Quick one for you all, and I want to hear your thinking before I drop the full picture. If you’ve spent any time with lymphatic herbs, you’ve noticed cleavers, calendula, and echinacea keep appearing. Then you find them again in the immune category. Most explanations just say “it gets things moving,” which is a description with zero context. So, here’s my question: do you think these are two separate mechanisms that happen to live in the same plants, or do you think lymphatic actions and immune actions aren’t actually that separate to begin with?

Hello, thank you for accepting me into the group. I am an osteopath, acupuncturist and herbalist. I have several special interests within herbalism: musculoskeletal injury and rheumatology, neurology, mood disturbances, medicinal plants of the Mediterranean and Near East regions, Chinese herbalism. I am here to gain new insights and perhaps offer a few of my own.
