Are you feeling tired, wish you had more energy, congested, or worried about the aging skin around your chest and neck? Not sure what to turn to? Massage, Exercise, Cleaner foods, you’ve tried it all right? Still not feeling up to par? Well Ladies! You're in for a treat with a lymphatic drainage session with Jennifer Telford of Ho’ano Wellness for Women.

The proper functioning of the lymphatic system is critical to our body’s ability to drain stagnant fluids, detoxify, regenerate tissues, filter out toxins and foreign substances, and maintain a healthy immune system. Lymphatic Drainage involves a gentle manual rhythmic technique to aid in the recirculation of body fluids. The normal peristaltic movement of our lymphatic system can be compromised due to surgery, trauma, burns, fatigue, stress, diet, and infection.

Manual Lymph Drainage is a healthy, natural and effective treatment that helps to restore and revitalize the lymph vessel system. MLD is a gentle skin stretch technique with a systematic series of precise movements that accelerates the re-absorption and elimination of excess fluids via the lymph system. MLD was created in the 1930’s by Dr. Emil Vodder from Austria. He and his wife found that by using a systemic series of movements accessing the lymph system, patients were relieved on congestive conditions. MLD is receiving popularity and is widely used by plastic surgeons and the health care community in both Europe and Latin America.

 

Lymphatic drainage can provide relief from swelling, puffy eyes, sinusitis of the face, detoxification of the body, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, provides anti-aging effects, relief from chronic pain, tension, and anxiety. In addition, lymphatic drainage can aid in the elimination of waste material while increasing lymphatic circulation. For women, Lymphatic Drainage in the breast and abdominal areas may offer a preventative and health maintenance approach for female concerns. This includes fibroids, fibrocystic breasts, breast pain, and lactational disturbances. Lymphatic drainage is also beneficial for women who have undergone mastectomy and other breast surgeries relieving post-operative pain and swelling while assisting the reabsorption and removal of lymph fluid away from the chest area and extremities. MLD can offer a preventative approach for those at-risk for lymphedema. Other benefits include: deep relaxation, improved immunity, natural pain analgesic, pre/op care and reductions of swelling and bruising due to post op care and issues related to hips, knees and shoulders.

 

According to Ms. Telford, “Lymphatic drainage offers more then physiological benefits, it also connects us to one’s emotional well-being enabling a woman to connect with her heart center. With some clients the subtleness of the touch creates an ethereal experience or surreal state allowing one to surface repressed emotions. The lymphatic system is the water system of our body which is our emotional well being. 

So whether you are seeking a Lymphatic Drainage session for detox, beauty or healing, an MLD session will activate your lymph vessel system to reabsorb excess fluids and will provide a deep sense of relaxation, a more contoured slimming feeling of the face and body, you will feel lighter, may help to improve immune function and so much more.
