Breast Health

The breasts are organs of love, support, security, care and nourishment, as well as pleasure. As the breasts are an extension of the heart chakra, many lymphatic therapists have seen breast challenges resolve by cleansing deep seated emotions. Taking care of these female glands is one of the most important things you can do for yourself.

The proper functioning of the lymphatic system is critical to the health of the cell in the breast area. Unlike other parts of the body, breasts are composed of fatty tissue and not muscle. Breast tissue contains an abundance of lymph vessels, but not muscle, which renders it inefficient by nature, for healthy lymphatic drainage. Unlike the circulatory system, which is pumped by the heart, the lymphatic system is stimulated by muscle movement. The breast area, being at the top of the body, can be compromised on the cellular level due to lack of draining of fluids and proper oxygen delivery to the cells.

Lymphatic drainage has been found to be beneficial in improving healthy flow of lymphatic fluids, promoting prevention of conditions of the breast through normal functions of the axillary nodes found under the arm. This filter and purification system of the body is also responsible for delivery of nutrients, oxygen and hormones to the cell bed. It is a crucial player in the body’s ability to stave off disease and heal from injury and surgery by supporting the elimination of excess fluid and stored toxins.

Decongesting stagnant lymph and increasing lymphatic circulation has been found to be beneficial in improving healthy flow of lymphatic fluids, promoting prevention of conditions of the breast through normal functions of the axillary nodes.

Once lymph fluids are flowing properly, this essential component of the immune system can enhance the body’s natural healing abilities.

Breast implants have been in the healthcare market for almost 60 years and have been used by millions of women worldwide. However, we still do not know exactly what kinds of problems they may cause. Autoimmune symptoms present themselves differently in each of us. Lymphatic drainage supports post mastectomy healing, as well as aids in the recovery from breast implant illness and explant surgery.

Lymphatic drainage is a highly effective adjunct therapy that can be used in clearing lymphatic stagnation, addressing inflammation and also in reducing the accumulation of fluid that can occur after lymph nodes are removed during surgery.
