As part of the immune system the lymph system effects every part of the body. When the body becomes over-loaded with toxins, pollutants, viruses, bacteria and other waste materials, these accumulate in the lymph nodes causing them to swell and become painful. Under these conditions the lymph cannot drain properly and backs up spilling these toxins into the surrounding tissue creating an ideal environment for disease. Fat cells can swell up to 300 times their origional size when the lymphatic system is congested. The benefits of Lymph drainage are as follows: reduces edema, swelling, and inflammation, reduces pain and swelling after masectomy! 45 minutes per treatment. A series of 6 -12 recommended.

How often should I get Lymphatic drainage?  Initally, twice a week for two to three weeks then once a week until the main drain ports have cleared and stay clear upon palpation.  If the breasts are tender or painful to the touch or if your underarms are tender or painful to the tough, lymphatic drainage should be administered until they stay clear.  Lymphatic drainage improves the effectiveness of Endermologie because Endermologie moves the lymph and toxins out of the system. But if the lymphatic drainage ports are not clear then the toxins will continue to circulate throughout the body until the drainage sites are opened properly.
