It's origins can be traced to the research of physician Frederic Millard and massage practitioner Emil Vodder, Ph.D. Over the years methods have been honed, refined and expanded. The proper function of our lymphatic system is critical to our body's ability to drain stagnant fluids, detoxify, regenerate tissues, filter out toxins and foreign substances and maintain a healthy immune system. Lymph vessels rely upon hundreds of tiny muscular units (lymphangions) contracting throughout he body to propel lymph flow. These contractions enable the lymph vessels to transport numerous substances such as proteins, toxins, hormones, fatty acids and immune cells to lymph nodes for processing. The action of these muscular units can be hindered or stopped due to surgery, trauma, burns, infections, substantial swelling, fatigue stress or age. When lymph circulation is compromised, the way may be opened to physical ailments and hastening of the aging process.
