Living the Lymphatic Lifestyle
Dr. Diana came in for an Assisted Lymphatic Therapy session while recovering from upper respiratory congestion. Her glands were swollen and she was feeling lethargic. In addition, she had:
💦Fluid retention
🦵Swelling in ankles
🙅🏻♀️Swollen glands in throat
💪Pain in armpits
🦵Vericose veins
While I was working with her, I could see folds in her skin widen as the fluid was moved from her abdomen to the detox pathways to be released!
She walked out of the session feeling lighter & relaxed! 🧖🏻♀️Almost a week after her session, she was still noticing
✔️less lumpy legs,
✔️smaller ankles,
✔️significant recovery in the glands of her throat,
✔️more comfort in clothes, &
✔️significantly smaller varicose veins
✔️less CELLULITE!
Alright, so we got you on board with how important your lymphatic system is. Knowing it’s the first filter your body has and that all of your other systems depend on it, it makes sense to invest a little time into learning how to assist lymphatic drainage. Beyond doing manual lymph drainage techniques (my favorite collection is in The Book of Lymph-buy it!), here are some things you can do to keep your lymph draining properly.
Daily tips
Drink water
It seems pretty basic, but keeping your body well hydrated can give the body the fluids it needs to keep the lymph draining. Many people are either drinking too much water or not enough. You’re drinking the right amount of water if your urine is slightly yellow. If it’s clear, you’re drinking too much. If it’s dark, you’re not drinking enough.
Unless you have well or spring water, steer clear of water from the tap. Tap water has a heavy dose of pharmaceuticals, flouride, chlorine, and other nasty stuff.
Additionally, water from the tap or a distiller is unstructured. When you drink unstructured water, it robs your body of energy as the water seeks structure. Distilled structured water is the best option. You can easily structure your water using a tri-vortex disc.
Once the water is cleaned, add a pinch of gray sea salt. Why? Remember how if you go to the hospital, they hydrate you with saline? That’s because the salt helps with electrolyte and mineral balance. Adding sea salt makes your water saline and more hydrating.
dry brush
Daily dry brushing with a natural bristled brush helps keep the lymph flowing. If you’ve never done it before, here’s how.
Go slow and gently. Remember the lymphatic system is delicate.
Start at the top. You’ll see lots of advice to start at the feet, but that’s like the guy who tries to get around a traffic jam by driving on the shoulder. There’s no place for him to go and eventually he has to wait like everyone else. You need to clear blockages at the top so the lymph from lower down has some place to go. (I learned this here.)
For a bonus, add some lymph supporting essential oils to the brush. (See more in Weekly tips.)
chi machine
If you haven’t experienced the joy of the chi machine, you’re in for a treat! It gently moves your body from side to side. When it finishes, you get a tingly rush all over.
Do this in a private room because you have to be naked for the best effects.
Place a towel on the floor and a pillow to support your legs.
Lay down and cover with a blanket. You want to stay warm at all times.
Chill out for 20-30 minutes.
The only brand I use is the Sun Ancon (and I get no money for saying that.) You can often find them on Ebay. Other brands gave me a gnarly lower back rug burn and mess up your neck.
Weekly tips
use essential oils
Essential oils are one of my favorite tools for my health. They’re easy to use and fit into even the busiest routines.
To support the lymph system, I use specific blends daily as my deodorant and to put on specific areas that get congested easily.
Once a week, I do something called the Symphony of the Cells Lymphatic protocol. This is a simply protocol where you layer several oils on your back and feet. It takes about 5 minutes.
You can find the protocol in this book and when you order the oils from me, I’ll make sure you know exactly how to do it. Find the oils here for 25% off.
use bentonite clay
I hope whomever makes this clay never figures out how useful it is. It’s incredibly cheap and so versatile that I could write 10 blog posts about it. (See what I’ve already done here.)
My mentor and I did a little experiment and we found that the bentonite clay in a bath clears lymph incredibly well. So does using it in mask form when you apply it above the collar bones and under the armpits.
book your next appointment
If you haven’t already, book your next appointment with me for assisted lymphatic therapy. The benefits of the sound and light frequencies go far beyond the lymphatic system. Depending on your health goals, you could see me weekly, monthly, or somewhere in between.

If these things are done consistently, your body will thank you with better sleep, appropriate sweat, regular bowel movements & urine production, and a smooth hormone cycle. These are all essential to detoxifying the body and moving towards optimal health. ENJOY!
If you’re not a Missourian (or an Illinoisan), then traveling to see me for Assisted Lymphatic Therapy might not be possible for you. I can still help you with your lymphatic system using BioResonance Feedback Therapy.
With BioResonance Feedback Therapy, I can work with the lymphatic nodes as well as the organs that play a key role in the lymphatic system while you rest in your home, anywhere in the world. Read more here.
