WHAT IS LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE?

Lymphatic Massage is commonly referred to as Lymphatic Drainage which is a specialised massage type that gently assists the lymphatic system in maintaining the body’s fluid balance, blood circulation, and immune mechanisms. This involves a gentle rhythmic massage treatment and movement of the hands which pushes fluid towards the lymph nodes. Once fluid reaches the nodes, it can be transported elsewhere in the body, using the lymphatic drainage system.  This can assist the body’s natural ability to remove any build-up of toxins. The system’s network of vessels and nodes contains lymph, a mixture of water, proteins, immune system components, waste products, and other remnants of cell metabolism.

How do lymphatic drainage massages actually work?

Said to help the lymphatic system do its job, lymphatic drainage massage allegedly helps to speed up the removal of waste and toxins from the body. Pressure-wise, it’s much lower in intensity and follows a particular stroke pattern to generate its results, with the first stroke being done to stretch the skin, while the second, more directional stroke is performed to send lymphatic fluid towards the nearby lymph nodes. Most people are eligible for facial lymphatic drainage massage.

WHAT IS GUA SHA?

You might have seen people rubbing Gua Sha tools across their faces on social media and wondered what it was. Facial Gua Sha has been proven to help relieve facial tension, reduce puffiness and inflammation.

What is Its Historical Significance?

Gua Sha, translating to “scraping” or “press-stroking” in Chinese, is a healing technique that dates back over 2,000 years. Originally used to treat various ailments and improve overall health, Gua Sha involves scraping the skin with a smooth-edged tool to stimulate blood flow and promote healing. The technique has evolved over centuries and has been integrated into modern beauty and wellness practices, particularly for facial rejuvenation and contouring. Gua Sha Contouring Facial Treatment is not only a trending beauty therapy but also a time-honored healing practice with deep roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Our Course at Le Spa Massage Academy offers an in-depth exploration of this ancient technique, providing you with the skills and knowledge to deliver exceptional treatments to your clients.
