What is Lymphatic Drainage ????

What is bio-electric lymphatic drainage?

Bio-Electric Lymphatic Drainage (BELD) is a type of therapy that uses a light beam generator, which emits a stream of photons (negative ions). BELD is the most recent advancement of this technology-a vibration energy technology. That means it emits energetic information to the energy field of the cells via harmonic sounds, frequencies of light, and Noble Gas Ionization. These are known for their antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. This light beam emits aheartbeat pulsation that when combined with a manual lymphatic drainage massage, helps improve the flow in blood and lymph. Simultaneously,this process loosens waste from cells which assists in the removal of toxins, poisons and trapped proteins, literally cleaning the spaces between cells and allowing waste products and toxins to slowly and safely flow out through normal channels. BELD can be relaxing like a soothing massage, allowing the body to go into the parasympathetic healing mode, allowing the body to access its own healing ability from the autonomic nervous system. It is faster and more complete than manual techniques used alone, allowing the therapist to accomplish in a one and a half-hour session what would take many hours without the vibration energy technology.

What does the lymphatic system do?

It transports approximately 45% of cell waste, moving toxic substances out of the bodythrough the bloodstream andcolon. The lymphatic system handles toxins that enter the body through external sources, such as food or pollution, but also handles internally produced toxins that are a result of normal metabolic processes. The lymphatic system produces lymphocytes, which help defend the body against antigens, distributes immune cells throughout the body,absorbs lipids from the intestine & transports them to the blood.

Why might one need/ benefit from BELD therapy?Lymphatic flow can stagnate orstop for many reasons such as fatigue, stress, emotional shock, lack of physical activity, and/ or certain food additives or poor diet. If lymphatic circulation slows down, the supplying andgeneration of cells is poorly carried out. Consequently, toxins accumulate, hastening the aging process andopening the gates to various health problems. Lymphatic congestion hinders the body’s ability to heal itself due to buildup of toxins/waste. The lymphatic system is interactivewith every organ in your body andis directly related to immune function andefficiency. Our technique is slow, subtle, anduses gentle sweeping movements, mimicking the natural rhythmic pumping of the lymphatic system. The result can enhance recovery rates by loosening proteins that are stagnant, causing retained fluid andcongested areas toflow. Stagnation is reversed, andthe lymph system is now free to perform its normal cleansing functions!

Contraindications:

If your answer is yes to any of the contraindications below, you may not be able to receive BELD treatment

1. If you have found breast lumps, cysts or any other symptoms on the breast or other parts of the body; they should be thoroughly checked by a medical Doctor. If necessary, you may need to have further clinical tests before undergoingBELD treatment. 
2. If you have cancer or you are undergoing treatment for cancer, it is your responsibility to seek advice from your consulting doctor before you can receive BELD treatments.
3. If you are pregnant (unless referred by a consulting Doctor).
4. If you have an electrical implant or pacemaker. 
5. If you have had recent surgery (within the last 4 weeks).
6. If you have had any pins, staples or metal plates anywhere in your body.
7. If you have had any significant trauma recently (auto accident –falls –etc.)

The Session: The client fully undresses and lies on a massage table under a sheet/blanket in a warm room with soft lights. Over the course of the next 1 1/2 hours, the therapist uses a hand-held wand that is lightly moved over the skin, producing a negative energy field, which allows the blood and lymph fluid to circulate freely. The therapist uses a combination of bio-electric lymphatic drainage and manual lymphatic drainage massageto reverse stagnation allowing the lymph systemto perform its normal cleansing functions.

Before your Session:

1. Avoid drinking 1 hour before session for comfort while lying down. (It also helps to empty your bladder.)
2. Avoid irritants like: coffee, soda, sugar, alcohol, etc., the day of the appointment.Afteryour Session:
3. You may feel relaxed for a few hours after the appointment.
4. You might have more volume when urinatingand urinemay possibly have a stronger smell and different color and could be foamy or filmy as the lymph drains first towards the kidney/bladder.
5. It is important to drink more water than normal to assist the cleansing.
6. Avoid lotion/oil, deodorant, perfume, makeup. This prevents the light technique from being blocked to achieve maximum benefits. These skin products could be otherwise absorbed.

How Many Sessions Do You Need?

BELD may be taken every other day to help a congested system. It can also be taken as needed or as desired for immune strength or relaxation. For maximum benefit of a lymphatic cleansing, we recommend Bio-Electric Lymphatic Drainage followed by Ionic DetoxFootbath. These combinations help in better cleansing by first breaking up toxins and then eliminating them from your body
