One doctor felt a faint carotid pulse, another felt a femoral pulse. The blood began to flow on its own. Outside, the ambulance had pulled up. "As soon as his limb came through the door, we got a heartbeat," Miller says...

Arteries and veins starved for blood for so long went into spasms as new liquid began to flow. Antispasmodics were administered, and team members massaged...

Exercise in general activates the flow of lymph through the body, speeding up the filtering process; but yoga in particular promotes the draining of the lymph. Certain yoga poses stretch muscles that from animal studies are known to stimulate the lymph system. Researchers have documented the increased lymph flow when dogs' paws are stretched in a position...
