Frequently Asked Questions

​The lymphatic system is composed of lymph nodes, fluid (known as lymph), vessels that transport the lymph and organs that consist of lymph tissue such as the spleen, small intestine, and throat. Similar to how veins and capillaries work to move blood through the circulatory system, the lymphatic system is a network of vessels that moves lymph from tissues to the bloodstream. Lymph is made of white blood cells that attack bacteria within the blood and it’s made of intestinal fluid that holds protein and fat. Your lymph nodes are formed in clusters throughout the body in areas like the center of the chest, groin, the armpit and your neck. This system is a key player in the body’s immune system because it helps to move waste and toxins out of your tissues so that they’re flushed out. In a congested lymphatic system the lymph fluid is thick ,sticky and laden with toxins that cannot be properly eliminated. If the lymphatic system isn’t functioning properly, you’ll experience a variety of health issues. 

 To help the lymphatic system work properly, we highly suggest a lymphatic drainage therapy treatment. These can be done manually through the use of long, gentle strokes working the surface area of the skin. Clears congested lymph nodes and moves excessive fluid to the blood stream to be eliminated
