anual lymphatic drainage has powerful cleansing, relaxing, pain relieving & immunological effects. In its manual form, it is a gentle, flowing, rhythmic massage. In any form, it can be applied to a wide range of pathologies, to great effect. Manual lymphatic drainage is used primarily to promote the optimal functioning of the lymphatic vessels that lead to the circulatory system. Manual lymphatic drainage techniques facilitate the removal of metabolic wastes, excess water, toxins, bacteria, large proteins molecules and foreign substances from tissue via the initial lymph vessels and the venous capillaries.
Manual lymphatic drainage relaxes the sympathetic nervous system, reduces pain, and enhances the activity of the immune system. It is effective in the treatment of a wide variety of problems including oedema, skin disorders, headache, sinus congestion, sprains and aches, stress, digestive disorders, and before and after surgery to remove tissue congestion and minimize scar formation. It is particularly useful as part of post mastectomy therapy, to reduce oedema and fibrosis and to relieve pain and tension.
Western culture’s diet of highly processed foods stress the lymphatic system with excess wastes and toxins. Coupled with this and not enough fluid intake, most of us have sluggish lymphatic systems. This causes more anaerobic metabolism to occur, with more waste products and less energy. A self-perpetuating cycle begins. For this reason, any patient can benefit from lymph drainage as part of a general detoxification program. It can improve energy, increase cellular oxygenation and nourishment as well as build immunity.
