There are a
number of easy and effective ways to promote lymphatic flow
including dry body brushing, massage, vigorous exercise, hydration
and muscular activity (weights, yoga, tai chi or Pilates).
Dry body
brushing in particular is a great way to stimulate lymphatic and
circulatory flow as it stimulates the dense network of nerves that
run just under the skin layer, which in-turn increase blood
circulation and the function of the lymphatic system.
Another method
suggested by Bodecare is alternate cold and hot showers. See method
below:
Did you know that a prolonged hot shower without alternation with
cool water (the type of shower most people take) is fatiguing and
causes circulatory congestion? When performed Alternate Hot & Cold
showers properly, this technique stimulates the nerves, endocrine
glands, circulatory system and skin.
For best results
of an Alternate Hot/Cold Shower you can use the following steps as a
guide:
Firstly conduct a Dry Body Brushing routine: begin warm to hot
shower for 2-3 minutes (water should be at a comfortable
temperature). Follow with a cold shower for 15 seconds. Once again
water should be at a comfortable temperature. Each 15 seconds repeat
with hot and cold shower. To finish towel dry.
