How can MLD help?
- Loosen tight clothing – this inhibits lymph flow '
- Increase the amount of water you drink over the next few days – the body will be in a state of high toxicity for a few days after the treatment.
- Reduce your caffeine intake (coffee, tea, colas)
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours
- Try to cut down on smoking
- Make time to rest and relax- this allow the blood pressure to return to normal if has dropped during a treatment (this often happens)
- Regular (but not too strenuous) exercise helps with muscle contraction and joints mobilization propel the lymph to regional nodes, therefore lymph flow.
- Deep diaphragmatic breathing also helps to promote healthy lymph congestion .Diet is important; a light diet of row foods id recommended so that the body does not need to concentrate on sluggish digestions.
- Remember, low sodium diets are recommended for a healthy lymphatic system – poor diets are a contributing factor to poor lymphatic drainage Frequent visit to the toilet Runny nose and/or cough Slight rush as the skin rebalances Perspiration – another way that the body can excrete waste Conditions which have been suppressed may flare up temporarily before they heal Deep sleep or difficulty sleeping and vivid dreams To ensure that you gain maximum benefit from a massage treatment, I recommend that you: Occasionally, you may experience reactions when the body its self-healing process and elimination of toxins. These reactions may include: Those reactions are only temporary and should clear within 24-48 hours. They are positive signals that your body has responded to the treatment and is balancing itself.
