Lymphatic Drainage Massage


Our bodies are machines made up of complex organs and systems that work together to keep itself working at optimum capacity. Our brain mans the controls, our bones and muscles move us around, and our immune system employs our lymphatic system to keep us healthy and to protect us from disease. The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that serve as the bodies' clean up crew, ridding the body of toxins and waste by producing white blood cells and transporting lymph up to the lymph nodes located near the collarbone which connect into the subclavian veins then back down through the circulatory system. Because the lymphatic system only transports up, it sometimes loses against gravity and could benefit from a drainage massage.

Lymphatic massage is designed to assist the system in its battle against gravity by using soft pressure in various areas on the body where key lymph organs are located. Lymphatic drainage is not your typical deep tissue or hot stone treatment; in fact the crossing over of these treatment in one session can cause severe reactions in the body. One must be sure to seek out qualified professionals like the therapists at Miami Beauty Clinic. The treatment is gentle and often focuses on one or two key areas where the lymph nodes have become inflamed and have caused a stagnant pooling of lymph in the body.

When our system becomes stagnant it is increasingly difficult to get it going again. A stagnant lymph system can also make it exceedingly difficult to lose weight. That is why many dietitians and weight loss coaches recommend stimulating the lymphatic system through exercise and massage. It is recommended that those looking to kick start their weight loss program have a lymphatic drainage once a month to help detox their bodies.

Some of America's most prolific cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and Miami have an appreciation for this holistic approach to fat loss. Our bodies have a hard time functioning when one or many of its systems are not working properly. The lymphatic system is often forgotten about although it is one of the more important systems to our health and is also a key component in our fitness routine. Help your body take care of you. Visit places like Miami Beauty Clinic for assistance in full body lymphatic drainage and detox.

Beauty is health. Health is beauty. Take care of your whole self and be beautifully healthy.
