Do you struggle with fatigue, insomnia, poor concentration, joint pain, or inflammation? Does it seem like you continuously suffer from a cold or the flu? Well, the culprit might just be a congested lymphatic system, and Assisted Lymphatic Therapy can help.
Although this body system is extremely important, very few people know what it does or how to keep it functioning and even fewer know how to heal it when it’s congested.
Let’s take a look closer at Assisted Lymphatic Therapy (ALT), which is a great treatment for a congested lymphatic system.
What is the Lymphatic System?
“The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that help rid the body of toxins, waste and other unwanted materials.”- Live Science
Its most important function is to transport lymph throughout the body. Lymph is a fluid that contains the white blood cells needed to fight infections. This system also works together with the circulatory system to eliminate waste from cells.
Because the lymphatic system does not have a pump (such as the heart, which pumps blood through the circulatory system), movement and physical activity are crucial to help the lymph flow.
Unfortunately, chronic inflammation, lack of exercise, fatigue, pollution, age, stress, injury, illness, tight fitting clothes, and an unhealthy diet can restrict the flow of lymph. When lymph is not flowing freely there is a build-up of toxins and waste around our cells, which disrupts oxygen and nutrient delivery.
This causes illnesses and diseases such as the ones listed above.
What is Assisted Lymphatic Therapy?
ALT is a non-invasive, painless, calming, and relaxing therapeutic treatment that stimulates the lymph and breaks up congestion in the lymphatic system.
A lymph drainage instrument with two wands is passed slowly over the body, breaking down congested lymph through a combination of vibration, light, and electrical waves.
Once the congested lymph has been broken down, it can be drained, waste can be eliminated, and the free flow of lymph can resume.
Not only does ALT feel like a light touch massage, its results can be felt immediately.
Thermography and ALT
Thermography scans can detect lymphatic congestion, as well as monitor improvements made after ALT sessions. In this way you can drain your lymph before pathogens have the chance to create serious illnesses.
Benefits of Assisted Lymphatic Therapy
Benefits of ALT include:
- Weight loss
- Detoxification of body tissues
- Reduced discomfort from varicose veins
- Reduced discomfort from fibrocystic breasts
