New research validating Cranial Sacral Theory. This is what I learned, and what I pass on and teach. Always found this more plausible than the metaphysical explanations and applications.
"Your brain makes a lot of waste, and scientists now think they know where it goes. Two research teams published insights about the brain's waste-removal system and the findings could help better understand, treat and perhaps prevent various brain disorders. Here are some of the takeaways:
🧠The papers, published in the journal Nature, suggest that during sleep, slow electrical waves push the fluid around cells from deep in the brain to its surface. There, the fluids make their way into the bloodstream, which takes them to the liver and kidneys to be removed from the body.
🧠One of the waste products carried away is amyloid, the substance that forms sticky plaques in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease.
🧠The new studies suggest that keeping the brain's waste-clearance system functioning requires two distinct steps: pushing waste into the fluid that surrounds the brain and moving it into the lymphatic system and eventually out of the body."
