Lymph therapy is a
whole-body approach. The primary purpose of the lymphatic system is to
collect the lymph and return its contents to the bloodstream. It
collects waste products and cellular debris from the tissues to be
eliminated from the body. Moving stagnant lymph is key to health and
rejuvenation. Once lymph fluids are flowing properly, this essential
component of the immune system can enhance the body's natural healing
abilities.
Your lymphatic system
can be compared to a highway. When congested, nothing moves. The same
thing can happen in your body. When proper lymph flow is impaired
fluids can become congested creating a toxic, oxygen deprived
environment. One of the main causes of lymphatic obstruction is hormone
imbalance as well as stress, lack of exercise, injury and surgery. In
women, understanding of this drainage of the breast area is of
particular importance.
The breast or mammary
gland is drained by two sets of lymphatic vessels. Both superficial and
deep lymphatic vessels also communicate with lymphatics in the fascia
of the pectoralis major muscle. Over 85% of the lymph from the breast
enters the axillary nodes found under the arm.
At Optimal Wellness
our therapies have been found to be beneficial in improving healthy
flow of lymphatic fluids, promoting the prevention of conditions of the
breast through normal functions of the axillary nodes.
