Morning + Night routines for lymphatic drainage support

🌞 Morning Routine

1. Tongue Scraping
Start your day by scraping your tongue. This removes overnight buildup and signals your digestive + detox systems to wake up.

2. Room temp Water with Lemon
Hydration first thing helps “flush” your system and supports lymph movement. Adding lemon boosts digestion and alkalinity.

3. Dry Brushing Before Shower (either in am or pm)
2–3 minutes of light strokes toward your heart stimulates lymph flow, exfoliates, and energizes your skin.

4. Movement to Wake the Body
A walk, light yoga, or a few minutes of stretching is enough to get muscles pumping lymph. Your lymph doesn’t move on its own, it moves when you do.

5. Breathwork Reset
Even 3–5 deep belly breaths help your diaphragm act as a natural lymph pump, oxygenating your body and calming stress hormones.

🌙 Night Routine for Lymphatic Reset

1. Legs Up the Wall
5–10 minutes with your legs elevated helps drain fluid from the lower body, reducing swelling and calming the nervous system.

2. Gentle Self-Massage or Gua Sha
Use light strokes on your face or abdomen, always working toward lymph nodes. Keep it relaxing, not forceful.

3. No blue lights
Red bulb or red light next to bed, night shift lightning on instead of blue light on electronics.

4. Herbal Tea Hydration
Swap late-night alcohol or soda for an herbal tea (like chamomile, ginger, or dandelion root). It supports digestion + gentle detox while winding you down.

5. Prioritize Deep Sleep
Your lymphatic system (the brain’s lymphatic system) is most active during deep sleep, clearing toxins and resetting your nervous system. Aim for 7–9 hours, device-free before bed.
