3. FAQ'S about Lymphatic Clearing©


What is lymph?
It is the milky fluid - the plasma of blood - that cleanses the body's tissues. It transports wastes, filters out bacteria, and carries the immune response. It gets thicker when imbalance is present.

Why Lymphatic Clearing?
"Water purification" is pumped through the lymphatic pathways and nodes when we exercise, sweat and breathe. When we become sluggish, overall health suffers. Massaging helps fluid move better.

How is the massaging done?
Gentle, rhythmic melting touch and tiny vibrations liquefy the congested areas of the body. With or without oil, the superficial strokes and pulses soften and drain away excess fluid. Repetition mobilizes the natural actions of your waste elimination system.

Who can benefit?
General well-being is sustained by proper lymph function, which increases your resistance to disease. All respiratory, digestive, and sinus imbalances can be dramatically helped. Mucous production is flushed out and reduced. Long term low immune response and restricted vitality can be improved.

When would I use it?
Use it daily, weekly, and especially when you first feel an imbalance. Give yourself and your loved ones a simplified routine to stimulate proper internal organ and immune function. Detox, recover, enhance, fortify, cleanse, and renew on a regular basis!

Do I have to take both the Basics and Advanced Classes?
If you just want to learn for your own health and close friends, you can invest in a 1-4 hour Tutorial (by yourself, with your partner, or with fellow professionals who share paying my fee) and find it immediately useful and dramatically beneficial.

If you would like to become Certified in Basics, you must take 16 hrs. To be Certified in Advanced Techniques, you must complete all 32 hours.
