Hey friends, Dr. Motley here with the Ancient Health Podcast.

And let's talk about the spleen. The spleen is a major lymph organ.

And it has many functions. It is a small organ that sits right beside your stomach.

They're basically neighbors. And it helps you with many functions,

such as digestion, immune building, filtering out your lymph nodes,

also with a production of platelets to help you wound repair.

It's a big wound repair organ. It is classified with other lymph tissue,

just like the appendix, and the thymus gland.

And its function determines the health of the whole body.

Because the organs mimic the characteristics of the environment,

of the earth, as we shift seasons.
