Lymphatic Drainage

The lymphatic system is a network of parallel conduits to the blood system. Through this system, toxins, bacteria and other residues from body tissues and blood, are drained and others which are not absorbed by the drainage of blood and lymphatic vessels.  Through this colleting system, there are small purification centers (lymph) that destroy everything which is harmful.  Once the lymphatic liquid is clear and regenerated, it returns to the vascular system.  In brief, the whole lymphatic system consists of organs, ducts and glands.

The lymphatic system has three functions:

• Immunological: filters and purifies bacteria, abnormal cells, among others.
• Recovery: returns proteins back to the blood
• Fat Carrier: absorbed fat in the small intestine is transported into the blood
• The lymph is a colorless liquid that flows ten (10) times slower than blood.  When the lymph is obstructed, the lymphatic flow becomes stuck or slows down.  It requires an external stimulus to prevent edemas (swelling) and other complications.

Signs of Awareness

• Edemas (swelling) as a result of surgery, post-partum or other degenerative illnesses
• Post plastic surgery
• Edemas as a result of trauma, fractures or sprains
• Dislocations

Anti-Cellulitis

More than 90% of women are affected by cellulite, whether they are thin, overweight or athletic.  Cellulite is located in those areas which have experienced fat built up; buttocks, knees, hips and thighs.  The cause of cellulite is still under scientific investigation.  However, changes of metabolism and physiology may have to do with it.

This treatment starts with a classification of the type of cellulite the patient has.  Then, a decongestant of the lymphatic system is used on the areas where cellulite is more prominent.  Continual movements are used to prevent and effectively treat “cottage cheese” looking skin.

Reaffirming

This treatment enhanced by lotions and products derived from collagen improves skin texture and appearance.  In addition, the use of ice, with active ingredients, reinforces the collagen effect to obtain excellent results.

Wine Therapy

Grapes are high in polyphone, and this substance is found in wine affecting aroma, color and taste.  Researches demonstrate that this substance fights free radicals, which cause 80% of premature aging due to exposure to the sun, smoking, and pollution, among others.

This treatment improves elasticity tones and firms skin.  Moreover, red grapes are high in antioxidants that prevent skin aging while protecting it from free radicals.

Reflexology

Reflexology is a natural and zone therapy in which through special application of pressure in specific points of the feet and hands (podiatrist reflexology), the body’s natural healing process is stimulated, such as stress relief and improvement of blood circulation.  Although it doesn’t replace medical treatment, it can work together with any treatment the patient is receiving.  However, it is not necessary to be in pain to benefit from reflexology.  This treatment is also an alternative preventative medicine.
