Stressed? Immune Booster with Lymphatic Massage

For many students, this time of year - mid-terms - can trigger new stresses.  With new stresses come a new low in our body’s ability to fight sickness and disease.  Help your immune system hit a new high with Lymphatic Massage! 

Our lymphatic system plays an integral part of our immune system.  Lymph is a colorless fluid that carries white blood cells (disease fighters!) to our lymph nodes.  Once there, our lymph nodes help filter out dangerous toxins responsible for infections and disease.  Because the lymphatic system lacks a central pump, lymph flow can be slow going. 

Lymphatic Massage

The best way to encourage lymph flow, and discourage lymph fluid build-up, is through Lymphatic Massage.  Most lymphatic vessels are located just below the skin’s surface, so not a lot of pressure is used in this massage.  The result is a gentle, non-painful type of bodywork that’s suitable for everyone! 

 

Besides strengthening your immune system, check out the other great benefits of Lymphatic Massage:
