Developed in the 1930s, lymph massage has a long history of being beneficial to the overall health of the body. It naturally stimulates the body’s lymphatic system, improving metabolism and assisting with the elimination of waste and toxins. Combined with colon hydrotherapy, it’s a crucial instrument in cleansing the body.

Lymphatic massage uses gentle, soothing and targeted massage to stimulate the flow of lymph through the body. The increased flow of lymph detoxifies cells and revitalizes internal organ functions.  Each session lasts 55 minutes and covers several techniques, including client education. The recommended program is three sessions within the first month.

What is Lymph?

Lymph is a clear, viscous fluid that flows throughout the tissues of the body. Its purpose is to bring in nutrients and take away waste.

Lymph carries the body’s immune response – white blood cells, T-cells and lymphocytes. When your body senses a viral or bacterial intruder, the lymphatic system kicks in and sends extra fluid to the attack site.

The benefit of lymphatic massage

After you’ve recovered from an illness, extra fluid is left at the attack site, which robs that area of nutrition and oxygen. Lymph drainage increases the ability of the body to process fluids, thus promoting overall wellness. It helps to clean and fortify the blood supply and drain out unwanted toxins.

Conditions conditions

Lymph massage can help a number of common conditions, including all respiratory ailments. It is especially useful after a surgery because it improves the function of the immune system. Of course, we also recommend a series of colonic sessions after a surgery to bring full function back to the body.

Lymphatic massage and a colonic?

Because it stimulates waste product removal, lymph massage can greatly enhance the effects of colonics. Abdominal massage can prepare the bowels to receive the colon hydrotherapy and can also ease any discomfort.
