The benefits include reductions in edemas, detoxification of the body, regeneration of tissue as well as many other benefits. Using exacting anatomical science and distinctive manual processes, Lymphatic drainage massage enables practitioners to detect the specific rhythm, direction, depth and quality of the lymph flow anywhere in the body. The practitioner will use their hands to perform work on the vessels to assess overall circulation and determine the best alternate pathways for draining body-fluid stagnations. Therapists work with flat hands, using all the fingers to simulate gentle, specific wave-like movements. These subtle manual maneuvers activate lymph and interstitial fluid circulation as well as stimulate the functioning of the immune and parasympathetic nervous systems. It is shown that when these actions are accomplished, the results can be: Reduction in edemas (swelling) and lymphedemas of various origins Detoxification of the body Regeneration of tissue, including burns, wounds and wrinkles Anti-aging effects Relief of numerous chronic and subacute inflammations, including sinusitis, bronchitis and otitis Relief of chronic pain    Create another stream of income by networking with Medi spas, Oncology clinics and Physical rehab clinics who are now hiring therapist for Lymphatic Drainage.       March 15, 2020 Class Time - 10am to 4pm    Lymphatic Drainage Manual Therapy The student will be able to: - Explain the function and location of the lymphatic system. - Explain the benefits of lymphatic drainage. - Explain contraindications of lymphatic drainage. - Perform basic lymphatic drainage massage routine.      Fee: $225.00      Washington Institute of Natural Medicine Olney Wellness Center 3700 Mystic Ct., Olney, MD 20832  www.NaturalHealthDC.com (202) 237-7681, (202) 686-8202, (301) 538-9540          Call to Register!       (202) 686-8202,              (202) 237-7681, (301) 538-9540
