A short, but not all inclusive list of the benefits of ALT
The Role of the Lymphatic System
The Lymphatic System plays a vital role in the body’s immunity. Its complex network of fluid-filled vessels continuously bathes cells and carries away the body’s “sewage” – toxins, metabolic waste products, globules of fat, excess liquid – to the lymph nodes. The lymph nodes are the body’s filters trapping and neutralizing these harmful substances
What is Lymph?
The body contains 3x more lymph fluid than blood. While the circulatory system has heart to keep the blood moving, lymph fluid must be pumped by the movement of muscles. The less we move our bodies, the more stagnant the lymph system becomes.
Why is Congestion a Problem?
When lymph fails to function properly and the collecting terminals become blocked, it forms a bottleneck. The lymph starts backing up creating a toxic, oxygen deprived environment conducive to degeneration and disorder. Clear lymph fluid becomes sluggish/stagnant changing from water like to milk/yogurt/cottage cheese. Thickened, gel-like stagnant lymph overloaded with toxic waste is the ideal environment for the onset of numerous conditions ranging from chronic inflammation to cancer.
How Does Lymph Get Congested?
Stagnation and congestion of the lymphatic system can occur for many reasons including: * Lack of physical activity * Emotional stress/trauma * Poor diet * Hormone imbalance * Exposure to environmental and other toxins * Excessive weight * Tight undergarments and underwire bras * Aging body * Damage or removal of the lymph nodes
What is Assisted Lymphatic Therapy (ALT)?
The Lymph Drainage XP2’s state of the art technology uses specific high frequencies of electricity and sound to beak down congested lymph. Because body fluids are conductors of electricity, the lymph fluid is effortlessly moved through the lymphatic pathways. Each 75 min session with the XP2 has the equivalent effect of 8-10 manual lymphatic massages, and the client is left feeling calm and rejuvenated while cleansing and detoxifying the lymphatic system.
Lymphatic congestion and toxicity reduce the electrostatic field of the proteins in the interstitial fluids, and contribute to the thickening and clumping of the lymph. Breaking down the congested lymph fluid is painlessly achieved using the Lymph Drainage XP2.
Benefits of ALT
* Reduces edema (swelling) and lymphedema of many origins. * Assist with weight loss and reduces cellulite tissue. * Supports post mastectomy health. * Regenerates tissue, pre and post surgical scars, stretch marks, and wrinkles especially on the face. * Supports preventative health maintenance. * Relieves discomfort from fibrocystic breasts. * Relieves chronic joint and muscle pain.
Great for post cosmetic surgery, post chemotherapy and post radiation therapy. Also a good overall detox for the body.
