What Is It?
Developed in Europe in the 1930’s by Dr. Emil and Estrid Vodder, Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD®) is a safe, effective, and gentle approach to cleansing the body’s tissues and has a detoxifying effect.
It can benefit a healthy person as well as be applied to more than 60 different conditions. Scientific studies, as well as vast clinical experience, have supported the effectiveness of MLD®.
Benefits
Clinically demonstrated to be effective, manual lymphatic drainage provides numerous benefits:
- MLD® Removes metabolic wastes, excess water, toxins, bacteria, large protein molecules and foreign substances from the tissues.
- MLD®, through its gentle rhythmical precise hand movements, alleviates pain by greatly reducing the pain signals sent to the brain.
- MLD® releases the sympathetic nervous system, thus helping to relieve stress
- MLD® helps the body to heal more quickly from injuries, surgical trauma, chronic conditions and edema.
- MLD® helps to minimize scar formation
More About Lymphatic Drainage
The Two-Minute Rundown
Your lymphatic system is effectively your body’s drainage canals. Toxins and metabolic waste is flushed out of muscle tissues via the lymph system. In this way, the lymph system plays a vital role in your immune system.
Lymphatic drainage is a gentle process that encourages these channels to drain and clear up, improving health both mentally and physically.
Skepticism is encouraged, especially if you are unfamiliar with lymphatic drainage and are jut now exploring its potential benefits. Don’t worry- its benefits are well supported via clinical studies. Studies have demonstrated its benefits benefits with respect to breast cancer and general well-being. If you’re diving deep and doing your homework, we recommend these studies to start:
