Lymphatic Drainage Therapy

What is the lymphatic system?

The lymphatic system is part of the circulatory system and a vital part of the immune system, comprising a network of lymphatic vessels that carry a clear fluid called lymph (from Latin lympha meaning water) directionally towards the heart. It is the information highway of our immune system and the pathway for toxic removal.

How do I know if I have a lymphatic problem?

Proper lymphatic flow is a result of physical activity and an overall healthy circulatory system. But stagnation can occur in the system causing congestion and thicker lymphatic fluid. Also, surgery, injuries, radiation therapy, and removal of lymph structures create scar tissue that blocks the flow. This block in flow may result in symptoms such as sinus trouble, headaches, swelling (edema), fatigue and chronic pain syndromes, skin and other infections, asthma, allergies, poor digestion, ongoing pain after surgery and injuries, and premature aging.
