Manual and Air Press Lymphatic Drainage.The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy fluid balance in the body. Lymphocytes and other antibodies within the lymphatic fluid defend the body from disease. Lymphatic fluid circulates to cleanse and nourish body tissues. The lymphatic system is a network of tiny vessels that merge to form larger vessels that connect to over 700 small filtering stations called lymph nodes. Lymph nodes vary in size and are grouped into clusters in various parts of the body. The lymph system eliminates waste from body tissues. This includes excess water, proteins, alien viruses and bacteria, dead cells, minerals and fat molecules. These substances are partially neutralized in the lymph nodes. The lymphatic fluid is returned to the blood stream by way of the subclavian veins at the base of the neck. This cleansing is a continual one. An ongoing flow of lymphatic fluid promotes good health, but when a person neglects the basics of good health - exercise, rest and proper diet - the body becomes stressed and the lymphatic system is burdened. This causes toxins and plasma to accumulate, interfering with cell nourishment. The immune system becomes depressed and the body's vulnerability to disease increases. Pressotherapy (Body Styler, Slide Styler, Lymfoven). Pressotherapy is applied through the use of special boots that go from the waist to the ankles, which exert an ascending and descending pressure throughout the extremities. With a smooth pumping, lymphatic drainage is stimulated and releases toxins which also improves blood circulation. For this reason, Pressotherapy is recommended especially to those who suffer from "heavy legs" or have general circulatory problems.
