Using lymphatic massage to bust stress

Ugh, stress. While it’s known that some stress can be good for us, it often has negative effects instead.

And it’s not just the mind that’s hurt by stress, it’s the entire body.

It can lead to chronic diseases like heart disease, depression, high blood pressure and obesity.

Nearly one-quarter of Americans report being under extreme stress, according to a survey by the American Psychological Association.

And more Americans say it’s increasing.

But while almost 100 percent of adults say that physical and mental pressure can contribute to the development of major illness, only about 30 percent say they are doing an excellent job of preventing it.

That’s a shame, because there are plenty of ways to relieve the burdens of stress.

Lymphatic massage

If you’ve ever professional massage, you know why it’s a popular way to get rid of tension.

Massage gets to the nervous system through the skin, which stimulates the release of endorphins, your body’s natural “feel good” chemicals.

It’s one of the oldest forms of medical care, and it helps to relieve pain, boost alertness, ease anxiety and bump your white blood cell count.

Lymphatic drainage is a type of massage that stimulates the lymphatic system, the body’s natural defense system.

The circulation of lymphatic flow is increased by using gentle, repetitive and rhythmic touch.

That massage technique rids your body of toxins within the lymph system and increase your resistance to disease.

At the same time, it helps to reduce overall tension within your body.

For the best results, try lymphatic massage at our Palos Verdes location two or three times per week.
