Lymphatic massage is an advanced therapeutic technique used to help the lymph system do  its job better. This technique employs slow, gentle, and deep strokes to  assist the movement of lymphatic fluid which can support the overall  function of the immune system. By understanding the anatomy and function  of this delicate system, your therapist can assist your body in  clearing sluggish tissues of waste and swelling. Using very light  pressure along with soft pumping movements in the direction of the lymph  nodes; Lymphatic Drainage Massage is known to have a positive effect on  people with fluid retention/puffiness (edema) and also problematic skin  (including cellulite). 

It is also recommended for individuals who suffer regularly from low energy or common illnesses related to their immune system.

• Boosts the immune system, improves metabolism and the appearance of skin and also helps the body eliminates waste. 
• Reduces puffiness caused by water retention, poor circulation or pregnancy 
• Increases lymph flow and eliminates toxins around scar tissue, which stimulates the healing of damaged lymph vessels 

AYURVEDA 

Ayurveda  is a science of daily living where the elements  (Ether-Air-Fire-Water-Earth) are understood to be as important in the  mind and body as they are in the environment.

 Ayurveda, meaning “Science  of Life,” assesses the mind, body and emotions and reads the symptoms  as shown by the elements.

 Ayurveda helps one accept their imbalances and  provides the tools for change, through Nutrition, Remedies and  Treatment.

 The goal is to maintain health and prevent dis-ease.

 In its  history, Ayurveda has spread as far East as Indonesia and West to  ancient Greece.  It was used by the Buddhists and traveled with them as  part of their religion. It is the basis of the medicine of Tibet, India,  Sri Lanka, Burma, and China, and now the Western world.

The  doshas (elements) are the basis of the philosophy of Ayurveda,  paralleling Chinese, Tibetan, and many other disciplines. Each bodily  tissue, channel, organ, and emotion has a predominate element which  denounces its function. When the elements become imbalanced, a symptom  occurs. This allows each individual to understand what a symptom is  trying to tell us. We can choose to be aware of the message and make  changes, or ignore it and allow the imbalance to continue. Ayurveda is a  realistic way to understand and listen to the changes in our bodies and  to make choices about the foods, plants, and applications that are most  appropriate for rebalancing our self. Thus allergies, headaches, pain,  autoimmune problems and such are handled most appropriately and  effectively when the whole body and its symptomatic characteristics are  taken into consideration.
 

According  to Ayurveda there are three primary life forces in the body.  These  life forces are called doshas and are considered to be the supporters of  our body when in a balanced state. The first dosha is VATA and is made up of Ether (empty space) and Air (wind/movement)  elements. Vata is the releasing of air from the body allowing us to rid  ourselves of gaseous waste. The second dosha, PITTA,  is made up of Fire and Water elements.  Pitta takes the form of bile  being excreted from the gut (liver, gall bladder, etc.) and expelled in  our feces. The third dosha, KAPHA, is made up of the Water and Earth elements.  Kapha creates mucous which must be expelled regularly through expectoration or defecation. These  doshas are not a physical nature, but are forces which, when  accumulated in our bodies; cause an effect on us physically because of  the nature of their action.  Since we have these forces which affect us  physically our understanding of the doshas can help us in the practice  of preventative health and can aid

 in following course of disease.
