It
is a very exciting time for Healthy Being, LLC. We have moved into a
larger space (425 33rd Ave, St. Petersburg, FL 33704, 727-50-BEING)
that affords us the opportunity to continue our retail business and
expand upon our natural health and wellness services. Apart from our
nutritional consultations, hormone balancing and enzyme therapies, we
now offer lymphatic therapy through an electronic lymphatic drainage
machine.
At first read it may appear that our new service might
be invasive or painful, but it is not. In fact, we do not even tough
your skin. We use a wand that emits a frequency level that helps your
body's lymph system get moving. The wand is moved back and forth just
over your skin and communicates to the therapist areas where your lymph
system is congested. The therapist then focuses on the areas where you
might be more congested- sometimes near the arm pits under the breast,
ankles/feet.
Frequency therapy and science now shows that the
body responds to certain frequencies in a way that allows a natural
health professional to clear lymph congestion, reduce fibrocystic
conditions and promote overall wellness.
Personally, I have used
lymphatic drainage a few years back when I had a very severe case of
mono. Quite literally, my lymph glands were so swollen I thought I had
a tumor. After one treatment, I felt amazing and was able to notice a
major change to the size and feel of the swollen lymph gland/node. I
attribute my quicker recovery to supporting my lymphatic system to help
clear out cellular waste and allow my body to fight the virus that was
wreaking havoc on my body.
The reason why I was exposed to
lymphatic drainage was through my colonic practitioner in Boston. The
root of our immune system in truly rooted in the gut and intestines. I
felt that if I could cleanse my gut, I would be better able to absorb
nutrients that would allow me to repair my immune system.
Lymphatic
Drainage has many of the same health benefits as Colonic Irrigation.
While the colon's role is to clear the body of waste products that have
passed through the stomach and intestines, the role of the lymphatic
system is to clear the waste products that accumulate in the cells and
muscles of the body. The Lymphatic System is also responsible for
fighting infection and keeping the body healthy.
No
matter how good we are , day after day we pump toxins into our body
through poor diet, alcohol, a polluted environment and a stressful
lifestyle.
What is Lymph?
Lymph
is a clear fluid that circulates throughout the body, cleaning away all
the dead cells, bacteria and toxins. The Lymphatic System is like a
team of garbage collectors, filtering out, gathering up and taking all
the unnecessary waste we accumulate in our bodies in everyday life. It
is the key to a healthy immume system.
The
lymph moves around the body in an extensive network of capillaries and
this pathway must be kept clean and free flowing to work efficiently.
As a sluggish river accumulates pools of stagnant water that act as a
breeding ground for bacteria and disease, likewise, if the Lymphatic
System becomes sluggish, Lymph can remain stagnant in problem areas,
causing inflamation and pain.
The
Lymphatic System mirrors the blood circulatory system but is twice the
size and has more than 600 nodes situated throughout the body. However,
unlike the blood system, the Lymphatic System has no pump and
therefore needs help to keep the Lymph fluid moving. Regular exercise
will help maintain the flow, but congestion can occur in areas as a
result of toxic overload, lack of exercise, improper diet, infection or
injury.
When this happens, the build up will cause inflammation and pain.
Skipping,
trampoline and body brushing are all good ways of stimulating flow of
Lymph but sometimes it is necessary to use additional cleansing
techniques.
How do I know I have a lymph problem?
There
are many physical signs of congestion in the Lymphatic System that can
benefit significantly by improving Lymph circulation. Some of these
include:
- Water Retention, particularly in ankles or fingers, indicating fluid congestion
- General muscle aches and pains or a stiff neck, often as a result of sprains or whiplash
- Cellulite and weight problems
- Breast lumpiness
- Post surgery tissue congestion, scar formation or stretch marks
- Skin problems such as acne
- Carpel Tunnel Syndrome Fibromyalgia

- Breathing problems, such as asthma or sinusitis
- Stress, headaches and migranes
- Immune system problems
- Glucoma

How does Lymphatic Drainage work?
There are two types of technique for Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Massage
This
has been around for several years and is a deep tissue massage
treatment that increases lymphatic flow and therefore very helpful in
elimination of waste and toxins.
Electronic Therapy
This is a newer treatment that is based on Quantum Physics, using electric energy to not only stimulate the flow but by creating a negative energy charge , which helps break up protein clusters that can cause blockages and clog up the Lymphatic System.
Whilst
working on the Lymph, the treatment also stimulates the blood flow and
helps prevent the blood cells from sticking together. Oxygen and
nutrients can therefore be delivered to the body tissues more
effectively.
What is the difference between these two techniques?
Electronic therapy has a number of very clear benefits over manual massage:
- It
can reach areas that manual massage cannot reach. The major components
of the lymphatic system occur in areas protected by bony structure,
such as the upper chest area. Electronic thereapy vibrates and
stimulates the lymph nodes under the bone structure, which cannot be
achieved manually.
- It
can treat areas that would normally be too painful for manual massage
such as ME and Fibromyalga . Electronic therapy stimulates the Lymph
without putting pressure on the muscles.
- It
can generate quicker results than manual massage because it provides
immediate blockage relief in the key Lymph nodes. If these nodes are
blocked, then the Lymph will not drain away properly. For many
conditions, Electronic Therapy will achive as much in one session as in
several manual massage sessions.
The
equipment I use is the lymph star pro. It has adjustable strengths that
are individualized for each client based on their body and needs.
The
number of treatments required will vary depending on the severity of
the condition. In more severe cases, it is recommended to have
treatments 2-3 times a week, reducing down to once a month. Treatment
times will also vary, an average session will normally take 30-60
minutes.
