Lymphatic Drainage
What is Lymphatic Drainage?
Up to 60% of the human adult body is water. Like blood vessels, human lymphatic systems are networks of vessels, ducts, nodes, and organs that circulate lymph fluid throughout the body as it nourishes and detoxifies cells. In many cases, stagnant lymph causes accumulation of toxins that cause low energy levels, fatigue, mood swings, and lowered immunity which can lead to disease conditions if left unchecked.
Most Common Reasons for Compromised Lymphatic Flow:
Lack of exercise
humans needs muscle contractions – exercise – to move lymph fluid throughout the body
Surgery and Trauma
Poor Diet Choices
increase congestion and produce excess waste for the lymphatic system
Smoking
Compromised Quality of Air, Water, Food
cause accumulations of carcinogens and metabolic waste products of pollution, pesticides, chemicals and preservatives in cleaning/grooming products and all forms of environmental exposure
Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage Therapy:
Reduce swelling and inflammation after injury and surgery
Reduce lymphedema after a mastectomy
Reduce arthritis symptoms
Diminish headaches and migraines
Improves digestion/sluggish elimination
Detoxification from medications, drugs, chronic congestion
What Patients are Saying…
During my 3 year battle with Stage 4B Ovarian cancer, I’ve undergone several rounds and types of chemo as well as brain radiation. I was having continual neck pain and a sluggish lymphatic system. I reached out to Eastside Wellness and with Kathleen Yow-Wells’ lymphatic drainage my neck pain subsided and my lymphatic system got a much needed kick-start! What i didn’t realize is how much it would improve my digestive system. I’m extremely happy with all my results and continue to go! Best part is when I leave my appts. I feel energized and positive!!
