Lymphatic circulation-2
Any stagnant water is unhealthy and so imagine cells surrounded by stagnant fluids around them. A city in a country can be clean only if surroundings of
each house is kept clean. This means there should be and efficient and regular means of garbage disposal system in operation.
Similarly a body can be clean and healthy only if the fluid surrounding each cell are kept clean by regular garbage disposal system. If cells dump waste every second but if the waste are not cleared , your interstitial fluid will look like the pictures shown on the right.
The lymphatic system helps maintain fluid balance in the tissues. It also helps in clearance of proteins and large particles which are too large to be absorbed into the blood capillaries, but can be carried through the lymphatics. Removal of proteins from the intercellular spaces is so important, that if were not done, we would die within about twenty-four hours.
Lymphatic fluid is derived from intercellular fluid that flows into the lymphatics. About two-thirds of lymph is normally derived from the liver and intestines. Small lymph capillaries originate in the tissue and carry fluid away from the tissues. These lymph capillaries, which are in almost all tissues of the body, except the bones, superficial skin, deeper portion of peripheral nerves, the central nervous system, endomysium of muscles. But even these are able to drain through minute prelymphatic channels, whose fluid then flows into the lymphatic vessels. The brain is unique in that the prelymphatic channels drain into the cerebrospinal fluid and from there directly into the venous system.

If the lymphatic system becomes congested, blocked, damaged or severed, fluids can build up in the connective tissue leading to edema. After a time, cell pathology may begin. If there is damage in the connective tissue due to burns, chronic inflammation, ulceration, or other factors, the lymph system transports damaged cells, inflammatory products and toxins away from the area. The more quickly this can happen, the faster recovery will be.
The liver is very permeable to fluids and these flow freely into the liver’s lymphatic system. The liver is an expanding and contracting reservoir of blood, lymph and bile. If circulation is weak, these fluids will have a tendency to congest the liver.

Lymphatic circulation
The lymphatic system is vital to our health and very life. Part of our immune system, it provides defense against disease-causing organisms. When the lymphatic system becomes sluggish our tissues become congested, organ function is impaired and our health suffers. ( Lymphatic System - Suzanne E. Sky).
What is the lymphatic system?
Each and every cell of our body is surrounded by a fluid called interstitial fluid. At the cellular level, the lymphatic system is a pathway through which fluid flows from the intercellular spaces into the blood.
The interstitial fluid surrounding the cells drain into a small tube like structure (shown in green in the picture). 
Like a drainage system from each house collect into bigger drainage pipes, the fluid from small tubes drain into bigger collecting tubes or lymph capillaries.
Lymph capillaries turn into lymph vessels which pass through lymph nodes, empty into the lymphatic ducts and then into the venous system. The venous system carries the impure blood to the heart. The pure blood is given in red and the impure venous blood in blue and the lymph in green.
The lymphatic system includes lymph, lymphocytes, lymph vessels, lymph nodules, lymph nodes, tonsils, spleen and thymus gland. Part of the body’s defense system, the lymph nodes filter lymph and the spleen filters blood, removing microorganisms and other foreign substances. The lymph nodes act as a filtration system that keeps particulate matter such as bacteria from entering the bloodstream. They produce both lymphocytes and monocytes. Lymph tissue contains lymphocytes and other cells that can destroy microorganisms and foreign substances. The cells have obtain oxygen and nutrients for its survival and also throws the waste products into this river of water. These waste products if not removed becomes toxic for the cell.

