Aromatherapy Lymphatic Massage (ALM).

Your lymphatic system plays a large role in the immune function and circulation of fluids in your body.

Developed in the 1930s, lymphatic drainage is a delicate form of massage that stimulates the body’s lymphatic system. ALM helps slow down your body clock and improves your body’s waste management by decongesting the accumulation and stagnation of body fluid.

The essential oils aid the elimination of waste and toxins from the body. By using the aromatic essential oils, with the lymphatic massage, this doubles the therapeutic benefit to the recipient.

Unlike some other forms of massage, Lymphatic Drainage uses a technique of applying light pressure in the direction of the lymph nodes, whilst using soft pumping movements to stimulate and move the excess fluid so that it can drain away normally.
