Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
(Back to Top)
What is manual lymphatic drainage ?
Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a therapy, developed by Dr. Vodder, which
uses a gentle massage technique and aims to activate and to regularize the
circulation of the lymph. This lymph flows within the third circulatory system of
the body : the lymphatic system, formed by vessels and lymph nodes. It is an
interstitial liquid, surrounding both the cells and each organ of the body.
MLD cleans the lymph of all accumulated toxic substances, which weaken and
diminish the vital functions of our body, thereby provoking important harm
(oedema, cellular and tissue degeneration…)
How does MLD affect the human body ?
The lymph, a physiological part of our body, brings to the cells the nutrition
they require and eliminates the toxic elements. The MLD will stimulate and
regularize this nutritional exchange between the lymph and the cells of the
body by :
* activating the elimination of the toxins and the accumulated residues
of the interstitial liquid
* activating the distribution of nutritive elements (particularly fats)
within the cells
* increasing the body’s immune defenses by cleaning the lymph nodes of the
accumulated residues, which lessen their natural defense activity.
Manual lymphatic drainage also produces a state of profound relaxation,
therefore serving as an efficient aid in daily life and the stress inherent to it.
