Visceral Massage and Lymphatic drainage

How does Visceral Massage influence lymphatic flow?

Visceral massage positively influences lymphatic flow through several mechanisms:

1. Stimulates Lymphatic Drainage

  • The lymphatic system relies on body movement and external pressures to facilitate the flow of lymph, as it lacks its own pumping mechanism.
  • Visceral massage can enhance lymph movement in the abdominal cavity where many lymphatic vessels and nodes are located.

2. Reduces Congestion

  • Visceral massage can reduce fluid buildup and release adhesions or restrictions around the organs, improving lymph circulation and overall detoxification.

3. Improves Organ Function

  • The lymphatic system plays a role in maintaining immune responses and removing waste products. By improving blood flow and lymphatic drainage around the organs, visceral massage can help organs like the liver and intestines function more effectively in detoxifying the body and processing nutrients.

4. Enhances Abdominal Movement

  • Gentle visceral massage promotes better movement of the abdominal muscles and fascia, indirectly stimulating the lymphatic vessels and supporting fluid movement.

5. Reduces Inflammation

  • Lymphatic flow helps clear inflammatory byproducts. By increasing lymphatic circulation, visceral massage can assist in resolving inflammation in the abdominal cavity and surrounding areas.

This technique is often used in conjunction with other therapies to promote overall health and well-being.

Consider:

  • Stagnant is not healthy.
  • Every cell in the human body requires moisture.
  • That moisture is constantly being refreshed, recycled, and replaced.
  • The Lymphatic, Digestive, and Visceral systems are essential to that process.
  • All therapies strive to help stagnant things move.

Taum teaches you why, what, and how.

This class focuses on supporting healthy movement within the Lymphatic, Digestive, and Visceral systems.

This information is unique to The Berry Method® of Lymphatic Massage.


 

While western medicine recently 'discovered' the importance of our lymphatic and digestive systems, eastern medicine appears to have been recognizing and working with these 'Core' systems for centuries.

The lymphatic and digestive systems' participation in 'wellness' can often appear poorly understood when considered via the Western approach.

Lauren's approach and protocols for balancing the viscera help fill in some of those gaps.

This unique class focuses on the abdomen and uses no oil.
