Manual Lymphatic Drainage

The Lymphatic system is also called "The River of Life".  It is the most important system in the body.  It effects every single cell, tissue, organ, and every other system in the body.

The Lymphatic System is a network of lymph capillaries that continuously collects waste fluid that surrounds your cells, cleans the fluid through the lymph nodes, and returns the filtered fluid back to blood circulation.  Unlike the cardiovascular system, it does not have its own pump, so it depends on musculoskeletal movement to pump the fluid.  When the system becomes sluggish or clogged, the body is unable to curcuated lymphosytes, leaving the body susceptible to illness and disease.  Keeping the Lymphatic System healthy is vital to immune health.
