What is Lymphatic Drainage and Why Is It Beneficial?

Your lymph system is an often overlooked and hugely necessary detox system for your body. Over time, this detox pathway gets blocked. Think of your lymphatic system as a river. Rivers gets blocked and congested with trees branches and debris and that slow the flow. Think of the branches as foreign proteins that the body doesn't know what to do with such as toxins in our food, water, air, medications, cosmetics, household products, really anything synthetic that is foreign to the body, bi-products of cortisol/stress response, emotional or physical trauma including surgeries.

The lymphatic system does not have a pump like the circulatory system (the heart) so things just slow down or stop, toxins build up, inflammation happens, now you have swelling or puffiness, swollen lymph nodes, pain, acne/skin problems, trouble sleeping, stiff/achy joints, etc.

Electro lymphatic drainage wands help clear the drainage sites and attract that stuck fluid/inflammation holding those proteins all the way down to a cellular level and clear the pathway so that your lymphatic river can flow effectively again. This is a painless and even relaxing process that takes about an hour and fifteen minutes.

Electro lymphatic drainage is said to be 8 times more powerful than manual lymphatic massage. It is a powerful detoxing tool that can cause a Herxheimer reaction in some patients so it is recommended to drink increased water the day before and after treatment to help flush the toxins out and use a binder the day of the treatment, such as activated charcoal, to prevent any side effects such as a mild headache, nausea, fatigue.

When you come for a treatment, avoid putting anything on your skin before the treatment such as lotions, deodorant or makeup. Treatment is contraindicated in people with a pacemaker, blood clot or who are pregnant. Intake forms will be completed at the time of your first appointment which we will go over.

Single sessions are $75.00 and 6-session packages are available for $420.00. Six sessions either a week or two apart is optimal and recommended for most people to really unclog the lymphatic system and notice the most physical improvement but as always, you know your body better than anyone and trust your intuition.
