Lymph Drainage Techniques


(LDT)


With Acupuncture 

All of the body fluid that ends up between the cells either gets absorbed back into the blood or gets squeezed into the lymphatic system through tiny lymphatic capillaries. 

The proper functioning of the lymphatic system is critical to our body’s ability to drain stagnant fluids, detoxify, regenerate tissues, filter out toxins and foreign substances, and maintain a healthy immune system. 

The LDT process involves the use of gentle manual maneuvers to aid in the recirculation of body fluids. While the exact amount of pressure applied depends on the area and pathology involved, it usually equates to very little pressure.

Using this technique, trained therapists are able to detect the specific rhythm, direction, depth and quality of the lymph flow anywhere in the body. 

The performance of manual lymphatic mapping of the vessels that are often combined with the theory of meridians has become a powerful tool to assess the blockage of qi flowing, areas of stagnation and pains. 

LDT helps calm down body tissue and the nervous system before the needling. 

Both western scientific practice and eastern modalities work together to recirculate body fluids, stimulate the functioning of the immune system, and balance the autonomic nervous system.
