Did you get more fluid retention during covid-19?

June 6, 2020 I’ve been back to work for one week doing the lymphatic drainage detox massage on my clients and I’ve noticed that after two-and-a-half to three months (or more) of no lymphatic drainage massage, a lot of my regular clients have a  definite increase in there swelling (bloating) in their abdomen, arms, especially upper arms, and the legs, especially the  thighs. Some have increased puffiness in their face and more pronounced dark circles under their eyes. Some also admitted to having lower energy, more digestive issues, and worsening of eczema and acne. Some gained weight. One woman continued to eat extremely healthily and stayed very active and did not have high stress yet her eczema was aggravated.  She said she knows that her lymph system is clogged. A lot of them admitted they were not as active as they usually are as they could not go to the gym and ate more badly including stress eating which is understandable so a lot more junk food and alcohol was consumed which of course would aggravate the liver and produce more toxins. I have mentioned numerous times in my blogs and to my clients that stress creates  toxins even if you eat a perfect organic diet. I always suggest that my clients do as much as they can to work on alleviating stress in addition to receiving lymphatic massage. Fortunately lymphatic drainage massage also works on the parasympathetic nervous system so it does calm thr mind and help with stress and sleep to some degree even though that’s not the main reason people see me for lymph massage.

My clients noticed a difference even after one session after a long break. They felt more energy, felt lighter, some of the bloat and swelling went down.  Some noticed immediate detox symptoms. The eczema calmed down in one client with severe eczema,  but as a detox symptom it can also flare up temporarily as the toxins are trying to come out. One man’s seasonal allergy symptoms, which had acted up the past month, went away the next day. Another regular client in her 30s likes to dance and she showed me a dance video she did of herself during covid-19, and of another dance video a she did a day after her session as she felt more energetic. She said her thighs were noticeably slimmer and she felt like she looked 5 lb lighter and we could both see it in the video; the comparison was pretty dramatic before and after.  Lymphatic drainage massage is amazingly powerful to rid fluid retention and it’s no surprise that the Victoria Secret models have popularized it in Instagram, and that it is very popular in L.A. and New York.  Stanford University has even proven that lymphatic drainage massage works. See separate blog.

The lymphatic system is a parallel system to the blood system and its purpose is to drain the body all the wastes, toxins, bacteria, and viruses, heavy metal toxins, etc. More details in my website especially in the FAQs and also I’ve written various  blogs that you can read.
