Botanicals for the Circulatory System The body actually has two circulatory systems. There is the familiar one consisting of a heart that pumps blood through arteries and veins, and then there is the one you don’t hear about so often: the lymphatic system. The channels of the lymphatic system run parallel to our veins and arteries but they have no central pump.  Instead the lymph fluid is moved along by the contraction of skeletal muscles when we are active. So it makes sense that a lack of activity will effect the three main objectives of the lymphatic system: patrolling the body with cells of the immune system, assisting with detoxification as it shuttles fat to the liver, and reclaiming interstitial fluid. The following products contain herbs that have an effect on the circulatory systems.   Raspberry & Nettle Leaf Tea Vein Support Tea Cardiac Formula Tincture Low Flow Tincture Nerve Balm Tincture Nerve Balm Salve Urban Stress Tincture Varicose Vein Tincture Varicose Vein Salve Aches & Pains Salve Black Cohosh Root Simple Cramp Bark Simple Hawthorne Leaf, Flower & Fruit Simple Valerian Root Simple Pau d’Arco Bark Simple
