I think what might be of help is the deep breathing technique described in one of Tony Robbins' books. It is meant to cleanse the body by activating the lymphatic system. He recommends doing 10 breaths at least 3 times per day, in the morning, afternoon and then evening. The technique is as follows:
Inhale(from the abdomen): 1
Hold for: 4
Exhale: 2
(The numbers are just ratios: for example, if you inhale for 6 counts, then you should hold for 24 counts, then exhale for 12 counts.)
Hope you get better soon
