Method and Benefits

Practicing lymphatic drainage daily, for five to ten minutes a day, stimulates and maintains lymphatic circulation. This promotes the elimination of metabolic waste, improves the supply of restorative substances, and enhances immune defences. It can be used in cases of chronic inflammation, lymphatic edema, connective tissue diseases (rheumatism, osteoarthritis), cellulite, stretch mark prevention, heavy legs, water retention, slimming treatments, and intestinal transit.

Lymphatic drainage must be accompanied by a balanced diet and exercise (walking, gymnastics). To effectively carry out this cleansing process, it is essential to drink at least one liter of water daily, as water carries waste to organs responsible for purifying and eliminating toxins (through urine, bile, sweat, and exhalation).

The movements of this technique must follow the direction of lymphatic circulation (instructions are included in the package with the rollers). The massage should be slow, rhythmic, and without particular pressure.

It should be entirely painless and must not cause redness or irritation. The technique is effective without any discomfort.

The Lymph

Lymph is a yellowish fluid that circulates in lymphatic vessels. It contains white blood cells, especially lymphocytes, making it comparable to blood, though it lacks red blood cells. It plays a crucial role in the immune system, particularly through lymph nodes, which capture and destroy microbes carried by the lymph through phagocytosis. Its role in drainage and purification is essential, as it carries waste products and unused elements, assists with erections, and transports certain body cells, playing a role in the appearance and spread of cancer metastases.

Lymph Nodes

Lymph nodes collect all the lymph during its slow circulation, which parallels venous circulation. They act as filtering stations for lymph and produce cells with immune activity.

History

In ancient Greece, Hippocrates’ and Aristotle’s schools mentioned vessels in the human body containing a transparent fluid called “sanies.” In the 10th century AD, Arab scientists referenced lymphatic circulation. Then in 1653, Danish physician and mathematician Thomas Bartholin described the lymphatic system. Finally, in the 19th century, French anatomist François Constant Sappey described the lymphatic circulation network.

In 1932, Emil and Astrid Vodder discovered the method and benefits of manual lymphatic drainage by treating a patient with chronic sinusitis and acne through light circular massages. Subsequently, they opened the first lymphatic drainage institute in 1936 in Copenhagen.
