4. Aids in Lymphatic System Support
A network of tubes called the lymphatic system transports the clear fluid known as lymph. This system is crucial to immune system health as well as fluid movement throughout the body. Lymph can remove waste products and poisons; therefore, a blockage anywhere in the system is linked to ill health. It has long been believed that sleeping on the left side of the body facilitates waste removal by the lymphatic system. The thoracic duct allows lymph to drain to the left, so once again, this posture allows gravity to help a normal biological process.
