The proper functioning of the lymphatic system is critical to our body\u2019s 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)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE THERAPY\u00a0is a gentle therapy that supports or encourages the lymphatic flow and drainage.<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lymphatic system is a key component of our immune system.\u00a0 Like the venous system, it is comprised of vein-like structures called lymphatic vessels. These vessels act as a vacuum to drain, cleanse and transport substances (i.e., bacteria, viruses, toxins,\u00a0hormones, fatty acids, proteins) to lymph nodes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the lymph system becomes compromised or overwhelmed stagnation may occur resulting in swelling, fatigue, stress, infections, accumulated toxins and reduced cellular functioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If stagnation occurs and the system becomes overwhelmed, lymphatic drainage encourages lymphatic flow and helps the system regain homeostasis.
