Lymphatic Drainage

Lymphatic Drainage is a very gentle and rhythmical treatment which improves the lymphatic flow in the body.

The lymph is a body fluid found in the blood which carries excess waste, white blood cells and antibodies.

Lymph circulation differs from blood circulation because the lymphatic system lacks a pump like the heart. The lymph moves around the body by muscular contractions. Lymphatic Drainage massage mimics the action of the lymph in the body. It helps open-up the lymph nodes and stimulate lymph vessel contraction.

Lymphatic Drainage is very relaxing and a good treatment to combat stress as it reduces the body’s “fight or flight response” to stress.

Lymphatic Drainage is good for your overall general health and is especially beneficial when detoxing.

When having this treatment for the first time, please note that a course of 4 sessions is very much advised, as this covers the whole body and will help to assess problem areas.

There are many benefits to this treatment including:

  • Reduces swelling and puffiness
  • Relief of oedema and water retention
  • Boosts and maintain the immune system
  • Helps the body fight infections and speeds-up recovery and healing
  • Can aid weight loss
  • Speeds-up healing in scar tissue
  • Releases toxins and improves lymphatic flow
