Lymph Drainage

What is lymph? (This simple description of Lymph and it's importance comes from cliffsnotes.com

The fluid called lymph is part of the lymphatic system, together with lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, the thymus, and the spleen. This system is a crucial support to the immune system and also supplements the cardiovascular system by helping to remove toxins from the body. The lymphatic system works in the following ways:

• The lymphatic system collects excess fluids and plasma proteins from surrounding tissues and returns them to the blood circulation. Within lymphatic vessels, this collected material forms a usually colorless fluid called lymph, which is transported to the neck, where it empties into the circulatory system.
• The lymphatic system absorbs lipids and fat-soluble materials from the digestive tract.
• The lymphatic system filters the lymph by destroying pathogens, inactivating toxins, and removing particulate matter. Lymph nodes, small bodies interspersed along lymphatic vessels, act as cleaning filters and as immune response centers that defend against infection.

The movement of lymph through lymphatic vessels is slow (3 liters/day) compared to blood flow (about 5 liters/minute). Lymph does not circulate like blood, but moves in one direction from its collection in tissues to its return in the blood. There are no lymphatic pumps. Instead, lymph, much like blood in veins, is propelled forward by action of the nearby skeletal muscles, the expansion and contraction of the lungs, and the contraction of the smooth muscle fibers in the walls of the lymphatic vessels. Valves in the lymphatic vessels prevent the backward movement of lymph.

Lymphatic massage rejuvenates the white blood cells; stimulates such glands as the liver, pancreas, etc.; improves digestion, cleanses the kidneys, urethras and joints; increases immunity; and helps the body fight disease. 

Lymph Drainage with the Lymphstar Pro

The Lymphstar Pro is a vibrational energy technology. As such it emits "information" to the energy field of the cells via harmonics of sound and frequencies of light. It produces this information by way of something called "noble gas ionization." There is a long tradition of research into the energetic effects of these noble gases. An optimal mixture of xenon, argon, and krypton is enclosed in Pyrex glass tube. The gases are excited by electrical current. An energy field, or plasma, then radiates from the tube onto the skin and is conducted through the entire bio-energy system. Proteins are re-polarized causing retained fluid and congested areas to FLOW. Stagnation is reversed and the lymph system is now free to perform its cleansing functions!

Naturopaths

"I have not found a better tool to move the deep lymphatics than the Lymphstar Pro. Why work the surface? Let's go deep & get the job done!"

Lymphatic Therapists

"I am using the Lymphstar Pro in my practice and highly recommend it because it is the fastest and most reliable instrument for the relief of lymph based disorders."
Allen Mills, Center for Lymphatic Health
Santa Barbara, CA

"I have had two clients now with the shingles who have been helped very much with the Lymphstar therapy. One was resolved in about 4 days, and the nurse at her doctor’s office remarked that her recovery was very surprising to her. It appears to shorten the duration of the illness greatly, to the great relief of the sufferers!"

"I have been using the Lymphstar from Arcturus Star Products in my practice as a physical therapist since the inception of the Lymphstar. The primary benefit is reduction of inflammation via resorption into the lymph system. It makes it possible to do this without the administration of anti-inflammatory drugs that tend to be catabolic in action. I have found that lymphatic resorption of fluid and trapped proteins from an injury site and/or site of surgery assisted by the Lymphstar, stimulates a much quicker and more normal healing response as fibroblasts form more normal connective tissue without adhesions or capsules of fibroblasts at the incision site. The Lymphstar has been used extensively in Lymphatic Therapy and enhances the effect of manual therapy for the lymph system. The lymph system is of importance to the physical therapist who is interested in promoting the healing mechanisms of the body without or with minimal drug usage. The Lymphstar can be used as a performance-enhancing device as well as to reduce inflammation. To enhance athletic performance, use the Lymphstar prior to an event or practice doing the protocol called "general balance and energy" as laid out in the illustrated self-care manual for the Lymphstar."

Medical Doctors

"I have had the privilege of working with the Lymphstar Cleansing Technique. This therapy is especially important during times when the body is dealing with infections, cancer, or after surgery. But I believe it is equally as important as a maintenance therapy for healthy individuals. I highly recommend integrating Lymphatic Cleansing into a holistic approach to healing and preventive health care."
Jackson L. Harvey, MD, Medical Director

Animal Testimonials - Horses

"I was called by a friend with a beautiful Morgan mare with founder. She had a very swollen and painful foreleg. The vet had given the owner little hope. I worked the Lymphstar on the upper leg and she relaxed with the pain relief. I did a 20-minute treatment on the leg and a little on the main lymph drainage area. Within the next few days, the hoof abscessed and drained itself and the vet was pleased, with only a cracked hoof to worry about. It did heal up completely and I only gave a few more short treatments. The owner credited my work with the healing."
