The importance of lymph nodes and the lymphatic system in our body is often overshadowed by our obsession with other systems that include our heart, gut, and brain. But what you may not know is that without the lymphatic system, we would soon collapse into a puddle of sickness and not find a way out of it. That's because this intricate system of 600 lymph nodes and the network of lymph vessels are responsible for carrying white blood cells along with plasma from our blood to all the tissues of our body. That's why when we contract an infection in the body, the first sign of it is usually a fever, followed by a swollen lymph node in the area of infection that is hot and painful to touch. This is called lymphadenitis in the medical universe. And most of the time, simple antibiotics (prescribed by a doctor) are enough to cure them along with the original infection. But with the rise of antibiotic resistance around the world, people these days are moving away from these allopathic cures and are increasingly opting for natural remedies that do not have as many side-effects. So if you believe the same - that home/herbal remedies are often better than antibiotics - then read on because in this article I am going to reveal how you can treat swollen lymph nodes in the neck naturally.
