It is the sewer system of the body that helps to keep it clean from acids and waste. The lymphatic system consists of a collection of lymphatic vessels connected to lymph nodes which filter lymph fluid that gets collected throughout the body. Lymph nodes filter lymph via specialized white blood cells that destroy and remove microorganisms, malignant cells, damaged cells, and foreign particles. The lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes, along with the thymus, tonsils, and spleen, serve a vital function for the removal of interstitial fluid from tissue and development and maintenance of the immune response. Lymph fluid ultimately returns to the venous circulation. Lymph nodes are located all throughout the body, primarily located in six major spots throughout the body; above your collar bones, behind your jawline under your ears, in your armpit where your arm meets your torso, your stomach, groin area and behind your knees. These spots are referred to as “The Big Six”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eSince the lymphatic system cleans the body from acidosis and toxicity, it is also part of our immune system.
