Our lymphatic system contains vessels and nodes with lymph, a mixture of proteins, water, waste products, and immune system elements. Located throughout the body, our lymph nodes filter all this metabolic wastes, excess water, toxins, bacteria, large protein molecules and foreign substances from the tissue and make sure the “clean” lymph is transported back to the veins that carry blood toward the heart.
