At Healing Arts we help people detox, removing toxins from their body, while supporting their body with the right nutrition for better health. In doing this, one of our main concerns is to make sure the lymphatic system of the body is moving toxins through effectively. If the lymphatic system slows down then toxins get backed up causing all sorts of problems in the body.
The lymphatic system is composed of vessels throughout the whole body that carry lymph fluid through lymph nodes and particular organs and then through more vessels in order for the lymph to be dumped and recirculated into the blood stream at the collar bones. Unlike blood vessels which have a heart to pump blood, lymphatic vessels don't have a pump to move lymph. Lymph moves by contraction of your muscles. That is why exercise is important for detox among other things.
If the lymph gets backed up and toxins cannot be moved through the body to be detoxed headaches, brain fog, fatigue, mucus in the morning, recurrent sore throats, frequent colds, constipation, unable to lose weight, joint stiffness in the morning, sore breasts, itchy skin and more can occur. These toxins can literally reek havoc in all sorts of ways.
To help the lymphatic system not get backed up with toxins dry brushing, oil pulling, and foot detox bath all help with the lymph and so does a lymphatic therapy session.
Lymphatic therapy aims to improve the efficiency of not only your lymphatic system but also your circulatory system. By dropping the volume of retained fluid and the pressure this special type of treatment can also reduce the risk of impeded circulation. Lymphatic drainage therapy has the potential to improve your immunity and is really beneficial post-surgeries and postpartum. Dr. Armitstead loved getting lymphatic therapy after delivering her daughters to help with recovery postpartum.
We use the Lymphstar Pro Fusion machine which is an electronic instrument that is amazing at moving the lymph at a deep level. It uses low grade electrons to move the lymph and also improve microcirculation and general circulation by the massage therapist running bulbs across the skin. When the glass bulbs sticks to the skin there is lymphatic congestion and when the glass bulb smoothly glides over the skin there is no congestion. If the bulb sticks to your skin then the massage therapist slowly goes over the area until it no longer sticks. There are only a handful of these Lymphstar Pro Fusion machines in NYC and we are so happy to have one to give patients amazing results.
