Spleen Detox in Detail
The spleen, a filtering organ that is part of the Lymphatic System, located in the upper left side of the abdomen, has these important responsibilities:
RBC sequestration. As it filters the blood, it is removing old or damaged red blood cells to recycle the iron for the body.
Immune function. Having a monitoring effect of the very extensive lymphatic system, it is the site for production of antibody-producing lymphocytes and monocytes which remove bacteria from the blood.
The spleen and liver are partners. Any treatments that help the liver will also help the spleen.
