Thymus Tapping
Our immune system protects our body from disease , so it’s important to build a strong immune system.
Behind your sternum, or breastbone, sits the thymus gland, your immune system’s surveillance gland.
It is part of the lymphatic immune system and one of the functions of the thymus is to process and mature T cells ( also known as killer cells) , the immune system’s “soldiers”. Thumping, or tapping, your thymus gland stimulates your immune system, giving it a boost.
Use thymus tapping to keep the gland active and boost your immune system.
- Stimulate energy
- Boost your immune system
- Increase your strength and vitality
Gently tapping on the thymus gland creates vibrations that stimulate an increase in the maturation and release of white blood cells.
Here’s how you do it:
Using your fingertips or side of your fist, tap up and down about 2-3 inches along your sternum, between and above your breasts.
The thymus is located behind the third rib, but any vibrations along the length of the upper sternum will stimulate it.
Do this for 15-20 seconds and continue to take regular slow breaths.
Do 1-3 times a day or up to 4 during times of acute illness. It can be all you need to ward off a cold or illness as the thymus is stimulated to release all those infection fighting white blood cells.
