Lymphatic Drainage Therapy And Its Benefits

The lymphatic system helps to clear waste and toxins in our bodies. It is a web of interconnected vessels that helps to transport the toxins and waste through the fluid called lymph. If the lymphatic system is healthy and functioning properly, it eliminates wastes from the body, using the natural movement of body vessels. The lymphatic system is an important part of the general immune system of our body. If the system recognizes a foreign body that is harmful to our wellbeing, it sends it to the lymph nodes using the fluid within this vessel and it gets disposed.

It is important to keep our lymphatic system at its optimal functionality, as it can be affected by too much stress, body dehydration, overload of toxins and infections. Once it gets affected, it can result in swells around the body, creating blockages of normal lymph flow and disrupting toxins elimination pathways. Accumulation of toxins around the body will result in increased toxicity of organs and system that can create multiple health conditions.

This is why the lymphatic drainage therapy is vital. It is a process performed on the body, to help stimulate it and ensure smooth movement of this fluid. The lymphatic drainage therapy helps to eradicate swells caused by the build-up of this excess fluid.

The lymphatic drainage therapy is a technological process that helps to stimulate the body tissues and allow free lymph flow throughout the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is delicate, so it requires a gentle touch, as too much pressure can cause damage. At Atlant Health Wellness Center, we use a very special lymphatic therapy machine that has proven over the years been more effective than a manual manipulation for lymphatic drainage and it ensures a smooth and safe procedure.

Our therapeutic lymphatic device uses low energy vibration in the form of acoustic and electrostatic fields. The therapy wands contain noble gases that are stimulated by the low current field, and when applied to the skin causes a dilation of the vessels. The acoustic waves create a vibrational pulsing effect and when used at multiple treatment points create an electro pressure field. Along with manual stimulation of the lymph nodes, this electrical stimulation assists lymph drainage up to 8 times faster than manual lymph drainage alone.

In this article, we explain why lymphatic therapy is an essential modality for better health.

Why lymphatic drainage therapy is essential?

Lymphatic drainage can be done through a lymphatic therapy process. It is a process that helps to stimulate body lymph system and soft muscle tissues to free up congested parts of the body that interrupt the lymph flow. In certain individuals, excess fluids can build up in parts of their body and cause a condition called edema. Edema could be a result of surgery, injuries, or certain medical conditions. The lymph nodes can swell due to this excess fluid, and it causes lymphedema.

According to WebMD notes, this swelling process is caused when there is a leakage of fluid from the small blood vessels into the body tissues. Over time, this fluid gathers and makes the tissues to swell.

The lymphatic drainage therapy is a treatment that helps to move the excess fluid that has gathered to cause this swelling. This swelling can affect the whole body or only a section of it.

The lymphatic drainage process involves the use of standard lymphatic drainage technology, and several techniques. This technological process has been confirmed to be more effective than the manual process for lymphatic drainage. Kindly note that this type of lymphatic therapy doesn’t involve the massage or any other manual method. For more information, please read our Lymphatic Therapy page.
