October is the month for awareness of breast cancer!

It is good time to talk about Manual Lymphatic Drainage, and its role in cancer prevention and wellbeing!

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a very gentle, rhythmical and deeply relaxing massage technique that is very efficient in stimulating the lymphatic system.

MLD is performed predominantly on superficial (skin) level, but it also includes deeper pressure on areas, where lymph nodes are located internally: stomach, abdomen, groin, armpits, popliteal area.

The lymphatic system plays a vital role for regulating the immune system, which protects the body against infection and against development of cancer by eliminating  metabolic wastes, toxins and excess fluid from the body. When the lymphatic system becomes blocked, lymphatic fluid builds up and stagnates causing the entire system to become toxic. This leads to recurrent infections, colds, flu and in a long run can lead to other health problems caused by blockages and stagnation.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage technique helps clear blockages, eliminate excess fluid, metabolic waste and toxins from the body, transport nutrients to cells and increase metabolic efficiency. This all assists in weight reduction. As an added bonus, it has also calming effect on the nervous system and helps relieve stress and tension.

Manual Lymphatic drainage is also a very successful beauty treatment for the face, improving the appearance of the skin and reducing puffiness. It helps rejuvenate collagen fibres and slow the ageing process. MLD is the first part of my Natural facial and my Natural lifting facial with acupuncture and Gua Sha.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage helps for:

Toxic build-up

Cancer prevention

Fluid retention (puffy ankles, legs, eyes, bloating)

Glandular Fever, M.E. (Chronic Fatigue)

Constipation and other digestive disorders

Hormonal imbalances (teenagers, pre and post pregnancy, menopause)

Cellulite reduction and weight loss

PMT (Pre Menstrual Tension)

Migraine, sinus, hay fever

Acne and other skin conditions

Arthritis and rheumatism

Stress, anxiety, tension

Recurring infections (colds, flu, ear, chest)

Beauty: puffy eyes, dark circles, cellulite and weight reduction, for enhancing the texture and appearance of the skin, rejuvenating collagen fibres and slowing  the ageing process.

Please note: I can do MLD on clients with intact lymphatic nodes!
