Swollen tonsils and lymph nodes during an infection are signs of increased activity — the immune system is acting to defend us against pathogens. Support your lymphatic system and thereby strengthen your immune system! Strengthen your lymphatic system Do you know how important your lymphatic system is? The lymphatic system is a defense and drainage system for the body. It filters out organisms that cause disease, produces white blood cells, and generates disease-fighting antibodies. It also drains excess fluids and debris so that tissues do not become congested or inflamed. It is a network of tubes, connected by lymph nodes. When you are ill, these lymph nodes become full of active immune cells and can swell to the point where you can feel them. If your lymphatic system is suffering, your immune system will suffer too!
