What is Lymphatic Drainage?
The Lymphatic System: The Unsung Hero of our Body
It’s the answer to healthy, clear, glowing skin. If you want to lose weight, stop bloating and minimize the appearance of cellulite....
The lymphatic system is the sewer system of our body. It irrigates our tissue; filters and flushes excess fluid and cellular waste from the spaces between our cells, providing a clean environment for them to function and receive the nutrients they need.
It maintains fluid balance, facilitates our regenerative processes and is the foundation and function for our adaptive immunological responses. If it stops functioning, you will die within 24 hours. Sounds dramatic, but it’s true.
The lymphatic system is the unsung “lift-sustaining” hero of the body and works in conjunction with the circulatory system to support and maintain the overall health and functioning of all our organs.
