So many people are uncomfortable, struggling and even suffering from swelling, fluid retention and bloating but not everyone’s swelling, bloating, and fluid retention is the same. Everyone is also experiencing something additional happening within the body that is causing a thickening of tissue, organs, and joints that has very little to do with aging. This is when someone changes as the years go by, everything including their head starts to widen, expand and internal organs start to thicken and swell. This metamorphoses happens regardless of gaining extra pounds because of additional fat on the body. Lymphatic drainage is becoming very popular as more and more people including younger people are trying to manage their own swelling problems. But what isn’t known is that it becomes a vicious cycle that never ends because the true core issues and problems creating the swelling, bloating and fluid retention are not being fixed, so constant management therapies such as lymphatic drainage and massage have to be on a regular basis in order to manage and regulate the swelling, but yet the real problems are never solved. This drives people into getting lymphatic drainage for relief and to get manual squeezing to move around fluid and toxins but requires constant body servicing, every week for some people, every day for others or once every two weeks for another. As the lymphatic system and body is being squeezed, most of the toxins end up recirculating right back into a toxic liver, one of the original sources of the swelling problem to begin and since the liver isn’t being properly addressed, the toxins end right back up into the lymphatic system causing the same swelling that leads the person right back at their lymphatic drainage therapists office for another round of squeezing.
