People know about arteries and veins, but have you heard about the lymphatic system? That's a part of the circulation that helps the immune system to fight infection. When there's a problem with the lymphatics, there are downstream affects that can harm the body if not diagnosed or treated early. Louise Tanswell of Lymphacare Hawaii shares her expertise on the ways to diagnose and treat lymphedema, before it gets worse. 

  

Dr. Kathy Kozak is the host of The Body Show. Mondays at 6:30 p.m. on HPR-1.
