Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle, rhythmical and relaxing massage to detoxify, encourage stimulation of the Lymphatic System and Nervous System.

Lymph is a milky white fluid that not only carries lymphocytes, which attack invading organisms to our bodies, but also carries wastes and toxins to be eliminated from our bodies.

The lymphatic system is the body's defensive or immune system and not pumped by the heart organ. As such, needs to be kept flowing freely.

The tissue-draining technique is a cleansing effect on loose connective tissue that breaks down and transports away the nutrients activated by the stress reactions.

Lymphatic Drainage is a pleasant treatment to receive, vital for improving and maintaining good health and well-being.
