Lymph Massage
Our
bodies are made of a complex host of
systems and functions. The
lymphatic system is one of the most
important systems and supports all
functions within the body. There
is actually twice as much lymph
fluid in the body as blood, making
over 50% our total fluids.
Powered only by breathing and
movement, the lymph system flows in
one direction through every cell in
the body, to remove debris and
impurities. There
are 500 junctions in the body,
called lymph nodes, that act as
filters that cleanse and act as a
booster to the immune system.
As blood circulates through
the body delivering oxygen and
nutrients, the local cells pick them
up, use what they need and get rid
of waste, dead cells and impurities.
The lymph nodes work to create
antigens that combat these
impurities and restore the body’s
balance. At times
the lymph system’s flow can become
blocked with impurities and
by-products and cause serious
illness or disease. Much
like a river that becomes clogged
with pollution, the flow may need to
take a detour, or the river may
become clogged completely.
The
lymph massager influences many paths
to health.
-
Can
stimulate the release of ATP
(Adenosine triphosphate), the
molecules from which all cells
derive energy.
-
Increases phagocytosis,
(encapsulating and eliminating -
pathogens and debris.)
-
Can
increase circulatory function,
helping to
move
nutrients, gases, and wastes, to
and from cells.
Helps to fight disease in
order to maintain homeostasis.
-
Stimulates the production of
collagen, (which is found in all
of the connective tissues), thus
reducing pain and inflammation
throughout the body.
-
Aids
in tissue regeneration, the
repair process of cells, and so
much more.
-
Can improve circulation in skin,
reducing wrinkles, and
blemishes.
The
lymph massager may be applied to
virtually any part of the body,
to alleviate
pain, stimulate blockages
in the lymph nodes and oxygenate the
system.
