Following your session, you may experience a few common healing responses as your body adjusts. These reactions are generally temporary and are signs that your body is effectively processing and detoxifying. Here are some of the responses you might experience:
- Detox/Cold or Flu-like Symptoms
It’s possible to feel detox symptoms, such as mild cold or flu-like sensations. If this occurs, increase your water intake, drink electrolyte-rich beverages or herbal teas, and consider a warm Epsom salt bath to support your body’s detox process.
- Increased Elimination
You may notice more frequent urination or bowel movements as your body works to eliminate toxins more efficiently.
- Relaxation and Better Sleep
Lymphatic Drainage targets the parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes deep relaxation. You might experience improved sleep or a sense of calm following your session. It’s also possible to release old emotional or physical trauma during this process.
- Relief in Areas Like the Sinuses, Ears, and Head
By stimulating the lymphatic system, adhesions can break down, improving drainage in areas such as the sinuses, ears, and head. This can help alleviate cognitive issues and enhance mental clarity.
