Your moment of bliss details...

Restore your body's natural lymph flow and bring your body back into balance. The lymphatic system plays a key role in eliminating toxins from the body through a liquid known as lymph. Lymph is usually absorbed more quickly than it can be eliminated, which can result in the accumulation of fluids between the cells and tissues resulting in retention and swelling. The purpose of lymph drainage is to remove fluid from your tissues and into the lymph nodes where bacteria, viruses and other harmful micro-organisms are destroyed. It reduces swelling, pain and stimulates your immune system by increasing the circulation of white blood cells. What is lymph? Lymph is a fluid that contains a variety of substances. White blood cells, waste material and fats from the digestive system, proteins, salts, glucose, water and interstitial fluid but unlike your blood, lymph does not usually contain red blood cells. Lymph fluid cleans the body, fighting illness and regulating many processes.
