Made up of lymph vessels, lymph nodes and lymphoid organs, the lymphatic system is the body’s sanitation system. It picks up toxins, metabolic waste, excess water and proteins, cleans it inside the lymph nodes and deposits fluids back into the blood stream. When you optimize the functioning of this system, you optimize your body’s ability to fight infection and to heal from injuries. Manual Lymphatic Drainage increases the lymphatic system’s capacity to reduce swelling and to move out damaged cells to make room for fresh fluid and blood cells that will help the body naturally heal from injuries. Lymph nodes are cleared out and ready to take on new foreign bodies that enter your body. Stronger immune system, better healing capacity, optimal you.
