My focus has always been to improve redox (the engine) and be skeptical of those who preach endless detoxing.
With that said, the lymph system is a part of the circulatory system and responsible for shuttling resources around the body. It's best for your short term performance and long term health to have it properly functioning.
60-90 minute Full Body Epsom Salt hot bath 1-2x/week. Hot baths will relax the nervous system and help muscles calm down. I like doing this bath in evening. Take a walk afterwards and then go to bed.
Avoid Steam rooms. Steam burns mucous membranes.
Sauna's are okay if traditional but get out every 3-4 minutes to rinse off toxins so they don't get reabsorbed.
Use Jacuzzi seldomly. A lot of nnEMF.
Lymphatic Hops from the Morning Primer
Touch the skin so lightly that it almost tickles, causing great neuro-stimulation between the brain and whole body that stimulates and relaxes all circulatory systems.
LYMPHATIC CONGESTION is caused by toxicity accumulated in the lymphatic system, especially glands and nodes. The lymph system feeds every cell in the body except red and white blood cells. Additionally, the lymphatic system is responsible for neutralizing toxins, reducing toxins to smaller substances and eliminating them through tear ducts, ears (wax), mucous membranes, bowels, vagina, urinary tract and especially skin. Reversing lymphatic congestion takes time.
Symptoms: muscle and/or bone soreness, skin problems including psoriasis and eczema, chronic fatigue and chemical sensitivity.
From laboratory analysis, I observed that much lymphatic congestion results from chemicals such as medications, preservatives, pesticides and herbicides, in combination with hydrogenated oils such as margarine, soy, flavoring additives, safflower oils, and peanut butter. Those oils and combinations harden over time (5 – 20 years) and are not fluid at body temperature.

To put it simply, the human body stores toxins in the fat. This is why you can get away with eating muscle cuts of "unhealthy" animals because those cuts are very lean and don't have the toxins.
This fat that stores all your toxins over your lifetime hardens and can only get detoxed over a certain temperature so it melts out. Nothing else will do it.
Another really restorative aspect of baths are that water acts as a natural faraday cage meaning it blocks all nnEMF. This gives your mitochondria a respite from the constant barrage of radiation we get at all times of the days otherwise.
A big part of recovery is removing the waste products from the lymphatic system and that can be done with hot baths after performances. If using municipal water, he gives the ingredients to add to the bath before getting in. 2 tablespoons raw apple cider vinegar, 1 cup raw milk or 2 tablespoons raw fresh coconut cream, and 2 tablespoons sea salt.
Optimal temperature: 102-105 Fareneheit or 38-41 Celsius
Avoid anything above 110 F. It damages the skin.
You can have a bucket of ice and cold water to put on your head and hands to help you stay in the bath.
It's good to drink a little mixture of raw milk, raw cream/coconut cream, butter, and honey before getting in so your body has some raw fats to get all the toxins that liquify out with.
After the bath, the bather will be weak. The bather should move slowly from the bath, and sit to dry. Bundle in very warm natural clothing and take a 30 – 45minute easy walk.
The hot bath routine above works by instigating the healing cycle that relaxes bacteria, putting them in hibernation, and discouraging cells from producing virus. Those are the same effects produced by fever. Fever is an important and beneficial feat of the body.
Fever ends microbe and viral proliferation and initiates intense healing (cellular division/reproduction). Usually, fever is accompanied by necessary lethargy that transforms into tiredness. Rest, relaxation and sleep are important because most healing occurs during those states.

Touch the skin so lightly that it almost tickles, causing great neuro-stimulation between the brain and whole body that stimulates and relaxes all circulatory systems. Great to have a significant other do this.
Note - If you are very thin then you don't need to do these longer baths, You can stick to the shorter epsom salt baths.
Side note for women: bras are especially damaging to the integrity and structure of your breasts, including the lymphatic system.
