The role of the lymphatic system
La lymph is a colorless liquid whose composition is very close to that of blood plasma. It circulates in a complex network of vessels and lymph nodes distributed throughout the body: it is the lymphatic system.
Its function is essential:
- Drain excess fluids interstitials.
- Eliminate toxins, cellular waste and pathogens.
- Ensure the transport of certain nutrients and hormones.
- Actively participate in immune defenses, thanks to white blood cells and lymph nodes which act as filters.
Unlike the blood system, the lymphatic system does not have no pump to activate its circulation. Its flow is very slow (around 100 mL/h at rest), which makes it particularly vulnerable to imbalances: sedentary lifestyle, stress, unbalanced diet, insufficient hydration, etc.
Un slowing of lymph can cause many aesthetic or functional problems:
cellulite, water retention, edema, heavy legs, acne, stretch marks, varicose veins, weight gain, premature skin aging...
Lymphatic drainage: stimulate to relaunch
Le manual lymphatic drainage helps support and relaunch this often congested system. By stimulating the lymphatic vessels and nodes, massage promotes the elimination of toxins, the reduction of swelling, better oxygenation of tissues, and a visibly slimmer silhouette.
