The predominant fluid in your body is lymphatic fluid. This fluid carries nutrients from the food you eat and oxygen from the air you breathe. It also carries toxic poisons, bacteria, cholesterol and viruses away from the cells in your body. Since there is no pump (like the heart for blood) to push this fluid through the body, it is only moved by deep breathing, stretching, vigorous exercise, gravitational force and massage. Manual lymph drainage improves the flow of lymphatic fluid by using light, rhythmic strokes.

Circulation massage therapy has been found to be the most efficient method of stimulating lymphatic circulation. The pulsating action of circulation massage therapy causes the millions of one-way valves that regulate the flow of fluid to open and close thus allowing a healthy surge of lymphatic fluid throughout the entire body. Manual lymph drainage is primarily used for conditions related to poor lymph flow, such as edema, inflammation, and neuropathies. Lymphatic Drainage Massage can be one of the most healthy massage benefits. Repeated circulation therapy thus creates a continuous flow of lymphatic fluid nourishing and cleansing your cells that literally flush your system of harmful wastes and poisons while increasing your resistance to sickness and disease.

If you have any stress, either mental or physical, you are going to have areas of restricted lymphatic flow.  Lymphatic fluid is vital to the life process, bathing all the cells, it acts as a medium of exchange; trading food for the cells for the waste products. This waste contains microorganisms, damaged cells, and protein molecules that are too large or too toxic to go directly into the blood stream through the capillary walls.  When the lymphatic system slows down, these waste products accumulate and stagnate which causes the heavy feeling in your limbs and the overall fatigue experienced in a sedentary life style.

The lymphatic system is a complicated network of vessels, ducts, and nodes that move fluid between the cells and tissues. It is the most underrated part of the circulatory system in the human body. And sadly, many health-care practitioners rarely consider the critical role lymph plays in preventing sickness and keeping us healthy.

Our lymphatic system is primarily responsible for carrying disease-fighting material to cells attacked by germs, transporting the dead germs away and supplying protein-rich plasma fluid back to the heart. When this system is blocked, we become defenseless against attacks by virus, fungi, and bacteria.

Unlike your venous system, your lymphatic system has no pumping mechanism to keep the fluid circulating through the body. Therefore, the lymphatic system is always at a higher risk for blockage. Blockages can occur from normal stressors such as:

• Illness
• Tight-fitting clothing including bras, ties, jockey shorts & pantyhose
• Lack of exercise
• Bumps, bruises, and other injuries
• Exposure to heavy metals, pesticides and herbicides
• Impaired circulation
• Food allergies or sensitivities
• Surgery
• Stress

did you know that...

• Your lymphatic system is actually a vital circulatory system with an extensive network of vessels throughout the body.
• Your body contains about 50% more lymphatic fluid than blood.
• Your lymphatic system contains over 600 collection sites called lymph nodes.
• These nodes are formed at the junction sites of the lymph vessel network.
• Your lymphatic system is responsible for supplying plasm-rich protein to your blood as well as carrying away toxins and other debris.
• Your lymphatic system is your primary defense against bacteria, viruses and fungus.
• Most chronic (disease) problems occur at the junction of lymph vessels called lymph nodes.
• In men the inguinal nodes, in the crease of the groin, are the primary channel for release of accumulated lymh from the prostrate.
• In women the axillary nodes, located in the arm pit, are the primary channel for releasing accumulated lymph from the breasts.
• Cellulite is primarily blocked lymphatic fluid.

an impaired or disfunctional lymphatic system can result in...

• Colds, Flu and Sinus Problems
• Edema & Excess Water Retention
• Heart Disease
• Fibrocystic & Tender Breast
• Cellutlite
• Enlarged Prostate
• Cancer
