers + vibration plates

C. INTERNAL (NATURAL)

• breathwork

• rebounding (trampoline bouncing)

• dry brushing

• sauna/sweating

• hydration

• movement & inversion yoga

HOW TO DO MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE AT HOME

PREP:

• be well-hydrated

• be relaxed (stimulating lymph in stress = nah)

• use a dry brush or clean hands

FACE:

1. start at collarbone, gently massage down and out

2. jawline → ears → down neck

3. under eyes → temples → down sides of face

4. forehead → temples → behind ears → down neck

5. always drain downwards toward collarbone

BODY:

1. start at armpits

2. stroke down from arms to armpits

3. belly massage in clockwise circular motions

4. groin lymph massage with gentle circular movement

5. legs: ankles upward to thighs, ending at groin

tip: Always go from distal to proximal, meaning far-to-close to the heart. And be gentle lymph is superficial, you don’t need deep pressure.

DEVICES THAT CAN HELP

for the face:

• gua sha (natural, ancient, sculpting goddess magic) (i use this)

• jade rollers (cooling and de-puffing)

• Foreo Bear or NuFace (microcurrent tools)

• ice globes (i use this)

• vibrating massagers (i use this)

for the body:

• dry brushes (firm bristle brush for exfoliation + flow) (i use this)

• lymphatic paddle boards (i use this)

• compression boots (used by athletes + lymphatic clinics)

• vibration plates (you stand and it shakes your lymph awake)

• infrared sauna blankets

• LPG Endermologie machines

LYMPH-FRIENDLY LIFESTYLE HACKS

FOODS:

• raw fruits (pineapple, berries, citrus)

• leafy greens

• ginger + turmeric

• dandelion root

• seaweed

• chlorella + spirulina

• omega-3 rich foods

HERBS:

• red clover

• cleavers

• echinacea

• astragalus

HABITS:

• drink water (especially warm lemon water)

• move daily (walk, yoga, stretch)

• alternate hot + cold showers

• dry brush before shower

• rebound on mini-trampoline

• sleep well (drainage is boosted in deep sleep)

LYMPH + BEAUTY

• lymphatic drainage de-puffs the face like magic

• stimulates collagen production

• clears breakouts by boosting detox

• reduces dark circles

• tightens jawline and cheekbones

• boosts skincare absorption

SPIRITUAL + ENERGETIC LAYER

in many healing traditions (like Ayurveda, TCM), lymph = life fluid. congestion = blocked emotional energy

blocked lymph = blocked creativity, blocked intuition, blocked glow.

draining the lymph = restoring your internal flow, your connection to Self, Source, and spirit.

you wanna shine? clear your waters.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU DO LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE?

• face: daily or every other day

• body: 3x a week minimum

• post-op: depends on doctor’s advice

• vibration plates/compression boots: 15–30 mins a few times a week

CONTRAINDICATIONS + SAFETY

don’t do lymphatic drainage if:

• you have active cancer

• you have infections or fever

• you have blood clots or deep vein thrombosis

• you are pregnant (only do under supervision)

• you’ve had heart or kidney issues (speak to a doc first)

always listen to your body. gentle is good. pain is not.

FINAL WORD

your lymphatic system is like your inner spa therapist, immune defense squad, and emotional sponge rolled into one. don’t sleep on it.

if you want:

• snatched cheekbones

• less puffiness

• glowing, radiant skin

• fewer colds

• balanced moods

• deep detox

• emotional flow

then lymphatic drainage isn’t optional. it’s essential. give your body the love, movement, and flow it deserves.

Ayurvedic Secrets to Radiant Skin: Understanding Your Dosha and Simple Homemade Skincare

In the pursuit of healthy, glowing skin, many of us seek solutions in expensive creams, serums, and treatments. But what if the key to vibrant skin lies in ancient wisdom that's been practiced for centuries?

Welcome to the world of Ayurveda, where the holistic approach to skincare goes beyond topical treatments to address the root causes of skin imbalances.

What is Ayurveda?

Ayurveda, often called the "science of life," is an ancient healing system that originated in India thousands of years ago. At its core is the belief that our well-being is intricately connected to the balance of three fundamental energies known as doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.

Understanding Your Dosha:

Each person is born with a unique combination of these doshas, which influence not only our physical characteristics but also our mental and emotional tendencies. By identifying your dominant dosha, you can tailor your skincare routine to address specific skin concerns effectively.

