The lymphatic system supports your immune system by filtering out toxins, pathogens, and infected cells and destroying what can be harmful to the body.  That’s a really quick and easy description.  Lymph nodes can become swollen due to fungal, viral, or bacterial overload; some medications; some types of cancer; or injury.  For more detailed information, see https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/21199-lymphatic-system

When nodes in the armpit, neck, or behind the ears are swollen due to fungal, viral, or bacterial overload, there is something I’ve used with success:

Place the oils listed in a clean and sanitized dark blue or amber 10 ml. roller-ball applicator (to avoid the possibility of low-grade oils that might be diluted or contain toxins always use CPTG*, Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade, not just Therapeutic Grade or lower quality oils):

• 4 drops frankincense essential oil
• 4 drops peppermint essential oil
• 4 drops tea tree essential oil
• 4 drops lemon essential oil
• 2 drops oregano essential oil
• 2 drops grapefruit essential oil
• And top off with coconut oil or a good quality carrier oil of your choice

Label the bottle with its specific use and date it. Shake the bottle for a couple of minutes and again before each use.  Apply one coat evenly over the affected area three times a day for two weeks.  Allow the oil to naturally absorb into the skin.
