Hot and Cold Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Lymphatic vessels respond to heat and cold by dilating and constricting respectively as does blood vessals. Manual lymphatic drainage moves and directs fluid, proteins and cell waste products from swollen areas to healthy lymphatic vessels, transporting it back to the circulatory system. MLD is a non-massage technique of gentle, light and precise hand movements applied to the skin to increase the activity of lymphatic vessels thereby improving circulation, immunity and cellular health. MLD for body sculpting can work on deeper lymphatic structures. Hot and cold alternating will enhance the magnatude and efficiency of the pumping effect of an MLD treatment.
