Re: Unexplained Lump (Bane of my Existence)
Dear Lee,
Surgery always injures lymph vessels, blood vessels and possibly meridians. There are numerous lymph nodes around the ears. By cutting off or injuring a local lymph vessel network that drains metabolic wastes and dead cells from that given area of tissue, there can be an accumuation of these wastes in any of these attached lymph nodes. Since the outlet for these wastes is cut off from the larger lymphatic vessels, the waste products and dead cells mingle with the rest of the tissue and form a lump. These lumps can occur without surgery, and many people have them. They all result from lymph congestion.
There are a number of things one can do. Liver flushing improves lymphatic functions and blood circulation to and from congested areas. Gently massaging the area with expeller-pressed sesame oil i nthe morning can reduce it over time. Swishing expeller pressed sunflower or sesame oil in the mouth for 3-4 minutes in the morning before brushing the teeth (then spitting it in the toilet)can be helpful, too. Ear candling works on clearing lymphatic congestion in the head and chest areas. Also, placing bentonite clay like Pascalite or green magnetic clay over the lump area can help draw out wastes. Frequently holding the palm of your hand over the lump with the intention to break it up is also a good idea. Most importantly, changing your attitude toward the lump is most important. It is not there by accident. It is part of your inner healing you have been going through. As you increasingly love all parts of yourself, including the lump, you may one morning wake up and no longer find it there.
Blessings,
Andreas
