Book Description
A first-of-its-kind guide that outlines and explains the health-promoting properties of lymphatic massage, featuring beautifully illustrated, five-minute self-massage sequences anyone can do at home. Thanks to the astonishing results it provides—glowing skin, a flatter stomach, enhanced immunity, and full-body detox—the practice of manually stimulating the lymphatic system has become one of the most popular wellness practices today. Lymphatic drainage works because the lymphatic system—a complex geography of rivers that snake throughout the body just beneath the surface of the skin—connects every other bodily system. When lymph flows, everything else flows, too. In this first-of-its-kind guide, veteran lymphatic drainage practitioner, educator, and advocate Lisa Levitt Gainsley explains how to maintain lymphatic health, sharing the five-minute self-massage techniques she originally developed for her high-powered Los Angeles clientele. These simple sequences are tailored to address a number of specific and common issues: bloating, headaches, digestive problems, immune health, anxiety, weight loss, acne, inflammation, and more. Whether you just want to look and feel your best or are facing a more serious health issue such as cancer treatment or recovery, The Book of Lymph offers educational and practical instruction to help you cultivate a body free of pain and lethargy, activate a calmer state of being, and boost overall glow—in just five minutes a day.

Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The lymphatic system is a secret river that helps keep you healthy. It is made up of lymph cells and fluid, and it intersects with all the other flow systems in your body. When it works like that, it can do its job to keep you healthy. #2 Interstitial fluid is the fluid between cells that is not technically considered lymph. It enters lymph capillaries, and this fluid goes to larger lymphatic vessels through the lymph nodes. The fluid works by conveying substances that nourish, protect, and coordinate the body. #3 The lymphatic system is a network of vessels that helps pump fluid around the body. It is controlled by pressure from various muscular systems and the nearby pulses of the vascular system, which helps to pump lymphatic fluid around the body. #4 The lymphatic system is the river of health that transports toxins, immune cells, and messages throughout the body. It does this via three main functions: transporting toxins and immune cells throughout the body, transporting larger endogenous amino acids, proteins, and fatty substances from your gastrointestinal system to your liver, and storing immune cells.
