Lymphatic
drainage is a therapy that uses use a range of specialized
and gentle rhythmic pumping techniques to move the skin in
the direction of the lymph flow. This stimulates the lymphatic
vessels that carry substances vital to the defense of the
body, and removes waste products.
Lymph drainage is used to treat a wide range of conditions
such as:
- Toxic
build-up, oedema and fluid retention (puffy ankles, legs,
eyes, bloating).
- Cellulite
and excess weight.
-
Constipation and other digestive disorders.
-
Glandular fever, ME (Chronic Fatigue), Migraine, Sinus,
Hay fever
-
Acne, Rosacea and other skin conditions, Scar tissue (old
and new)
-
Stress, Anxiety, Tension.
-
Recurring infections (colds, flu, ear, chest).
-
Pre and post operative cases (cosmetic surgery, cancer or
where lymph nodes have been removed or the lymphatic system
impaired in some way).
The
benefits of Lymphatic drainage are considerable
and are particularly relevant in today’s environment
where pollution, stress and deficient immune systems make
many people susceptible to contagious disease and viral infections.
The
lymphatic system plays a vital role in the body by regulating
the immune system. When the lymphatic system becomes blocked,
lymphatic fluid builds up and stagnates causing the entire
system to become toxic.
Lymphatic Drainage clears blockages, eliminates metabolic
wastes and toxins from the body, transports nutrients to cells
and increases metabolic efficiency, all adding to the reduction
of excess fluid and assisting weight reduction. It also has
a calming effect on the nervous system and helps relieve stress
and tension.
Lymphatic
Drainage is also a very successful beauty treatment for the
face, improving the appearance of the skin and reducing puffiness.
It helps rejuvenate collagen fibers and slow the aging process.