Vata Dosha: If you have Vata-dominant skin, you may notice tendencies toward dryness, flakiness, and sensitivity. Vata skin often feels parched and is prone to premature aging. To nurture Vata skin, focus on moisturizing and nourishing practices.

Skincare Routine: Massage your skin with warm sesame oil to deeply moisturize and improve circulation. Use gentle, hydrating cleansers and rich, emollient creams to lock in moisture.

Homemade Recipe: Create a hydrating face mask by mixing mashed avocado with honey and a few drops of almond oil. Leave it on for 15 minutes before rinsing with warm water.

Pitta Dosha: Pitta-dominant skin tends to be sensitive, prone to redness, inflammation, and occasional breakouts. Excessive heat and stress can exacerbate Pitta imbalances, leading to increased oiliness and irritation.

Skincare Routine: Opt for cooling and soothing ingredients like cucumber, aloe vera, and sandalwood. Use gentle, non-abrasive cleansers and avoid harsh exfoliants that can aggravate inflammation.

Homemade Recipe: Make a calming face pack by mixing sandalwood powder with rose water and a pinch of turmeric. Apply it to clean skin, leave it on for 15 minutes, then rinse with cool water.

Kapha Dosha: Kapha-dominant skin tends to be oily, prone to congestion, and enlarged pores. Kapha imbalances can result in dullness, blackheads, and a lack of vitality.

Skincare Routine: Focus on purifying and detoxifying practices to balance excess oil and congestion. Use gentle, oil-balancing cleansers and lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizers.

Homemade Recipe: Create an invigorating scrub by mixing ground oats with yogurt and a pinch of turmeric. Gently massage it onto damp skin in circular motions, then rinse with lukewarm water.

General Ayurvedic Skincare Tips: In addition to dosha-specific practices, there are some general principles of Ayurvedic skincare that benefit all skin types:

Practice Abhyanga, or self-massage with warm oil, to promote relaxation and improve circulation.

Drink herbal teas like chamomile or tulsi to reduce internal inflammation and support overall well-being.

Maintain a balanced lifestyle with adequate sleep, regular exercise, and stress management to promote skin health from the inside out.

Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to skincare that emphasizes harmony between mind, body, and spirit. By understanding your dosha and incorporating simple, homemade remedies into your skincare routine, you can unlock the secrets to radiant and healthy skin naturally. Remember, consistency and mindfulness are key to achieving lasting results. So, embrace the wisdom of Ayurveda and let your inner glow shine through!

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need further guidance on your Ayurvedic skincare journey.

every damn time.

every single time the seasons change, my immune system just taps out. minneapolis went from 50 degrees to a full-blown snowstorm overnight, and now i’m suffering the consequences. that being said, my very loving partner jett made me a hot healing potion—a chaotic mix of pantry staples that tastes like fire, salt, and regret, but actually works.

🌿 believing in magic doesn’t mean ignoring science—this brew is loaded with real medicinal benefits AND magical properties to help kick this cold’s ass.

✨ THE POTION RECIPE✨

hot water

medicinal purposes: keeps me hydrated, helps break up mucus, soothes the throat, and warms my insides so i don’t feel like a haunted corpse.

magical purposes: water is the element of healing, intuition, and flow. the ultimate energy conductor, enhances the properties of all the ingredients, transforms and carries intention. in this case? flushing all the sickness out of my body.

flaky salt

medicinal: helps with hydration and electrolyte balance. also lightly antibacterial, so it’s pulling out the nasties.

magical: purification and protection. when you add salt, you’re literally warding off negative energy—whether that’s bad vibes or the absolute plague in my sinuses.

black pepper

medicinal: clears congestion, antibacterial improves circulation, warms the body and helps the body absorb nutrients more effectively, aka aids digestion (important when i have the appetite of a victorian orphan).

magical: wards off negativity, removing bad energy, increases strength, and adds fire energy to burn away sickness. basically, an immune system bouncer.

crushed red chili pepper

medicinal: packed with capsaicin, which fights inflammation, opens up sinuses, helps circulation, and boosts immunity. makes me sweat out whatever demon is possessing my lungs.

magical: increases energy, speed, and power. protecting, banishing. this is an amplifier—it cranks up whatever intention i set for this potion. in this case? get better, fast.

honey

medicinal: soothes a sore throat, is naturally antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and boosts the immune system. straight-up liquid gold when you feel like death.

magical: prosperity, attraction, love, and healing. also, sweetens your words and energy, which is important when all i’ve been doing is whining about being sick.

lemon

medicinal: full of vitamin C, breaks up mucus, supports the immune system, and helps flush out toxins.

magical: purification, clarity, solar energy, and renewal. symbolically cutting through the illness (aka negativity) and making room for healing.

