The MLD process involves a light vibratory touch to encourage the lymphatic fluid flow toward the main lymphatic ducts and back into the blood system. When the flow of lymphatic elements is reduced, the immune system weakens. Lymphatic drainage can help improve the production and flow of antibodies, thus better empowering the immune system and assisting in detoxification and relaxation. MLD can effectively decrease post - surgical and traumatic edema (swelling). In addition it relieves symptoms of fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, fatigue, migraine headaches, stress and more.
