A pleasurable, affordable, drug-free approach
MLD is used to drain edemas, ease congestion and support the flow of lymph. For sinusitis it is done as a short daily series of sessions, aimed at helping congested sinuses drain. It is pleasurable and deeply relaxing.
Encourages drainage
Light, semi-circular strokes enhance the flow of lymph, the system that carries congestion away.
Deeply relaxing
A pleasurable, gentle treatment — never forceful. Deeply calming from the first minutes on the table.
Supports lymph flow
MLD is designed to move lymph — the system that drains and filters fluid throughout the body.
How MLD works on the sinuses
A gentle, light-touch treatment performed on the neck and face.
For sinusitis it is performed on the neck and face with light, semi-circular strokes on the skin.
The principle is that we enhance the flow of lymph to the exit, which is at the base of the neck, where it meets the collar bone. The lymph vessels under the skin are connected with the deeper ones, including those coming out of the sinuses. When we 'empty' the superficial vessels, the vacuum pulls the lymph of the deeper vessels up and away, draining the sinuses.
What to expect: For sinusitis the sessions need to be daily — a short series, not an open-ended program.
