Lymph is a bodily fluid that picks up debris in the body such as Cell Fragments, Bacteria, Viruses, Cancer Cells, Tattoo Ink, and other large particles that cannot be absorbed by blood capillaries.

The Lymphatic System can be considered the Waste Management of the body. It is found almost everywhere in the body and, when healthy, flows through various pathways to break down and destroy the materials is carries and be reabsorbed in the to blood to help maintain blood volume.

It is VERY important to hydrate 2-3 days leading up to Lymph Drainage. We recommend a protein snack about 45 minutes prior to treatment, and another protein snack within 45 minutes of completing treatment.

Treatments can take from 1-2 hours depending on the approach (manual or cups).

If you are not properly hydrated or are physically not prepared for treatment, it is at the providers discretion to refuse care.
