Both the Lymph and Circulatory systems cover the entire body and can impede
many of its functions when there are obstructions in the flow of these important
fluids. It is important to keep these fluids moving properly to ensure that nutrients
reach the tissues though the circulatory system and the wastes are carried away
from the tissues through the lymphatic system.
While the circulatory system has the heart to move the blood, the lymph moves by the muscles of the body contracting and the effect of breathing on the lymphatic vessels in the chest. Factors contributing to lymph congestion include injuries, immobility, diet, dehydration, pathogens, inactivity, surgery, stress, hormone imbalances and environmental toxins.
The Electro-Lymphatic Device - How it works
Based on the principals of Quantum Physics, the instrument essentially works by producing an energy field that is applied to the surface of the skin. The energy moves through the tissues breaking up waste stored in the tissues, improving the immune system. The movement of lymph through lymphatic pathways moves the fluid toward the exit the subclavian vein in the chest.
Refrain from wearing any chemicals such as deodorant or makeup. It is important to take a shower before your session. Drinking half your body weight in ounces of water is a good practice for all of us each day.
