Immune System Booster

 

 “Lymphatic system booster is a massage treatment that boosts the immune system by stimulating the lymphatic system.  It helps to improve your skin by stimulating collagen and hyaluronic acid within it.  In addition, the metabolic process is improved by enhancing the body's natural process of promoting oxygen in cells and breaking down proteins, minerals, and nutrients.  In the same way, it promotes relaxation while regulating the system that serves as the first responder.  The immune system, which is in the frontline fighting against bacteria and viruses, eliminates damaged cells, and combats cancer cells.  This is a customized massage for those who prefer light pressure but desire an intentional massage to improve their wellness as part of prioritizing their health.” 

 

Massage therapy is a well-known method that promotes relaxation, blood circulation, anxiety, fibromyalgia, and nerve pain, among other benefits.  Massage benefits are mainly achieved by stimulating the autonomic nervous system.  This system is self-sufficient, without any conscious effort, and regulates body processes like blood pressure and breathing rates.  

Recognizing the advantages of massage is not a problem.  The challenge lies in the fact that there are numerous massage modalities, with 180 being found in my research.  Massage is a personalized experience for each therapist due to their unique techniques, pressure levels, and focus methods.  In the same matter, the needs of each person create individualized experiences for them.  It's no wonder why considering which treatment is the best for one's needs can cause stress.  The key to successfully choosing the right massage is to be clear on what the goal is.  Having a clear vision of your goal and the advantages of techniques used during treatment can help you choose the correct service.

 

The Lymphatic System Booster purpose and benefits

 

The lymphatic system booster is inspired by the traditional lymphatic drainage massage, but uses just a few different techniques as the order of the traditional massage is different.  There is a slight difference in the flow of the techniques.  On the other hand, the benefits are the same.

Traditionally, lymphatic drainage massage uses very light pressure with little or no lotion.  By manipulating certain areas of the body, excess fluid buildup can be moved away from lymph vessels and lymph nodes, which promotes the flow of lymphatic fluid and removes toxins from the body.  

In the lymphatic system booster treatment, the massage begins with traditional techniques until we gradually increase the flow by using oil and increasing the speed of light strokes.  The objective of Muscular Structure Therapy is to enhance the natural body's own mechanism for healing through vasodilation.  Therefore, all treatments involve strokes that promote body temperature, and when indicated, thermotherapy is included.

 

The lymphatic system collects lymph fluid and returns it to your heart through the lymph vessels and lymph nodes.  When this system's process is disrupted, such as lymph node removal and radiation therapy, lack of circulation, and inflammation, it loses its ability to properly filter and transport lymph fluid, remove toxins, and transport immune cells.  It's important to know that the causes of lymphatic obstruction are not consistent.  These include infections, injuries, lack of movement, poor nutrition, particularly eating habits based on carbohydrates and refined foods.  Also, when we experience stress, cortisol, the stress hormone, is released, which results in metabolic accumulation.  

The metabolic process is responsible for regulating important cell functions and providing energy by converting food and drinks into energy.  The body experiences various effects from metabolic accumulation, which vary depending on the metabolite's own abilities of functioning.  These changes are gradual and unnoticed, and some of the symptoms can be similar to those experienced during the monthly menstrual period.  For example, bloating, headaches, and brain fog.  The number of symptoms can increase during menopause, and many women may develop tired, swollen legs and ankles, tightness in their breasts, and a protruding gut.  

Women's bodies undergo inevitable changes during menopause, such as hormonal changes and a decrease in metabolic rate.  These highlights are some of the reasons why it is important to prioritize improving the lymphatic system.  Boosting the system involved in regulating the immune system is one small step towards health and wellness.  It's impossible to stop time and the changes our bodies experience, but we have the ability to control how fast and far they progress.  It is vital to incorporate healthy habits that assist our bodies in operating at their full capacity.
