Do not wait a long time - your body is trying to get rid of the toxins and the lymph is stuck. This means the toxins cannot flow with thelymph into the blood and be cleared out from there, but the nutrients also cannot find there way to the cells.

The KMT22 works wonders for this.

As a starter, just gently massage the areas in that are bumping up - very very gently.
The lymph channels are right below the skin - so no hard pressure or massage type action.

check with your doctor about interaction of effects of these and OTC, and/or prescriptive stuff.

Do an internet search to see how.
