The human body is amazing! Simultaneously delicate and resilience, and that dichotomy is no better demonstrated than in that system of your body whose basic purpose is to protect your body and help it win battles against viruses and infections: your lymphatic system.
Did you know that initial lymph vessels are one single endothelial cell thick, approximately the size of a human hair?
And yet, it is your lymph system that battles illness for you and most often wins.
It is “estimated that without lymphatic flow, the average resting person would die within 24 hours” (Guyton and Hall Textbook of Medical Physiology.) On it’s own, lymph moves 3-7 times per minute in your body. With the help of Manual Lymphatic Drainage treatment, that efficacy increases to up to 30 times per minute. This means, more effective, more efficient, better faster.
Wonder what that looks like? So did some research scientists who figured out how and created this amazing video of lymph moving during a Manual Lymphatic Drainage treatment. (Science from the Journal, Annual Review of Medicine.)
Watch your lymph flow with the support of Manual Lymphatic Drainage (not massage) Skin Treatment!
Your body is Amazing!!
I’m so thrilled to be able to add this modality to my toolkit for use supporting your health and wellbeing.
Stay tuned for more on MLD; when it’s indicated, when it is not, and the variety of conditions it can help.
