Lymphatic drainage

The lymphatic system is essential for your health and well-being. It works with the body’s circulatory system and is a vital part of the immune system. 

The lymphatic system has no pump (unlike the circulatory system), and its fluid is quite viscous. So, our bodies require frequent movement and an increase in core temperature to mobilise lymphatic fluid and clear toxins.

Many people live sedentary lives working in offices. Gym workouts alone don’t really give you enough exercise. And what are you eating? Because your diet is important, too.

The combination of air-conditioning, too little exercise and a poor diet, sadly leads to a build up of toxins in the body.

Frequent sickness and slow recovery from injuries can result.

Lymphatic drainage facilitates detox

Are you considering or actively doing a body cleanse or detox? A lymphatic drainage session is a great way to kick start or more rapidly assist your detox.

Lymphatic drainage treats illness

If you’re experiencing, colds, flu, hay-fever or asthma, a session of lymphatic drainage, combined with Reiki, will be beneficial.

For more serious chest conditions such as bronchitis, asthma attacks (brought on by infection, allergy or physical stimulus), or even pneumonia, Karen has found that combining lymphatic drainage, acupressure and Reiki offers miraculous relief.

Lymphatic drainage treats injury

On the other hand, if you have an injury from playing sport, body building or simply from your regular workouts and training sessions, lymphatic drainage can benefit you, also.

Injuries where there’s continued swelling caused by fluid that’s yet to disperse, can very quickly improve with a combination of therapeutic massage, gentle PNF stretching and lymphatic drainage.

Combining these modalities will have you back in action in no time!
