Lymphatic drainage works on a multidimensional level

Lymphatic drainage works on a multidimensional level, influencing the immune, circulatory, hormonal, digestive and nervous systems.

If we think of the nervous system as being a key component for influencing the rest of the body, a real or perceived threat sends signals to the brain, via the vagus nerve, letting us know that we need to act or behave in a particular way to overcome the challenge we are faced with.

The brain, in turn, communicates the need to mobilise by sending signals to the hormonal system, excreting adrenaline and cortisol throughout the body, with long term cortisol creating an inflammatory response in the body.

When we are in survival mode over a prolonged period of time, the digestive and immune system functions are not seen as being critical to ensuring our survival, so their roles can be compromised.

Given that Lymphatic Drainage physically engages the vagus nerve in a safe and gentle way, people often experience a deep sense of relaxation.

Digestive function comes back online, coupled by boosting one's immune system and the interruption of a survival response, restoring a level of wellbeing in the mind and body.
