Lymph tends to quickly become saturated with waste products, especially if you're sedentary. Chestnut bud therefore becomes a precious ally in restoring good fluid circulation in all seasons, but especially in summer!

What is lymph

Lymph is a liquid that circulates in the body through its own network. It carries white blood cells and waste products, then discharges them into the venous circulation for elimination. Along the way are lymph glands, which swell when there's an infection.

Unlike the blood system, which is pumped by the heart, lymphatic vessels have no propulsion system. It's the movement of the body, and in particular walking with the stimulation of the arch of the foot, coupled with blood circulation, that enable lymph to move.
