Love is in the air – love yourself by taking time out
Self care is so important. Our bodies needs rebooting from time to time. Lymph drainage is a natural treatment and helps with many health issues.
Lymph System
The lymphatic system is the cleansing competent of our bodies and plays a vital role in transporting nutrients, hormones, protein, long chain fatty acids while moving metabolic waste from the body. It is also part of our immune system.
The lymphatic system does not have it’s own pump and so our bodies are designed to help it to work. There are five ways in which this happens:
- Muscle Contraction
- Arterial Pulsation
- Healthy Gut Movement
- Gravity
- Deep Breathing
So its important to be active, have a healthy bowel pattern, not to sit or stand for too long and to practice deep breathing several times during the day.
However, from time to time our lymphatic system can become sluggish and this can result in fluid retention, fatigue, skin issues, bloating, digestive issues, sinusitis and inflammation to name a few. This is where lymphatic or lymph drainage can play a role.
Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic drainage or Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD), to give it it’s proper title, is a gentle skin technique used to activate the natural occurring lymphatic system in the body. It is used to treat issues like fluid retention, lymphoedema, lipoedema, inflammation, gut or digestive issues, stress, anxiety, acne, sinusitis, pain, post op recovery, wound healing, leg ulcers, PMT, while supporting general health and wellbeing.
