The proper functioning of the lymphatic system is critical to our body's ability to drain stagnant fluids, detoxify, regenerate tissues, filter out toxins and foreign substances, and maintain a healthy immune system. (Asdonk, 1970, Adrair & Guyton, 1982)
Lymphatic Drainage therapy was designed to work with the human fluid system or lymphatic system. The lymphatic system drains stagnant fluids, detoxifies and filters out toxins and foreign substances, and maintains a healthy immune system.
The lymphatic system like the venous system is comprised of vein like structures called lymphatic vessels. These vessels act as a vacuum to cleanse and transport substances (i.e., toxins, hormones, fatty acids, proteins) to lymph nodes which can process them.
Like the venous system, the lymphatic system relies on muscular movement to help move the lymphatic fluid, or lymph, to the nodes. If the vessel is compromised or overwhelmed stagnation may occur resulting in swelling, fatigue, stress, infections, accumulated toxins and reduced cellular functioning.
Lymphatic drainage is a gentle therapy that supports or encourages the lymphatic flow and drainage and may be beneficial for the following:
Chronic and subacute inflammation
Edemas
Infections
Pre and post surgery
Injuries, especially those that seem to not heal
Swelling of the face, hands and feet
Detoxification
Excess water gain
