The Lymphatic System is a complex network composed of lymphoid organs, lymph nodes, lymph ducts and lymph vessels that transport fluid (lymph fluid), plasma rich protein and toxins from the body tissues to the circulatory system. The lymphatic system is an important part of the immune system. The lymph nodes act as filters that collect bacteria and viruses which are then destroyed by white blood cells called lymphocytes. There are approximately 500-600 lymph nodes in the human body. Groups of lymph nodes are located in the neck, under the arms, groin, chest and abdomen.
The lymphatic system has no pumping organ to keep the lymph fluid circulating through the body. It is moved by exercise, deep breathing and manual massage. Because of this, the lymphatic system is at high risk for blockage. Blockages can occur from normal stress factors such as illnesses, tight fitting clothing, lack of exercise, bumps, bruises, exposure to heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, food allergies, surgery, and of course, stress. Lymph fluid is supposed to look like skim milk, but when your lymph nodes become congested, the fluid becomes very thick accompanied with toxic build up and appears to be like cottage cheese. Lymph fluid is hard to move from the tissues into the lymph vessels, into the lymph nodes, and out of the body when it is thick and stagnant. This condition can lead to colds, flu, sinus problems, edema, water retention, heart disease, fibrocystic/tender breasts, cellulite, enlarged prostate, cancer and other threatening problems.
Manual lymphatic stimulation was developed in Europe 25 years ago and has been very successful. The XP-2 Electro-Lymphatic machine is a tool designed to increase the effectiveness of manual lymph drainage in less time. The machine emits energetic information via harmonics of sound and frequencies of light to the energy field of your cells. The instrument produces this information
through noble gas ionization. A mixture of xenon, argon, and krypton gases are enclosed in a Pyrex glass tube for optimal results. The gases are electrically excited which then cause an energy field to emit from the glass tube onto your skin, targeting the lymphatic regions. This process breaks up the congested lymph fluid by dissolving it into the milky fluid that it is supposed to be allowing transportation of nutrients to the body and disposal of waste through elimination. This instrument creates results that are ten times more effective than other lymphatic therapies!
The XP-2 is very effective at opening the lymph system, improving fluid flow, and accelerating detoxification of tissues. Benefits include reduction of pain due to lymphatic conditions, prevention of breast and prostate problems, pre and post athletic applications to increase performance, decrease muscle and tendon strain, and the ability to re-route the lymph to drain in an alternate location alleviating lymphedema. Clients also report relaxation, emotional balance, feelings of well-being and an increase in energy. It has been used for cosmetic enhancement by reduction of fluid deposits in the skin supporting cellulite reduction therapies. It helps relieve sinus, allergy and respiratory problems. Most clients notice the benefits immediately. Lymphatic Decongestive Therapy is an excellent tool to promote health and well-being.
