Lymph movement - an important elementmetabolism:nStAsubstance cleans Cells and fabrics, and also plays an important role in creating immunity. No wonder the word "lymph" itself comes from Latin "pure water".

There is no special organ (like a heart in a circulatory system), which pumps lymph in the body - it moves due to the contraction of the muscles. The lymphatic system consists of vascular vessels and nodes that serve as natural filters for lymphotok. That is why they are inflicted to inflame when we feel bad, and the immunity is lowered, harmful substances accumulate. The massage of lymph nodes as an element of a general lymphatic massage is one of the ways to normalize the circulation of lymphs and maintain our body in a state of complete combat readiness.

Lymph moves from the periphery of the body to the center, which determines the very lymphatic massage system itself. It is always started to do with legs and hands and only then go to the case. The lymphatic massage is performed slowly and gently, with the help of strokes from the limbs to the body and weak pressure on the lymph nodes. Often, fragrant oils are used for easier hands, which also allow you to make a massage session even more relaxing.

Initially lymphatic (or, as it is often called, the lymphatic price) massage was exclusively a medical procedure used to remove postoperative edema. Over time, it began to use it in cosmetology, since the effect of massage on the lymphatic system leads to results that do not make themselves wait and quickly manifest themselves - your silhouette becomes noticeable thinner. The metabolism is accelerated, blood and lymph moves along the body faster, therefore, the decay products are faster, and this is improved well-being and appearance.

The Lymph current is accelerated by creating a vacuum, under a press or under the influence of electrical pulses. Such reinforced lymphatic drainage is used to get rid of cellulite, excess weight, giving the body of the right contours. As a rule, it is carried out in several sessions.

Later this book was transferred to many languages, and one of the secrets of the disadvantageous beauty of Japanese women ceased to be a secret. It is worth spending a little of its time and learn the techniques of the Japanese massage, and then keep youth at the cost of just 5-10 minutes a day.
