Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a unique, gentle skin massage technique using very light pressure and soothing, rhythmical strokes to increase the flow of lymph and reduce the build up of toxins in your body. It facilitates the removal of metabolic waste, excess water and bacteria as well as toxins.
It is so gentle you can barely feel it – yet has considerable effect. It is deeply relaxing and helps promote sleep.
In addition, by stimulating the lymphatic circulation it helps reduce swelling in the limbs and increases blood flow.
MLD is effective for anyone with general aches & pains, headache & sinus congestion, skin disorders, digestive disorders, weight issues, de-hydration, stress, anxiety and insomnia.
It can be incorporated as a key element during a detox programme.
At a deeper level it is considered restorative for anyone post-surgery – in particular post-mastectomy – and both before and after long haul flights.
Sessions can last from 30 minutes to an hour depending on which body areas are included. However, we recommend a full body session, especially the first time, to receive the full benefit of this rhythmic and calming experience.
