Lymphatic Cupping

The lymphatic system drains excess fluid and toxins that accumulate in tissues and organs. It transports water, proteins, lipids, white blood cells, hormones, nutrients, and waste into the blood stream. A healthy lymphatic system equates to a healthy immune system. On the other hand, a deficient lymphatic circulation may weaken and intoxicate the body, creating various health issues such as poor recovery from plastic surgery, poor breast health, swelling, weight gain, skin problems, premature aging, pain, etc. With a succession of gentle, rhythmic, and pumping movements, lymphatic drainage facilitates cleansing, detoxification, decongestion, and improves tissue health.

Lymphatic Drainage and cupping for Post Cosmetic Surgery are essential to remove excess fluid and retrain the lymphatic system to remove the intercellular fluid. One of the most beneficial applications of cupping is for preparation and recovery from surgical procedures, releasing restrictions in fascia and scar tissue. A very light suction provides drainage of excess fluid from surgical procedures, while heavier application can be used to stimulate circulation, liquefy deposits of excess fatty proteins and loosen adhesions or “dimpling.”

Cupping after-care

Give your lymphatic system the extra fluids it needs to flush your body of the toxins. Don’t shower immediately after cupping.
 
 

Recommendations

Hot and Cold Showers
The hot water helps dilate the blood vessels, while the cold water shrivels them. This creates a “pump” action that forces out the toxic fluids that have remained in the body.
 
Use Dry Brushing
Brush your dry skin in a circular motion for 10 minutes by using a natural bristle brush, and then take a shower. You can combine dry brushing with hot and cold showers for better effects.
 
 Drink Clean Water
It is advisable to drink up to half your body weight in ounces of water per day to further cleanse your system of toxins. (For example, if you are 160 lbs. = 80 ounces of water). You should also drink a few glasses of lemon water as well.
 
 Avoid Wearing Tight Clothes
By wearing excessively tight clothing, you are reducing circulation in the lymphatic system. Tight clothing can cause blockages in the lymphatic system, which can lead to an accumulation of toxins.
 
Breathe Deeply
Our bodies have 3 times more lymph fluid than blood, but there is no organ to pump it. The pumping action of deep breathing will help the lymphatic system transport the toxins into the blood before they are detoxified by the liver.
