lymph drainage information

Lymph Drainage Therapy is an alternative treatment using anatomical science and distinctive manual processes to detect the specific rhythm, direction, depth and quality of the lymph flow in humans.   Practitioners who employ Lymph Drainage Therapy use it to stimulate the lymphatic system and interstitial fluid circulation which they believe are critical for detoxification, regeneration of tissues, and a healthy immune system.  Therapists work with flat hands, using all the fingers to simulate gentle, specific wave-like movements. They believe that these subtle manual maneuvers activate lymph and interstitial fluid circulation as well as stimulate the functioning of the immune and parasympathetic nervous systems. Lymph Drainage Therapy is often used to reduce edemas, for body detoxification, for anti-aging, relaxation and to relieve chronic pain.
