This preventative remedial massage activates lymphatic circulation, stimulates the nervous system and strengthens the immune system.  The slow light rhythmic repetitive strokes move stagnant colourless lymphatic fluid around the body, stimulating and strengthening the body’s natural healing process as well as encouraging younger healthier looking skin.

The Lymphatic System functions to drain excess fluid from the body cells and tissues.  It helps in the purification of blood in the body.  The lymphatic system is a filter system that filters away bacteria, viruses, foreign substances, debris and toxins invading the body.   It destroys viruses and bacteria in the body.  It fights antigens and activates immune cells.  It is a defence mechanism for the body.  It defends the body against diseases by producing lymphocytes i.e. white blood cells, which fight infections and tumour cells e.g. cancer.  It helps the healing process of the body.  It absorbs and distributes fat soluble nutrients to the body.  The lymphatic system supports every other system in the body.  It interfaces throughout the body with other body systems e.g. digestive, immune, respiratory and circulatory.  It is part of the immune system which is the body's security force, protecting the body against invasion from outside and subversion from within. We have twice as much lymph fluid in our body as blood.  The movement of our lymphatic system is powered by our breathing and movement.   If the movement of the lymph stopped entirely you would die in a matter of hours.