✨ OPTIONAL SUBSTITUTIONS OR ADDITIONS ✨

if you wanna boost the potion, here’s what to add:

ginger

medicinal: antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, helps with nausea, and gives the immune system a HARD reboot.

magical: fire energy, strength, and courage. it’s the magical equivalent of slamming an espresso.

garlic

medicinal: nature’s antibiotic, fights infections, and strengthens the immune system. (this is the OG medicine cabinet ingredient. vampires be gone!)

magical: wards off evil, protection, and banishing. in this case? kicking my cold to the curb.

turmeric

medicinal: anti-inflammatory, helps with respiratory issues, and supports overall healing.

magical: protection, purification, and strength. burns away what no longer serves you—like, say, this cold.

cinnamon

medicinal: increases circulation, warms the body, helps with congestion, and is lightly antibacterial.

magical: fire energy, success, and power. also makes everything taste less aggressively medicinal.

bay leaf

medicinal: antimicrobial, helps clear up lungs, and can reduce fever symptoms.

magical: manifestation and protection. write your healing intention on the leaf before adding it to the tea. (bonus: it smells amazing.)

rosemary

medicinal: antiseptic, great for respiratory issues, and helps clear the mind (aka, fights that gross brain fog when you’re sick).

magical: healing, clarity, and protection. keeps illness at bay (pun intended).

chamomile

medicinal: anti-inflammatory, calming, and helps you sleep. when you’re sick, rest is the best spellwork.

magical: relaxation, peace, and dream magic. chamomile eases the body and spirit.

whiskey (with some caveats)

medicinal benefits: decongestant, opens up blood vessels, numbing agent, relaxer, helps sleep, mildly antibacterial

magical benefits: strength, resilience, lubricant for transformation magic, banishing, protection, courage, confidence, spirit/ancestor connection

don’t add it if: you’re dehydrated or running a fever, you’re taking medicine that interacts badly with alcohol, you need to be functional and alert, or you know yourself and you’ll pour in half the bottle instead of a splash

🔥 THE DIRTBAG WITCH’S HEALING CHANT 🔥

this brew is fire, this brew is light

burn the sick, set me right

lemon sharp, honey sweet

salt and spice, clear the heat

body strong, fever break

let me rest, let me wake

i drink. i heal. i rise.

or if you’re not into rhyming, say what you want, but add some intentionality behind it. spells can work for you, babes. try something like:

fire in my chest, salt in my veins, warmth in my bones. body, wake up. immune system, do your job. may this potion heal, cleanse, and restore. i release this sickness, i call in my strength. may it be so, and so it is.

🧪 HOW TO USE IT:

• hover over your cup like a cryptid and breathe in the steam. let the warmth wake up your lungs and shake the sick loose.

• mutter or whisper the incantation as if you’re sealing a deal with the universe. feel it sink into the potion.

• sip slow, let it burn, let it soothe. picture the ingredients doing their damn job.

• optional bonus: stir clockwise to welcome in healing, or counterclockwise to banish the plague from your body like a medieval exorcism.

‼️OF NOTE‼️

just because i’m drinking my ✨witchy brew✨ doesn’t mean i’m ignoring modern medicine. i’m still taking meds, hydrating, sleeping like an exhausted cryptid, and willing to go to a doctor if this gets worse

magic isn’t about rejecting science—it’s about working with it. this potion is full of actual medicinal benefits AND it’s infused with intent and energy. you can do both. you should do both.

most importantly if you’re sick right now—let yourself rest. the spell is working. the medicine is working. the body is doing its thing. you’ll be back to causing problems (on purpose) soon enough

anywho, posting this now, curling up under six blankets, and waiting for the magic to kick in. pray for me.

Natural herbs like echinacea, elderberry, and turmeric also support immune response without harsh chemicals.
