Homeopathic Remedies for Lymph Nodes

What are Lymph Nodes?

Lymph nodes are a part of the complex lymphatic system in our bodies. Lymph nodes are responsible for the proper function of the immune system. This is why, when you are sick, you might feel swollen balls under your jaw. This is one of the first things that the doctor checks you for when you make an appointment with complaints of being ill.

Lymph nodes help the body by producing antibodies that go out and destroy germs such as bacterium and viruses. These germs are what cause infections and sickness. Lymph nodes are found in various places throughout the body, for example: under the jaw, behind the ears, back of the head, neck, chest, armpits, abdomen, groin and pelvis.

So, when they become enlarged this can be a sign of something severe. If a lymph node is swollen in the breast it can mean breast cancer, or it can merely be a problem easily fixed; this is only one comparison. There are so many diseases and infections in the world today that it is impossible, and unwise, to treat something that has not been formally recognized.

Some Homeopathic Remedies for Lymph Nodes

The first step that should be taken is a diagnosis. Eliminate the culprits before choosing a treatment option. If it is caused by an infection, herbal remedies can be used to clear it up. If it is something more serious such as cancer a different approach may be needed. A doctor can give you the results of tests and a full examination. After that you can decide on mainstream treatment options or an all natural approach such as homeopathic remedies for lymph nodes. If the lymph nodes are merely swollen and no other symptoms are present you can take the following to reduce inflammation and stimulate proper function.

• Bay Laurel essential oil can be rubbed on the affected area

• Consuming teas made from cleavers

• Calcarea Carbonica

• Phytolacca

• Calcarea carbonica

The swollen lymph nodes that a person can experience might be as a result of another illness or infection. It is important to get properly diagnosed. Other homeopathic remedies might be better suited to treat a more specific condition. By simply contacting a homeopathic professional, you can learn which remedy and which dose will successfully treat your problem.
