Lymphatic Drainage

Who knew your lymphatic system was such an essential part of being healthy and happy? 

Your lymphatic system is actually both a part of your immune system and circulatory system, which are two very vital systems which are in charge of creating a normal flow and equilibrium within your body. The system itself is made up of a very large network of lymphatic vessels, lymphatic or lymphoid organs and lymphoid tissues. These vessels carry a clear fluid called lymph to your one and only heart and at the same time filter out the nasties and return it to your bloodstream. This fluid is what leaks out of your cells and tissues which can lead to swelling. Without your lymphatic system working efficiently inflammation and disease can occur.

So how can a poor lymphatic system affect you? Well due to the swelling it can show all over your face and body. It can cause you to look bloated and puffy, on a larger scale it can lead to a range of health issues including tissue swelling, poor skin tone, excess weight, cellulite, headaches, fatigue and susceptibility to illness.  

And how can you help this?

Lymphatic Massage

Can enhance lymphatic flow, which in turn can help your entire lymphatic system. The pressure around your limbs can help to move fluid through your body promoting optimum health and a boost your immune function improving removal of waste and toxins.

What can you do at home? Sometimes the irritants in cosmetics, illness, allergies or overindulgence in inflammatory food can cause puffiness in your face, that's when a face roller comes in handy, you can buy these yourself and use them everyday to keep your face looking vibrant and youthful. As well as many more benefits including, improved skin tone and elasticity of your skin, reduced puffiness, reduced dark under eye circles and reduced pores.

WYLD Favourites

Did you know jade rollers are made of jade and rose quartz? This is perfect for your skincare routine and increase chi.

Jade Facial Roller is our favourite here at WYLD.

We use The Natural Box Jade Rollers, it is great as it has dual rollers, so both a bigger and smaller roller.

Using the roller with your favourite oil, serum or moisturiser will help with product absorption into the skin for maximum benefits. Gently move the roller in a upward and outward direction over your face, starting from your forehead making your way down to your neck and décolletage. The larger roller is designed for use on the face and neck area, while the smaller roller can be used under the eye area and brow bone.

P.s. Remember to make sure it is cold by either placing it in the fridge or freezer as this can help with extra healing.
