Lymphatic Therapy

Lymphatic Therapy with the Lymphstar Pro Fusion addresses the understanding of the circulation of lymph from a holistic point of view. The health of your body depends on the health of your cells, which in turn depends on the quality of lymph circulation.

The Lymphstar Pro Fusion is a therapeutic, vibrational massage instrument designed to improve the flow of lymph.
It combines different modalities to optimize the flow of lymph and energy in the body:

•  Physical vibration
• Electro-static field
• Electropressure generated by stimulating various points

The lymphatic system is a complicated network of vessels, ducts and nodes that move fluid between cells and tissues. The lymphatic system produces and distributes immune cells to literally every tissue and organ in the body. It is essentially an additional circulatory system that complements and feeds the blood.

Unlike the blood, the lymph does not have a pump to circulate it throughout the body. If congestion of lymph occurs in certain areas, blockages can form and toxic cellular wastes can build up. Consequences of this congestion can include poor immunity, weight gain, premature aging, and skin problems among others.

Lymphatic congestion can be caused by inactivity, improper diet, infections, injury & surgery, emotional stress, environmental toxins, hormonal imbalance and the normal aging process.

The Lymphstar Pro® – How It’s Used

The Lymphstar Pro® is applied by placing the transmission therapy heads on the skin of the client. The placement sequences, timing, and applications are covered in the product manual and videos. Use of the instrument on the body is followed by lymphatic massage. Or it may be used apart from the massage as a stand-alone therapy for non-bodyworkers. Lymphatic Decongestive Therapy may be helpful for various health challenges as part of a holistic approach to health restoration or maintenance. It is compatible and synergistic with all forms of naturopathic medicine (herbs, nutrition, supplements, colon hydrotherapy), bodywork and structural therapies, bio-energy medicine techniques (homeopathy, polarity, vibrational remedies, electro-dermal, etc.), and under the advice of a physician, medical care. Persons with serious health conditions are encouraged to seek the advice of their personal healthcare practitioner before having lymphatic therapy. There are contra-indications for it.

What The Client Feels

The Lymphstar Pro® provides a relaxing experience . The relaxation lasts for a short time following therapy, followed by an energized feeling. The process of moving toxins out can create some symptoms in the hours following therapy as the lymph flow is increased. These soon subside, with positive effects soon realized over a number of sessions. Sessions are usually 2-4 times a week, from 15 minutes to one hour long. Our seminar providers teach therapy protocols for the many possible uses.
