WHAT IS A LYMPHATIC DETOX?
You may have heard of lymphatic detox, but what exactly is it and what are the benefits? Simply put, in a lymphatic detox, a facilitator helps to encourage the natural movement of the lymphatic system which is responsible for carrying away waste products and excess fluid from the body's tissues. It plays a vital role in our health and is essential to our immunity.
Unlike the cardiovascular system, our lymphatic system does not have a built-in pump — which is why the lymphatic system needs manual “draining” in order to keep the system humming optimally. When it slows, immune health is compromised.
How Does a Lymphatic Detox Work?
A lymphatic detox session can last anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour and can be especially beneficial for anyone who is suffering from edema, sinus congestion, or chronic fatigue. It can also help to improve immunity and digestive function. It is great for autoimmune disease, acne, rosacea, sinusitis, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, Lymes disease, and constipation. It is also a wonderful technique for healthy individuals who are wanting to boost their immune function and feel their best.During the lymphatic detox, the therapist or facilitator uses gentle pressure and rhythmic movements to stimulate the flow of lymph fluid. Although far from a deep tissue massage, this modality can be incredibly effective. The therapist will use a light touch on the skin to help increase the movement of fluid through the lymph vessels. The therapist may also use special instruments during the massage that help to increase the flow of fluid. This helps to reduce swelling and promote healing.
What Are The Benefits Of Lymphatic Detox?
There are many potential benefits of lymphatic detox including reducing swelling, promoting healing, improving immunity, and aiding digestion. Lymphatic detox encourages the circulation of lymphatic fluid through your body via pressure and motion, hence increasing detoxification. It also helps to improve energy levels and reduce fatigue. If you are considering a lymphatic detox, be sure to speak with your doctor first to see if it is right for you.
5 Additional Ways to Promote Lymphatic Movement:
● Exercise: Movement is great for your lymph nodes.
● Eat A Healthier Diet: Consume plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits. This keeps your lymphatic system clean (along with the rest of your body).
● Drink Water: It helps your lymphatic system and other organs function properly.
● AVOID Sugary drinks and sweets. These items overwork the system.
● Walking: Just a 10-minute walk in the fresh air will help to get the lymphatic system moving.
A lymphatic detox is important for maintaining good health and helps to encourage the natural movement of the lymph system. If you are considering a lymphatic detox, be sure to speak with your doctor first to see if it is right for you. Otherwise, I'd love to see you for your next immune-boosting Lymphatic Detox Session!
