Lymph Drainage Therapy (LDT)
Lymph Drainage Therapy (LDT) uses flat hands to simulate gentle, specific wave-like movements. These subtle manual maneuvers activate lymph and interstitial fluid circulation as well as stimulate the functioning of the immune and parasympathetic nervous systems. It is shown that when these actions are accomplished, the results can be:
- Reduction in edemas (swelling) and lymphedemas of various origins
- Detoxification of the body
- Regeneration of tissue, including burns, wounds and wrinkles
- Anti-aging effects
- Relief of numerous chronic and subacute inflammations, including sinusitis, bronchitis and otitis
- Relief of chronic pain
- Reduction in the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia
- Antispastic actions to relieve conditions such as muscle hypertonus and some forms of constipation
- Deep relaxation to aid insomnia, stress, loss of vitality and loss of memory
Lymph Drainage Therapy (LDT) developed by Bruno Chikly, MD, of France, enables practitioners to detect, map, and reroute the direction of the lymph flow anywhere in the body. This is very effective and essential post surgery, burns, acute injuries, or removal of lymph nodes.
