Unveiling the Connection Between Healthy Breasts and Underarms

Beyond their reputation for body odor, armpits hold a crucial role in our overall health, especially when it comes to breast wellness. With a vast network of lymph nodes residing in this often-neglected area, our armpits serve as guardians, cleaning out toxins and waste that could potentially harm our breasts. In this article, we look at the relationship between armpits and breast health, highlighting the significance of incorporating armpit care into our daily breast care routines.

 

Armpits: Lymph Node Central

Your armpits are home to a cluster of lymph nodes, numbering around 20 to 30. Not all women have the same number of lymph nodes. As well, the locations of armpit lymph nodes varies per individual. Situated just beneath the surface of the skin, in the fatty tissue, these lymph nodes play a vital role in the body's immune system. They act as filters, capturing and processing cellular toxic waste products like viruses, bacteria, carbon dioxide, and even cancer cells that have been collected from breast tissue.

 

Lymphatic Drainage: A Crucial Process

The lymph nodes in your armpits are responsible for filtering an astounding amount of waste, accounting for up to 90% of toxins that originate from your breasts. As lymph fluid travels from deep within your breasts, eventually passing through these nodes, they perform their duty of cleaning and neutralizing harmful substances such as carbon dioxide, infection, bacteria, cancer cells and unwanted cellular debris.

 

Back into Circulation

Once the lymph fluid has been effectively filtered in the armpit lymph nodes, it re-enters the bloodstream. This process allows the body to maintain a delicate balance and facilitates fluid balance and the elimination of waste, keeping our breasts and overall health in check.

 

Armpit Skin: A Gateway for Absorption

A peer-to-peer study revealed that the skin in the underarm area is incredibly absorbent, with absorption rates reaching up to 100%. This means that whatever we apply to our armpit skin can be readily absorbed into our bodies. Understanding this opens up an opportunity for promoting breast health by choosing carefully what we expose our armpits to.

 

The Power of Healing Herbs

Throughout history, many ancient healing herbal wisdoms have been collected and used to encourage lymphatic health by encouraging lymphatic fluid and blood flow, enhance the immune system, and aid in detoxification processes. Incorporating these herbs into your armpit care routine can offer an effective holistic approach to supporting, encouraging, and maintaining overall breast health.
