Lymph Drainage

What is Lymph? The Lymphatic system is this brilliant cleansing system that runs everywhere within our body except where there is no blood circulation. There are a few exceptions to this latest revelation such as the cartilage tissue or most structures of the Central Nervous System to be a little more accurate. The Lymph Organs includes the Bone Marrow and Thymus as the Primary and Lymph nodes, Spleen & MALT (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue) as Secondary. The job of the Lymph system is to carry waist out of the body, regulate fluid volume and pressure in the tissues, as well as carrying healthy substance throughout our body. When the lymphatic system becomes sluggish or over burden with toxic elements from our environment such as food, medication or polluted air just to mention a few, our body slowly fail at its natural ability to heal and cleanse and eventually develops ailments. By using specific gentle manipulating technique, the Lymph system is flushed of the toxins causing harms within and therefore helping the body into its natural homeostasis state of balance giving it a chance to heal itself once again.

Lymph drainage is gentle but yet strongly effective in restoring balance within as well as increasing immunity function.

Love your body and allow the healthy loving flow within.
