The Book of Lymph: Self-care Lymphatic Massage to Enhance Immunity, Health and Beauty
About this ebook
The lymphatic system is the body's first line of defence against illness and is responsible for ridding the body of toxins, waste and other unwanted materials. When it's not functioning well, it's easy to see and feel the bloat, puffiness and general malaise it causes.
Lisa Levitt Gainsley combines her 25 years of experience as a lymph specialist with scientific know-how to show us how lymphatic treatment is the missing link to our most common health woes. She shows us how lymphatic drainage can provide us with pain relief, inflammation reduction, weight loss, brighter skin and generally better health. From three-to-five-minute massage sequences to backed-up research into the effectiveness of lymphatic drainage, The Book of Lymph will put you on the path to taking control of how you feel, reducing bloating and puffiness independently. The first book of its kind, The Book of Lymph will help you to live a pain-free life.
