Lymphatic Massage
The lymphatic fluid that moves through our body, important as it is, does not have a "pump" the way our blood does. Under conditions of normal activity, the fluid is stimulated to movement through our body by movement of our muscles.
However, some conditions such as reduced activity, excess exposure to inner or outer toxins, illness, surgery, or simple overindulgence can seriously reduce the efficiency of our lymphatic flow. Lymphadema, seen as swelling in legs and arms most frequently, can be helped by lymphatic massage, thus reducing swelling, and not infrequently eliminating the need for diuretics.
Medical research has shown that massage in the direction of lymphatic flow, with very slow movement and moderate to light pressure, will stimulate the contraction of the lymphatic ducts, open the nodes and channels and stimulate the immune system. In addition, the slow movement of the lymphatic massage creates a deeply relaxing experience for the client.
