Why does the lymph stagnate or congest so easily?
Unlike the circulatory system, the lymphatic system does not have a heart to pump the toxic wastes carried in the lymph fluid around & out of the body. The flow of lymph is also determined by the amount of still water you drink, exercise, skin brushing – all of which help the lymph to flow better. Using your mobile phone a lot, working with wireless computers, digital cordless phones and having an under active thyroid, leaky gut with certain food intolerances can all contribute to lymph congestion & stagnation.
Why is it so important to improve the flow of lymph?
Just as the blood carries oxygen & important nutrient into the cells, the lymph is responsible for carrying accumulated toxic wastes away from the tissues and out of the body. The lymphatic system is also an important part of the immune system helping to fight infections.
If the lymph or waste disposal part of your body is not fully functioning, naturally the terrain will become more conducive to disease setting in.
In the healing process, all that is required is to encourage the drainage or flow of these toxic wastes out of the body and the body naturally knows best what to do next to realign itself.
What can I do myself to help my lymph to flow better?
Be sure to drink at least 1.5 to 2 litres of good quality still water spread throughout the day, do some regular weight bearing exercise, deep abdominal breathing and avoid certain foods that clog up the lymph including dairy products, bananas, bread and refined carbohydrates, sugar, caffeine & alcohol.
It would also help to dry skin brush daily using a natural bristle brush, stroking upwards on all 4 limbs towards the heart. This helps to stimulate the lymph vessels that lie just beneath the skin to open up & allow the flow of lymph at this surface level.
Is it possible to see, measure or treat lymph congestion?
It is possible to see lymph congestion using Digital Infrared Thermal Imaging especially in the upper chest & breast region.
It is possible to measure the function & state of the lymphatic system using the Bio Meridian screening.
It is possible to treat lymph congestion with basic diet & lifestyle changes as well as having one or more Electro Lymphatic treatments, correcting a leaky gut, having specifically chosen drainage homeopathic remedies that help the lymph to drain its toxic wastes at a cellular level and correcting an under active thyroid function when that is detected.
What is so special about the ELT treatments?
The Electro Lymphatic Treatment (ELT) is a totally safe treatment based on a device that uses the principles of quantum physics to create a beam of negatively charged ions from a mixture of inert gases, which when applied to the breast tissue and key lymphatic areas, causes instant dispersal of underlying congested fluids consisting of an accumulation of toxic tissue waste within a stagnant lymphatic system.
Like taking the plug out of a bath full of dirty water allows the water to naturally flow down its drainage route, so does an ELT session instantly disperse an area of lymph congestion allowing its natural flow around & out of the body to happen naturally & easily without any pain or invasive procedure.
How much does an ELT session cost?
A 20 minute upper body ELT session costs £80 and a full body 40 minute session costs £150
How many ELT sessions will I require?
Initially only one session is required to kick start the flow of the lymph. Most people find instant relief of swelling, fluid retention or breast tenderness after one session and come back for more treatments at regular intervals as required.
Are there any contra-indications for having an ELT session?
The only contra-indication to having an ELT session is if you have an electrical device such as a pacemaker fitted, if you are pregnant or terminally ill or on a lot of medications with a high toxic load.
If you are unsure about your suitability for having an ELT session then do not hesitate to speak with one of our clinic practitioners.
What do I need to do before & after an ELT session?
It helps to already be used to drinking at least 1.5 litres of good quality still water spread evenly throughout the day.
It also helps if you eat healthily, exercise regularly & avoid drinking caffeine & alcohol both of which dehydrate your system and clogs up the lymph.
Will I notice an improvement straight away?
Most people notice an instant improvement in that their fluid retention is markedly diminished or any areas of tenderness in the upper chest & breast region disappear.
Are there any adverse effects from having an ELT session?
Occasionally, when people have a very high toxic load on their system and the drainage routes are not fully functioning, they can feel slightly worse after their ELT session or experience discomfort during their session. This feeling normally subsides within 24 hours, and is not harmful. Drinking plenty of still water before and after treatment to assist elimination, minimizes the likelihood of an adverse reaction
In these instances, it is recommended to check your toxic load using the Bio Meridian system first to encourage drainage of these toxins as well as heal a leaky gut, as this only puts the lymph under more pressure.
How would I know if there is a practitioner near me offering ELT treatments?
We have a list of practitioners who have been trained in using this ELT device. Please contact us to ask who your nearest practitioner is.
How can I tell if my lymph is congested?
Congested lymph is an unnatural state whereby the body is holding on to its toxic wastes. Any blockage in flow of important body fluids can result in symptoms of pain, tender lumps, cysts, fluid retention, digestive symptoms as well as chronic fatigue.
Apart from having the ELT treatments, what else can be done for the lymph?
It always helps to be drinking 1 - 2 litres of good quality still water spread evenly throughout the day as well as reducing your intake of caffeine & alcohol, bread, dairy and refined carbohydrates.
Beyond that it helps to dry skin brush, exercise, reduce your toxic load using specifically chosen lymph drainage remedies, heal a leaky gut and correct any thyroid imbalances which should be done under supervised guidance from a medical practitioner.
How is ELT different from manual lymphatic drainage or lymph massage?
ELT, using quantum physics generates an energy field where the quanta scatter electrons through the tissue in order to give a negative charge to the fluids of the body instantly kick starting the flow of lymph (like taking a plug out of a bath full of dirty water).
Thereafter, together with the help of drinking clean good quality water, it is helpful to have manual lymphatic drainage or lymphatic massage as the lymph channels have been unblocked & with the lymph flowing more freely, makes the massage treatments more effective.
We therefore recommend that you have a couple of ELT sessions first to get the most out of your massage or manual lymphatic drainage treatments.
