Home remedy to treat swollen lymph nodes

I have swollen glands near the neck. I got the needle test done and found out it is just swollen lymph nodes. Can you please offer any home remedies to reduce the swelling of these glands.

There are two main reasons why your lymph glands may be swollen --your body is responding naturally to a stressor, and/or your body is unable to eliminate properly. Rule out the fact you do not have chronic sinusitus, tonsilitis, dental infection, or other immune stimulating conditions. If you have any of these conditions, the proper treatments would be immune supportive therapies. To help eliminination, you may use contrast hydrotherapy (3 min. hot/3 min. cold x3) around your neck area to improve circulation. You may also perform some simple massage and head/neck movements.http://www.countrydoc.com
