Ways to Support Your Lymphatic System
Do you know the importance your lymphatic system plays on your health?

To be a little 'medical', the lymphatic system is integral to maintaining the body's immune response, fluid balance, and overall health. It is an interconnected network of vessels, nodes, and organs that ensures a coordinated and effective defense against infections and supports various physiological processes.

I know it sounds overwhelming, but basically it helps your body process fluid, protect your immune system, balance your hormones and can even have an impact on joint health. It’s safe to say it’s pretty important!

To support my lymphatic system I love massaging my body with a blend from Young Living.

The oils in the Cel-Lite Magic blend (from Young Living that I love!) are seriously amazing at supporting your lymphatic system and your body! You can also add more cypress to this for some extra “ooomph.”

✨Grapefruit essential oil has a fresh, uplifting aroma and provides cleansing properties.

✨Cypress essential oil has a clean, evergreen aroma that can be used aromatically to create an ambience of security and grounding. Applied topically, it has benefits for skin, hair, and scalp.

✨Juniper essential oil beautifies and tones the skin when applied topically, making it a great addition to lymphatic and post-workout massage oil blends.

✨Cedarwood essential oil has a calming and soothing aroma, and it promotes the appearance of healthy skin, hair, and scalp when applied topically.

How do I recommend using this blend? Glad you asked! Apply Cel-Lite Magic following a shower, bath, or dry-brushing to replenish dry skin for a youthful glow (I’m all about dry brushing and I talk more about it here!). Use it as part of a pampering massage to soothe fatigued muscles, everyday aches, and general discomfort too!

I am a bold, beautiful, sometimes timid, usually happy, essential oil, nutrition junkie. Although at 39 I feel as if I've had several careers over a lifetime (or at least sometimes when I look back at my resume that is what shines through). I've been a paralegal, an office manager, an administrative assistant, worked in commercial lending and have finally landed on nutrition.

My journey to nutrition started many years ago when my sister was diagnosed with celiac disease and food had to change for the family. From there, along my own health journey I’ve helped people not only figure out what to eat but how to do it so that it can work for them sustainably. For almost seven years I’ve been counseling people on their nutrition and weight loss journeys.

I am knowledgeable about what purpose food serves your body and I focus on finding sustainable options when it comes to food; this also led to my love of essential oils. I had the opportunity to attend a workshop where a registered dietitian spoke about using essential oils in her practice to help her patients. I was floored. I knew that #plantsheal but I didn't realize that others in the 'conventional' medical community thought that as well!! Learning that it was possible to incorporate these magical little bottles gave me a huge sense of hope.

As I learned more about these oils I was diagnosed with increased intestinal permeability or as many of us know it, leaky gut. Leaky gut has been around for quite awhile but many of us are just learning what this is or why this is even more common these days than ever before. Many issues can be related to leaky gut including autoimmune diseases. Receiving this diagnosis just led me down a path further to learn about nutrition and how to best serve my body and take care of myself.

Since birthing our sweet baby boy at home earlier this year I’ve been incredibly passionate about helping other women too who are pregnant and new mothers with their nutrition. Eating healthy for your pregnant body and your postpartum self is a game changer for both mother and baby.
