What is Lymphatic system?

Within each of us there exists the invisible system that is continually working beneath the surface and is connected to every inch of our body – tidying up and sending vitality and support to ensure that we are the most radiant and healthiest version of ourselves. This is the lymphatic system.

Our Lymphatic system is the sanitation and recycling system of our body. It plays a number of critical roles in our body:
– Its essential part of the immune system, producing white blood cells with the power to destroy harmful pathogens.
– It acts as a rubbish collector, filtering our bacteria and toxins that can cause disease.
– It aids the digestive system by absorbing fat and fatty tissues and transporting them back to the bloodstream, making them available as fuel to your cell.
– It removes metabolic waste from the body. When the system is not functioning properly, the body retains the damaging waste, and cannot drain it properly.
– And finally, it maintains the fluid balance in your body by collecting, purifying and draining excess fluids so your tissues don’t swell.

A common symptoms of a compromised Lymphatic system:
• Skin breakouts/blemishes
• Puffy eyes
• Bloating
• Chronic fatigue
• Swelling in lymph nodes
• Muscle aches & pains
• Swollen joints
• Sore throats
• Getting colds more often
• Frequent infections or viruses
• Fatigue

Why does the lymphatic system go wrong?

The lymphatic flow can stagnate for many reasons, such as swelling, chronic inflammation, too little exercise, poor diet, stress, fatigue, emotional shock, poorly fitted bras, or wearing bras for an excessive amount of time. When lymphatic circulation slows down, the regeneration of cells becomes less effective.

How can Lymphatic Drainage help you?

Draining your lymphatic system is perhaps the most universally accessible way to promote a strong immune system, reduce water retention and promote healthy lymph and blood circulation.

Manual Lymphatic drainage treatment (MLD) is designed to stimulate Lymphatic system, by clearing blockages, thereby eliminating toxins and allowing freer and more efficient transport of nutrients to cells. In turn, this boosts the immune system and increases metabolism. MLD is a very special type of massage, it utilises a very light pressure combined with soft pumping movements in the direction of the lymph nodes. MLD follows a specific sequence over the body, so lymph isn’t trapped anywhere, making sure the area is treated with care.

MLD may also help with:

• Promotion of scar tissue healing, torn ligaments and sprains
• Swelling relief following cosmetic surgery
• Improving chronic conditions such as sinusitis, arthritis, acne and other skin conditions
• Reducing cellulite

With all MLD treatments I create a personalised aromatherapy blend to support the Lymphatic system and help to stimulate lymphatic flow, to get the best possible results.
