Cold and Flue Season - How can Lymphatic Drainage help? By increasing your lymphatic circulation, you lessen the chance of bacteria and viruses of having a chance to sit in one area for very long. Reduced lymphatic flow creates a favorable environment for bacteria and viruses to grow/multiply/attack. The drainage treatment also removes any substances that slow down or inhibit proper flow. Because lymphatic drainage increases your immune response, you will have a larger and fresher amount of cells and substances that are ready to fight off bacteria/viruses (colds and flues.) With cold and flu season – treatments usually include the neck, the shoulder, the entire chest/thorax, the face including the nose area, ear area, eye area, sinus areas, the scalp as well as intra-oral (inside the mouth).
I keep having recurring sinus infections – can lymphatic drainage help? Re-occurring infections usually means, among other things, that the body is missing key elements to be able to keep fighting. With each infection, the lymphatic system (especially lymph nodes) is littered with dead cells and other toxic substances. The same prevention of colds/flus applies for re-occurring infections – clearing out the lymphatic system with lymphatic drainage and giving the body an immune boost will help fight off the attack and prevent a reoccurrence. And it not only applies for sinus infections (sinusitis), it also applies for ear infections, throat infections and chest infections. HOWEVER, the most important thing in treatment of reducing/eliminating re-occurring infections - you have to be cleared of the infection first before we can proceed with treatment. It is better to let your body deal with the infection 1st, rather than overloading it. We also have to take precautions for not potentially spreading the infection. The ruling out of infection can be done by your doctor (examination, other tests if needed). If placed on antibiotics, treatment procedure may be able to be changed.
