Its function is to manage the fluid levels in the body by draining fluid (lymph) that has leaked from the blood vessels into the tissues and emptying it back into the bloodstream via the lymph nodes. The lymphatic system also protects the body from illness-causing invaders. The lymph fluid carries the waste products and destroyed bacteria back into the bloodstream where it is removed from the blood by the liver or kidneys. The waste products are then passed out with other body waste through bowel movements or urine. If there is a blockage in the lymphatic system that prevents lymph fluid from draining well, the fluid buildup leads to swelling (lymphedema) of the tissues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePremium 10-Ingredient Phytotherapeutic Formula\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLymph Advance is a phytotherapeutic supplement (use of plants\/plant products for medicinal purposes) combining ten powerful herbs for comprehensive lymphatic and detoxification support.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHoly Thistle (Blessed Thistle):\u003c\/strong\u003e Has anti-inflammatory properties and helps treat bacterial infections and prevent inflammation.
