WHAT IS THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM AND WHY LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE
Did you know the Lymphatic System contains 50% more lymphatic fluid in the body than there is blood, yet this system is ignored or misunderstood by most people. The lymphatic system is a huge and vital part of the immune system. The primary function of the lymphatic system is to transport lymph, a fluid containing infection-fighting white blood cells throughout the body where it is filtered by the lymph nodes to help rid the body of these toxins, waste, and other unwanted materials. The clean lymph fluid then returns to the bloodstream. While the circulatory system has the heart pumping blood through the body, the lymphatic system does not have a pump and instead relies on muscle contraction, movement, and deep breathing to help move the lymph throughout the body. If the lymphatic fluid becomes congested, thick, or sluggish then the fluid cannot move through the body as it is meant to. There are many reasons toxins can accumulate in the lymphatic system and cause congestion. Poor nutrition, dehydration, pollution, constipation, lack of exercise, stress, toxic debris, prescription drugs, surgery, under active thyroid, and electromagnetic radiation such as wireless phones, and computers etc. are just a few and they are all around us. Many people have very congested lymphatics and don't even know it and this congestion can lead to impaired immunity, infections, inflammation, and disease. If the lymph system is clogged and sluggish it prevents the body from circulating vital fluids and eliminating toxic wastes. Electro Lymphatic Drainage helps to decongest and move the stagnant lymph fluid, improving your general health, strengthening your immune system, and increasing your overall energy. It also increases your sense of well-being as it turns off your sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight) and turns on your parasympathetic nervous system (rest and healing) during the session. Even though manual lymph drainage does assist the body in increasing the flow of fluids by a gentle pumping and pushing motion, the distinction between manual and electro Lymphatic therapy is significant. Electro Lymphatic Drainage is up to 8 times more effective than manual lymphatic drainage.
THE EQUIPMENT AND HOW IT WORKS
Electro Lymphatic Therapy is an accelerated method of moving stagnant, sticky lymphatic fluid out of the body. As your Certified Lymphatic Drainage Therapist, I utilize the instrument called INSPIRATION, with a hand-held wand that sends high-frequency electrical pulses into your lymphatic system. It provides radiant light energy, and healing frequencies to break up congestion and activate the lymphatic system. E.L.T. was designed by a medical doctor and a NASA Engineer to enhance the immune system, increase detoxification, and reduce inflammation. INSPIRATION combines the rhythmic pulse of the heartbeat with state-of-the-art high-frequency electro lymphatic technology to achieve effective outcomes in helping the body to detox resulting in supporting a healthy immune system. It promotes the flow of lymph fluid in the body which is key in achieving optimal health. Healthy red blood cells move freely throughout the body. Unhealthy red blood cells have the tendency to stick together which is a contributing factor in the decreased movement of lymph fluid. Stagnant red blood cells create blockages that can affect the circulation of fluids in the body. Electro Lymphatic Therapy (ELT) addresses the root cause, removing these blockages so that the body can heal itself. (Info taken from INSPIRATION manual) By applying INSPIRATION's high frequency, photon energy wand to the surface of the skin, energy currents move through the tissue and knock electrons off cells, falling into body fluids, and creating a negative charge. These cells move into the flow of fluids, moving through the blood and lymph channels. By breaking debris (toxins) into tiny particles and moving the waste through the lymphatic network, the pressure of the lymph is raised, creating an expansion, and improving the pressure between the blood and the lymph. This creates a channel of transportation of nutrients to areas of the body, previously deprived. Oxygen is now able to travel into areas of the body that were closed off. It is a non-invasive and relaxing experience. The equipment simulates the heartbeat pulse of the heart encouraging the body to relax. The vibration of the heartbeat echo's our own core vibration creating a rhythmic harmony. When the ELT wand is applied to the skin, rhythm coming from its energy currents will relieve tension and relax muscles.
Although INSPIRATION does not cure, it assists with problems associated with many chronic conditions. The following are some conditions that might be helped by this therapy:
Swelling, Edema, Inflammation
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Back Problems
Muscles Aches and Pains
Swollen Lymph Nodes
Colon Issues
Scars
Headaches
Asthma and Bronchitis
Cellulite Reduction
Allergies
Sinus Congestion
Fluid Retention-Related Problems
Fibromyalgia
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Lymphedema

About Me:
My name is Marta Jo English. I have a bachelor’s degree from UCSD and have spent my entire life in a customer service role helping people reach their dreams. Sometimes this meant helping them to lose weight (Jenny Craig Supervisor for many years), a manicurist helping beautify hands, feet and nails, or a Real Estate Agent (which I still am) and helping people reach their real estate dreams. I've always been interested in health, but the last two years took a new turn, and I began a true health journey, understanding what health really means and the ability of the body to heal itself if given the opportunity. I became certified as a Bio Electro Lymphatic (Drainage) Therapist and have a true passion for helping people become healthier through a holistic approach. Reach out to me and let’s talk, I'd love to set up an appointment for you.
Let your Light Shine Bright.
