Lymphatic Drainage massage is a gentle, rhythmical treatment that stimulates the circulation of lymph fluid around the body. This helps to rapidly speed up the removal of waste & toxins from a sluggish lymphatic system providing a major boost to your immune system. By increasing the efficiency of your lymphatic & circulatory system, you reduce the volume of retained fluid rapidly moving out fluids & any toxic waste build up.

Reasons for poor lymph:

• Poor diet- increases congestion & produces more waste for the lymph to dispose of environmental and dietary pollutants.
• Lack of exercise- Lymphatic fluid needs muscle power to push it around the body
• Surgery & Trauma
• Pregnancy

Conditions helped by lymphatic drainage:

• Lymphedema
• Glandular Fever
• Tonsillitis

Benefits of lympatic drainage:

• Detoxification: After periods of high stress reducing the sluggishness bought on by high fat foods & too little exercise
• Headaches: Including sinusitis & congestion around the face. Once the tissue is decongested, blocked fluid & blood can flow more easily improving and reducing pain & discomfort.
• Promotes healing: After surgery or injury. Lymphatic drainage will help drain the tissue, reduce inflammation & improve healing.
• Pregnancy & After: There is often fluid retention in pregnant women & lymphatic drainage can improve comfort especially in legs & feet. Breast feeding will be enhanced by this treatment, especially when there are problems with blocked ducts & sore tight breasts.
• Reduce Swelling: After long periods of immobility, such as air travel or lessened mobility, fluid tends to stagnate in the tissue making it puffy & tender.
• Relaxation: Because it is such a gentle treatment, it is one of the most relaxing treatments and is enhanced as the cleansing & rejuvenating effects relieve stress.
• Skin Care: For a clearer complexion, reduces swelling & puffiness around eyes & helps with acne.
