Aromatherapy is a relaxing and healing massage using essential oils. This system of massage is used to promote general relaxation, calms the mind, improve circulation, increase lymph drainage, and relieve muscle tension.

 

 

Lymphatic massage

Because the lymphatic system has no pump, its functions are dependent upon muscle contractions, diaphragmatic breathing, and body movement.  It is common to develop a sluggish lymphatic flow. Some causes of this include inactivity, consuming the wrong foods and drinks, and not drinking enough water.littleescapesdayspa geelong lymphatic massage therapy

Lymphatic massage is a massage technique that is designed to stimulate the lymph’s circulation in order to speed up the removal of waste from the body.  It is helpful for the nervous system as it reduces sympathetic nervous activity, allows para-sympathetic activity, stimulates the defenses of the immune system, and increases the flow and volume of the lymph fluid.  The technique involves the use of gentle, rhythmic strokes and pumping movements towards the direction of the lymph nodes on the body.

Lymphatic massage is helpful for scars, stress, cellulite, stretch marks, detoxification, chronic fatigue, weight problems, arthritis, neurological disorders, pregnancy, pain, and overall wellbeing.
