Guest guest Posted August 24, 2000 Report Share Posted August 24, 2000 The absolute best way to stimulate the entire lymphatic system is the use of a mini-trampoline, called a 'rebounder'. Bouncing on this for at least 15-20 minutes per day will stimulate and activate the lymphatic system like nothing else. Skin brushing and herbs are fine, but rebounding is a direct way to force the lymphatic system to start working. It is called the 'second circulatory system', as it parallels the blood circulatory system, but it does not have a pump (heart) like the blood circ system does. Rebounding (as it is called) not only acts as a pump to the lymphatic system, but you also get the equivalent of an entire body massage at the cellular level.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2000 Report Share Posted August 25, 2000 Here is another way to stimulate the lymphatic system, the Chi machine. A few of my friends have them and have gotten good results. I have tried it a few times and it is quite interesting the effect that it has. It's from Japan and medically licenced there. http://www.chimachineusa.com/ Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 24, 2001 Report Share Posted November 24, 2001 Axel, I'm glad you mentioned the lymphatic system. I learned lymphatic maneuver (it is like massage but very gentle) a few years ago. The flowing of the lymph is so important for the immune system and overall health. The Chi Machine (oxigenizer) is also an amazing little machine that not only oxigenates the body but helps the free flow of the lymph and balances the chakra system (www.chimachine.com) At night it is advisable to sleep with very loose clothes. Re: Rebounders Ahh yes, rebounders. Part of the benefit of rebounding is the circulation, especially of the lymphatic system. Did you know we have more lymph fluid than blood? Or that we have more " mileage " in our lymphatic system than for our blood? And that we have no " pump " system (like that beating heart) for the lymphatic system? We must get it through physical activity, and rebounding is very good for this. Also Yoga, but I guess most Os aren't very much into that... If you don't have a rebounder, don't worry, you can get plenty of lymphatic stimulation from jogging and running... very O-ish activities! Also, in my Chi video there is an exercise that is basically standing with knees slightly bent, bouncing up and down, this is much like rebounding. You don't need a trampoline to bounce! But I'm sure rebounders are more effective and less aggravating to existing injuries... just m2c ----- Receive No Mail: -nomail Receive Digest Version: -digest Receive All e-mails: -normal Post message: Subscribe: -subscribe ==================================================================== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 3, 2002 Report Share Posted February 3, 2002 barbaran@... writes: > Yeah please do...would be interested in hearing more > Denny > Gladly! in health, ========= This is from the book " Natural Detox " by Marie Farquharson. Method Work on dry skin, before you bath or shower, and use long sweeping movements. Always brush towards your heart. 1. First brush the sole of one foot, then work up the front and back of the same leg and over your buttocks. 2. Repeat on the other leg. 3. Then work on your hands and arms: starting at your fingertips brush the palms and backs of your hand and then move up towards your armpits. 4. Brush across your shoulders and as much of your back as you can reach. 5. Brush your chest, working down towards your heart. Women should be gentle on their breasts and avoid brushing their nipples. 6. Brush down your neck. 7. Now brush your stomach, in a circular motion. Always brush in a clockwise direction as this helps to stimulate the colon. 8. Brush until your skin feels warm, but don't overdo it. Around five minutes of brushing is plenty, but less is fine too. After any brushing take a bath or shower. Note: never brush on broken or irritated skin, or share your brush with anyone else; it can spread infection. Be sure to keep your brush fresh and clean, and always wash it in warm soapy water after using --all those dead cells make a wonderful home for bacteria.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Before my prior note was even able to be posted I came across info that strikes me to believe what is going on with me involves the lymphatic system; but I don't think it is lymphedema which others have likely dealt with.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Anne, We've had women who have had to have lymph nodes removed because they were filled with silicone--this is even women with saline implants (the shell can shed particles.) A stagnant lymph is not a good thing...the lymph system does not have a pump like the bloodstream does with the heart. The only thing that keeps lymph moving is exercise (doesn't have to be heavy exercise...walking will do.). Jumping rope and rebounding are good for the lymph system, too. There is also a therapy you can get called Lymphatic massage. A good old fashioned massage is helpful too! The goal is to keep that lymph moving and doing it's job. Here's some good info: http://www.iatria.com/massage.html The lymphatic system is essential as the body's drainage system for cleansing and filtering out of bacteria and toxins. Congested lymph pathways can cause soreness, aches, pains and flu-like symptoms. Lymphatic massage helps to unclog the lymph system. Beginning in a clockwise motion on the body, the lymph system is manually cleansed. Best performed in a series of six, or as part of a full detoxification program, this form of massage helps the body to heal itself from many common maladies. As with most massage, it is vital to drink lots of water after a lymphatic massage. Benefits: Many cases of disharmony on the body and mind are due to an exhausted lymph system. This helps to clear the " passage-ways " . Excellent after surgery. > > Before my prior note was even able to be posted I came across info that > strikes me to believe what is going on with me involves the lymphatic > system; but I don't think it is lymphedema which others have likely > dealt with. > > Anne > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Hey sidepull - I just recently started doing the dry body brushing. It's amazing! I don't know if it would have helped when we were in the thick of things but I no longer shed skin like I used to. I think it keeps the mites/bacteria/etc. from having a virtual buffet. And, I so agree with the Lymph statement. Since starting the brushing the pockets of " swelling " I have had since our mite-mare started are gone (used to be under my eyes, my knee caps, etc. even though my weight is actually lower than it has been since like high school). So, a rebounder is on my santa list, too! We gotta help the lymph system in every way we can - it's got a big job having to fight this! > > Great news Sidepull!  Totally logical. Worth trying for all of us. > Love and light, > > > > ________________________________ > From: sidepull5150 <sidepull5150@...> > bird mites > Sent: Sunday, November 27, 2011 1:21 PM > Subject: Lymphatic System > > >  > Hello all, > > Just had to post some good news and some great info I just found while researching for my toe nail fungus. > > 1st Off the good news. In 2010 and 2011 I have been thinking this might be the year I see then end of my mites... For the most part they are minimal, still with me but the least active they have been in a while, just not all gone... > > The other day I was working a job that, for 2.5 hours was absolutely a total body aerobic workout. Nothing in a fitness center could compare, I was a human blurr, push, pull, lift, throw, GO, GO, GO. It was awesome, I love that physically challenging stuff. > > Fast forward 5 hours and my skin was dead quiet. Nothing. Next day my skin was still really quiet. > > What happened? Our bodies have a Lymphatic system. This system, unlike our circulatory system has no pump. It relies on physical movement to pump the fluid through our Lymphatic system. You can also stimulate fluid movement by skin brushing, rebounding... So what I believe happened for me is that my lymphatic system was able to move alot of toxins and other crap out for elimination and thus my body is a bit less toxic and my little friends are not as well fed. Since I first read of my lymphatic system I have believed that it would be beneficial to keep it working very well. I never did buy the rebounder (mini-trampoline), but now I most surely will. > > 2nd, I found this write up on the Lymphatic System today. This is the link to the article. > > http://colloidalsilversolutions.com/cellularlymphaisizer.html > > I'm so excited, as this information and physical reaction come nearly hand in hand. I think I'll ask Santa for a rebounder. Until I get one, I'll just do a little rebounding with my feet on the floor and my I-Pod cranking some great music. > > Happy trails > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
