Wellness & Relaxation
Description
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a technique to stimulate the natural removal of waste, toxins and excess fluid from the body. The primary role of the lymphatic system is to maintain fluid balance (lymph & water), support immune defense and transport cellular waste from the tissues towards lymph nodes and cleaned lymph fluid towards the heart. With a gentle, rhythmic stretching and pulling of the skin, pressure is increased towards the natural direction of lymph flow. The parasympathetic nervous system is actived, allieviating stress by slowing the heart rate and allowing the mind & body to relax. All treatments begin with stimulation to the lymph vessels and nodes along the sides of the neck and top of the shoulders, this clears the large lymphatic pathways and prepares them for increased lymphatic flow. Suitable for but not limited to: Relaxation, stress, anxiety, insomnia, tired/puffy eyes, swollen lymph nodes, simple swelling, inflammation, TMJ, headaches/migraines, acne, rosacea, skin conditions, sinusitis/allergies (not in flare up), raynauds, tired/restless legs, jet lag, poor circulation, pain management, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, MS, PCOS, endometriosis, ankylosing spondylitis *This treatment is for the purpose of relaxation, wellness and to reduce inflammation and swelling from causes other than: lymphedema, lipodema. cancer, or lymph node removal*
