With structure leading the function, it is clear to understand why internal draining of the lymph system is important. Fluid is around every cell as interstitial fluid. The lymph system has no pump rather it is a vacuum. Therefore, when there is congestion in one area there will be congestion throughout the entire system. It is very important to keep this system manually drained regularly for maintenance. We do live in a very toxic external environment; therefore, it stands to reason the internal environment is equally as toxic if we aren’t making effort to alter that. Also realize that internally cell action creates byproducts. Keeping a clear, well-functioning lymph system is important. Infection will be found in the lymph system. Imagine these toxins going around and around the body. This could be in part why there are systemic conditions that no one can figure out, a label is attached, and 'standard' treatment is usually more toxins sold as cures.

Structure Alignment:
Bones, Ligaments, Tendons, Muscles
Now we move into the overall structure of the body. Seeing this little chipmunk, we can see the sturdy legs positioned as firm foundational pillars of the structure. The ‘pillars’ or bones of structure with this chipmunk are designed for a bowing of the spine as his environment is one needing this design. The chipmunk’s structural alignment is designed for this ‘role’ in life. The upper body curves forward with a tail that balances the forward lean. His spine is a strong bowed ‘pole’ that holds the soft structures on the anterior side containing the organs and allowing his arms to have a good range of motion for his needs. His neck and head are well positioned without strain and with range of movement necessary. Overall, this little guy is in an alignment. The joints will not wear out or pull on muscles in ways to strain attaching structures. Posture, alignment of the body is as important as the studs in a wall or the beams on a bridge. Without alignment, the function will fail to a degree.
There has been a big agenda that has taken humanity to a place of physical, emotional, and mental imbalance. The state that humanity finds itself in are challenging situations due to toxicities and deficiencies that manufacturing companies of food, lotions, cleaning products, yard products, packaging, etc., have not considered as being harmful or damaging on humans, or they don't care because profit matters more than quality and safety. This has been going on for such a long time the damage done to us all is almost irreparable.
Many people are unaware of the dangers of what we consume. Most are trusting and unaware that many companies cannot be trusted. Massive networks of corporate controlled companies have so much influence on producing products overlooking the dangerous additives leading to a huge key to our ill-health. We’re told the FDA is to monitor products and food in the marketplace for our safety. What the FDA functions as is a Watch Dog for anything that is going to expose practices that cause harm. In other words, anything that will move the market toward an alternative direction is brushed under the rug and spoken of as 'foolish', 'snake oil' or anything that would drive people away from investigating the alternative ways. As a result of the negligence of these companies, and protections under the ‘authority’ of the FDA, many people are now challenged with health issues needing constant attention. And that leads to another nest of snakes.
We have been conditioned that we can only go to a community of people who are legally sanctioned to be the overseers of our health. This is known as the AMA and the western medical community. This organization has been severely compromised. It's a Rothschild controlled organization who oversees the training of medical people. There is little to no training in simple nutrients, rather training in looking for symptoms, matching it to a label then selling drugs at a hefty cost. This method pretty much guarantees there is little if any hope of getting away from these toxic medications. These medications often work to inflame the condition. Then other systems or organs are affected. These medications, (in most cases), are known to encourage more damage to the body and create the conditions being treated. I say this not to give you a sense of defeat, rather to urge you to put away the old ‘ways’ of approaching discomfort and to bring to you a deeper understanding. (Western medicine has its place; however, it is not in the treatment of dis-ease.)
Deeper understanding about healing and the body is very important. Not only learning about the dark side of medicine and health, a deeper understanding of the construct of the system that has created much chaos throughout the ages is also something needing to be understood. If you are being drawn in some way to the journey of healing, realize the importance that healing is a journey and not an overnight fix. Nor is it easy because it requires shifting the way things are done and changes in the lifestyle to some degree.
Yes, healing is a journey. It has hills and valleys, days of seeing progress and days when it seems like nothing is happening. The body wants to heal. The body wants to be whole (holy). The mind will often create discouragement. Give it time. The dis-ease pattern did not happen overnight and there is no one who can fix it quickly. To heal it takes dedication, loyalty to the cause, and time. Just enjoy the journey. Grow, learn, and come back to what the body is intended to be. A functioning vehicle.
The following is an outline of what I see as a bodyworker for over 30 years of practice. These are steps of foundational work. This is the foundation to step into many directions of help. A foundation is important for all other treatments to be more effective and efficient. Otherwise it is just a lot of band aid and take this pill solutions. Health is for life. It is not a switch on and off. It is staying focused and giving grace to slip or slide as long the path is resumed quickly. Most of all it is work, and the attitude we have about it will determine if it will be easy or difficult, enjoyable or drudgery.

What is Lymphatic Drainage?
Welcome to the ‘Liquid Environment of the Human System’.
We need water to exist. In fact, the very gasses we breathe transport into fluid and communicate throughout the cells which are surrounded by fluid. Fluid we call 'lymph' is inside of vessels and flows through nodes. There is interstitial fluid that is outside of the lymph system.
Working the lymphatic system is moving fluid through the vessels by activating the peristalsis of the lymph vessels so the lymph can move in a wave like motion carrying toxins and remove them from the body. Lymphatic drainage works in this water system with intent to integrate this dimension of function.
When we feel 'congested' or 'bloated' there is possibility that the lymph system is overloaded, the fluid backs up. As fluid flow slows down the liquid becomes more thick and gelatinous. This will compromise the the immune system and restricts the ability for the cells of that system to find pathogens to remove from the body.
Water is responsible for a great part of body weight estimated at about 60% or about 40 liters. (1 liter = 1.052 quarts) This, of course, changes for various bodies, age, and gender. Obese people often have lower total body water contend as fat mass does not contain much water. 40 liters of body water has two areas where the fluid is found. Intracellular and extracellular.
There is quite a lot to know about the lymphatic system which becomes quite involved. I am an on hands therapist and much of the chemistry involved is known in a very simple manner. Basically, the technique to perform lymphatic drainage is done with very light pressure. A skin stretching technique toward the cluster of nodes located at the ‘dump’ stations of the four quadrants of the body. The fluid needs to be directed toward the appropriate quadrants. Trained hands can detect rhythm, direction, depth and quality of the lymph flow throughout the body. Where there are stagnant areas the lymph can be redirected to flow out of the congested area. This is also very good work to do when one feels bloated or sluggish, congested or low energy and tired.
Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage Therapy (LDT).
​
The nature of the lymphatic system often needs help from manual draining. It helps recirculate body fluids, stimulate function of the immune system, balances autonomic nervous system. As these systems are helped it can accompany assistance to the following conditions:
​
-
Reduces edemas and lymph-edemas of organs
-
Relieves chronic and subcutaneous inflammation such as acne, eczema, and allergies
-
Immune system is stimulated.
-
LDT helps regeneration of tissues from burns, post-surgical scarring.
-
Detoxification of the body which is an important modality to do while detoxing the body.
-
Relief of chronic pain to some degree.
-
Creates deep relaxation that aids insomnia, depression, stress, loss of vitality or memory
-
There is an anti-spastic action that can relieve conditions such as voluntary or involuntary muscle hyper tonus.
-
Reduces symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia
-
Helps alleviate adipose and cellulite tissue.
