The spleen is the chief gland of the lymphatic system. Its chief work is the removal of waste matter from the blood and tissues aided by other glands, which go to make the lymphatic system.
The spleen is affected and enlarged as a result of toxic medicines used in fevers or other diseases. This results in the malfunctioning of the lymph system causing weakness of the tissues and their resistance power.
Its treatment involves rigorous treatment either in a Nature-cure home or under care of a Naturopath to go through the rigours of fasts and restricted dieting.