Fire Therapy
Fire the third Element of nature
Heat or fire is the third element of nature and also of our body. Immediately after the body stops breathing (in death) the next element that leaves our body is heat. Heat or the temperature that keeps the body physiologically active, drives all biochemical reactions. In the later topics in this section, we will discuss how heat brings about healing in the body. Now let us discuss how the fire element can help us in the purification of mind and body.
Fire or heat for detoxification of mind and body
In the Water and Earth section we talked about detoxifying the body and mind. However, for the toxins to move out, this heat element is essential. Heat is what propels physical movement within the body. In a heated area, blood flow increases. Irritation is also a form of heat. Whenever there is increased blood flow, there is an increased supply of nutrients and more removal of waste and toxins. All movements in the body accelerate blood flow. So this is a continuous process.
Lymphatic Circulation and Immunity
Modern medicine gives importance to the heart and blood circulation. But ancient therapies like Ayurveda and Pancha Bhoota Healing give equal or more importance to Lymphatic circulation. This is because lymphatic circulation is a part and parcel of the immune system. Without good lymphatic circulation there cannot be good immunity.
It is a general notion of the public that good immunity is connected only to eating good, nutritious food. This, though important, is not the only factor which contributes to good immunity. Having a healthy lymphatic circulation is the key to a strong immune system.
Fire element works at various level

It promotes healthy lymphatic circulation and thereby provides sound immunity. Fire element also brings about a connection of the body and mind which we will see in detail in the fire section. In Vedic Tradition blood is associated with the sun and lymph with the moon. There is great wisdom in this observation which shows geometrical connection. The mind and breath are connected (see Air section), and so are the breath and lymph circulation. Thus mind and lymph are indirectly connected through breath.

Air Therapy
In our school days we would have done a simple Bell jar experiment proving the truth that a candle will burn only in the presence of oxygen produced from a plant.
1. The simple scientific truth is that for anything to burn requires oxygen (1).
2. When a burning candle is covered with a bell jar, the candle flame goes out without oxygen.
3. When a plant is kept inside the bell jar, the candle flame continues to burn because oxygen is supplied by the plant.
Oxygen is required for the fat in the candle to burn and give out light energy. This is true in our body too. The food we eat is digested and converted to mainly sugar (glucose) and fatty acids. The glucose and fatty acids are burned inside the cells in the presence of oxygen. When oxygen is absent our cells cannot burn the fat and sugar to produce energy.
We may eat well and give more than enough fat and sugar to the body, but if we do not give oxygen the body cannot burn them to produce energy. This is why we always are tired though we eat well because we do not breath in enough oxygen.
Throughout the day we are not aware of our breath and so we do not breath enough. So thirty trillion cells in our body are suffocated without oxygen. Especially when brain gets less oxygen then we feel tired.
Only in sleep we all breath fully and so when the body cells get oxygen, our body gets refreshed. Observe any one sleeping, they will be breathing in and out air very well. When we are sick we become better by taking rest because we breath and supply more oxygen and immediately the body organs can correct themselves. This is the secret of taking rest and healing by the body. So oxygen is called prana, the vital aspect for life.
Good breathing
When we are emotional or tensed, or anxious, and do things in a hurry and not aware of our body we breath less and we became tired quickly. When we work in a computer or any sedantary work we breath less. Olden days people did so many manual work and so breathing was natural. Today everyone do time bound sedantary work and breath less and so get so many diseases. When are in deep water you gasp for breath. Understand this is how your cells are all gasping for breath when you are stressed out. Observe how many times you have stopped breathing normally and how much breath awareness you have lost throughout the day. Understand that many hours you have suffocated your cells without oxygen and energy production.
Everyday when we make our cells suffocated without oxygen we cause so many diseases, especially like cancer. This is why great Rishi's developed the great technology of Pranayama. When correctly done hundreds of diseases are cured without even taking any medicines.
Name any diseases like cancer, diabetes, hypertension, infertility, depression, etc etc can be cured by doing prayanama alone. See for how pranayama kills cancer cells (Click here))much more powerful than any medicines.
Do along with the five pancha Bhoota to get quick and complete cure.
Suggested VCD for Pranayama:
Since in Sakthifoundation we dont have a VCD for showing the correct way of doing pranayama, we highly recommend following Swami Ramdev's pranayama. Please get those VCD's (Click here)and reap the high benefits of Pranayama. Pranayama will give immeidate results along with other elements of Paranayama. Just taking care of diet alone will not help. All the five elements have to be done.
