Your lymphatic system isn’t too bad!  

It’s great that you had no painful spots or just a few.  But, you can still benefit from some lymphatic system therapy.  Everyone can!

Let‘s chat a little about the lymphatic system. Did you know that one of the main functions of the lymphatic system is to help get rid of cellular waste products in the body? If waste products can’t get out then nutrients can’t get in to heal our cells.

Did you also know that 1/3 of the lymph nodes in our bodies are located from the neck up?  Thats’s a lot of nodes!

So it’s very important that our lymph is flowing well in order for our bodies to heal.

Below you will find a simple way to help improve your flow! I call it the Daily 7 and it will take you less than 2 minutes to do!

First let’s go over some contraindications for lymphatic work. I will outline some soft and hard contraindications. However, it’s always a good idea to check with your doctor first.  Please see note at the  bottom of this page.

Hard Contraindications:

*Infections

* Acute Inflammation caused by bacteria, viruses, poisons with a fever of 102+

*Blood clots

*Congestive heart failure -untreated

* Renal Failure

*Cancer

Soft Contraindications 

*Medications

*Removed Spleen

*Pregnancy - first trimester

*Kidney diseases

Ok, great! If everything checks out and is ok, let’s get started!

You are going to rub and tap 7 different areas on your body with a moderate pressure.  Not too soft and not too hard - somewhere in the middle.

1. Above and below your collarbones (both sides)

2. Under your earlobes (both sides)

3. Upper chest/arm pit area (both sides)

4. Sternum

5. Abdomen and belly button area

6. Groin crease (both sides)

7. Behind the knees (both sides)

You are going to rub 10 times and then tap 10 times.

After you have completed all 7 areas, I want you to walk around or bounce on the balls of your feet for 20-30 seconds.
