The Brain's Natural Waste-Clearance System

The brain has its own specialised waste-clearance network known as the glymphatic system, which helps remove metabolic by-products and other substances from the brain. In this video, Dr. Marco Ruggiero discusses the connection between the glymphatic system, deep cervical lymph nodes, and sleep, exploring why these pathways may play an important role in supporting overall brain health.

Dr. Ruggiero also explains the thinking behind a simple neck massage technique using Bravo MAF Cream and why he recommends performing it before bedtime, when the brain's natural waste-clearance processes are thought to be most active.

Watch the video below to learn more about the glymphatic system, lymphatic drainage, and the relationship between sleep and brain health.
