Lymphatic Drainage

Each day the food that we eat and the air that we breathe causes a build up of toxins inside the body, causing many of us to feel tired, lethargic and unhealthy. Many health experts believe the toxins we take in are a primary cause of many health illnesses, pains and disease. Taking this into account, many people are making detoxing part of our regular routines. Detox treatments cleanse your body thereby helping prevent many of our current societal or cultural medical issues such as obesity, diabetes and even cancer. One detox treatment that I thoroughly believe in is Lymphatic Drainage Massage. This is a technique used to help increase lymph flow.

The Lymphatic system is the body's cleaner; it plays a critical role in helping our body keep healthy and prevent disease. We have lymph nodes all over our body and they work to move toxins through to the areas where there is a concentration of nodes such as the arm pit. The system moves in only one direction and is increased through movement. If there is not enough movement, even walking, the toxins become stagnant in the body. When this happens, we can become sick. Signs that you need Lymphatic drainage massage are frequent colds, joint pain, headaches, arthritis, loss of appetite, unexplainable fatigue, depression and even cellulite.
