LMT as a detox therapy increases the flow of lymphatic fluid and encourages the elimination of metabolic and environmental toxins from the body through waste elimination. LMT is done as a full body therapy, from the head down, or as a head and neck therapy to release fluids from the sinuses and head into the circulatory system. LMT as a wellness therapy is usually used after the loss of lymph nodes due to surgery, injury, or radiation. This therapy redirects lymph away from the affected node area to an unaffected area of the body. It is used to encourage excess fluids out of the affected limb and back into the circulatory system for elimination. Reccomended for every change of season to improve body detox.
