Lymphatic Drainage and Toxins
By keeping the main lymph nodes clear, the body’s barriers are strengthened against antigens and allergens from the external environment. The removal of excess toxins also allows all the tissues of the face, cervical area, and upper back to eliminate what causes irritation and pain, promoting oxygenation and microcirculation within the tissues. Freeing the tissues from excess interstitial fluid leads to an effective acceleration of filtration and reabsorption processes at the capillary blood level.Lymphatic System and Massage
The lymphatic system works to eliminate waste substances that the body no longer needs and that stagnate in the interstitial spaces, while at the same time allowing useful substances to be recirculated and redirected to the proper areas of the body where they can be functional.
The result of this process is an immediate analgesic and anti-edema effect that brings a profound sense of well-being and relaxation involving both mind and body. The neck, shoulders, and jaw loosen, tensions dissolve, and there is a sensation of lightness in the head. The slow, rhythmic movements help restore connection with a calmer, more balanced internal rhythm, counteracting stress and promoting better quality physiological sleep thanks to their sedative effect. This is due to the fact that the lymphatic system works more effectively when the nervous system is at rest, which is why one direct consequence of this treatment is the slowing down and rebalancing of the nervous system itself.
It is well known that stress releases hormones that can be toxic to the human body.
In the initial “alarm” phase, mainly adrenaline and noradrenaline are released. Later, cortisol and cortisone intervene. If these are produced in excessive amounts, they indicate a state of chronic stress that inevitably wears down various structures of the body. Specifically, under these imbalanced conditions, these hormones cause significant alterations to the immune system, making the body more susceptible to developing potentially severe pathologies over time.
From this, it is clear how important a therapy such as lymphatic drainage—and in our specific case, facial lymphatic drainage—can be in helping an individual slow down and restore a healthy psychophysical balance in the context of well-being and prevention.
