What is Circulation?

The term circulation is most commonly associated with blood circulation in the body. Circulation is responsible for the action that moves nutrients, gases and wastes to and from cells, and helps stabilize body temperature and pH to maintain harmony. We cannot live without our blood circulating throughout our body. The heart acts as a pump, keeping our blood flowing to our lungs to get oxygenated, and then carrying it to our organs, then carrying de-oxygenated blood from our organs back to the lungs to get oxygenated again. When circulation is compromised, oxygen does not reach all of the organs and areas it needs to, and our system can falter.
