Supports the lymphatic and glymphatic systems and the immune system

One of the benefits of Legs Up the Wall pose is that it supports the lymphatic and glymphatic systems and the immune system (it promotes fresh, oxygenated blood to circulate to the upper extremities). Inversions like headstands and shoulderstands are known to deliver fresh blood flow and oxygen to the brain and upper body. The lymphatic system filters and breaks down bacteria and other potentially hazardous cells, but the nodes that do the majority of the filtering are located in the neck, armpits, stomach, and groin, which is why inverted positions like these are so critical for transporting fluid there. Because the lymphatic system lacks a 'pump,' like the circulatory system of blood, it relies on gravity and movement to help it function.

The capacity to stimulate the glymphatic system is another essential but little-known effect of lifting the legs while resting. This system is in charge of effectively'sweeping away' the bacteria that have been filtered by the lymphatic system, therefore it is a crucial second step in ridding the body of infections. What's the secret to having everything operate even better? Relax. When the body is calm, both of these systems perform significantly better.
