The lymphatic system is a complicated network of vessels, ducts, and nodes that
move fluid between the cells and tissues. It is the most underrated part of the
circulatory system in the human body.
Sadly, many health-care practitioners rarely consider the critical role lymph
plays in preventing sickness and keeping us healthy.
Our lymphatic system is primarily responsible for carrying disease-fighting
material to cells attacked by germs, transporting the dead germs away and
supplying protein-rich plasma fluid back to the heart. When this system is
blocked, we become defenseless against attacks by virus, fungi and bacteria.
Unlike your venous system, your lymphatic system has no pumping mechanism to
keep the fluid circulating through the body. Therefore, the lymphatic system is
always at a higher risk for blockage.

Blockages can occur from normal stressors such as: illness, tight-fitting
clothing including bras, ties, jockey shorts & pantyhose, lack of exercise,
bumps, bruises, circulation, food allergies or sensitivities, surgery, or
stress.
Lymph vessels can become clogged with protein deposits leading to sluggish flow
(congestion) and impaired function. The causes of lymphatic congestion range
from injuries and surgery, inactivity and poor diet, to emotional/stress states,
environmental toxins, hormone imbalance, and normal aging processes. When this
state occurs the blockages cause a backup in the flow of lymphatic fluid,
resulting in swelling or edema in the tissues and various kinds of “symptoms.”
Consequently, toxic waste matter cannot effectively be released from the body,
nor can the immune system function at optimum performance. The result is a wide
range of dysfunction and disease.
Within the last decade, a new form of electronic instrument was found to assist
and amplify the effects of manual lymph drainage, reducing the time and
complexity of the therapy by as much as 8 times. This instrument is called the
Lymphstar® Pro.
BENEFITS
-
Improves edemas, fibrotic conditions, and swollen lymph nodes. Some conditions
reported to have benefited from therapy include breast lumps, inflammation,
chronic pain, joint aches, allergies, sinus, respiratory problems, headaches,
prostate problems, hormone imbalance and chronic female conditions, dental
trauma and chronic problems, heavy metal toxicity, neuromuscular trauma, immune
and fatigue syndromes.
-
Excellent adjunct to manual lymph drainage techniques to open lymph system and
improve fluid flow and accelerate detoxification of tissues.
-
Reduction of pain due to lymphatic conditions.
-
Prevention of breast and prostrate problems.
-
Pre- and post-athletic applications to increase performance and decrease muscle
and tendon strain.
-
Provides relaxation, emotional balance, feelings of wellbeing, and increased
energy.
-
Cosmetic enhancement by the reduction of fluid deposits in the face, healthier skin,
