EXCERPTS:
"Lymphatic
massage is a gentle touch therapy that promotes health and aids
recovery from certain illnesses. This powerful, yet subtle technique
can reduce or prevent fluid retention, enhance the removal of
toxins from body tissues, and support the immune system. Also
called lymphatic drainage or manual lymph drainage, lymphatic
massage is a standard treatment in European hospitals and clinics,
and is used increasingly in North America."
"Because many lymph vessels are just under the skin, moving
the lymph requires a very light touch, barely the weight of
a teaspoon of water. Practitioners use flat hands and finger
pads in painless, rhythmic movements gentle enough to be described
as “feather touch." |
