Apart
from a detox diet or drink special smoothies to detox you can easily start with
a massage to kick-start your body’s own natural cleansing processes,
which has slowed down potentially for a variety of reasons — lack of exercise,
little fluids or fiber in the diet … If you haven’t been taking the best care
of yourself, a detoxifying massage can help set things right again.
How will
massage assist the body to detox, exactly?
The
pressure and rhythmic strokes applied to muscles, tissues and organs during
massage therapy help stimulate the circulatory system. It works sort of like a
sponge: When pressure is applied to the tissue and fat, toxins are literally
“squeezed” out from in between the muscle fibers and cells. They’re released
into the circulatory system for easier elimination.
The key
importance of the lymph system
Your
lymphatic fluid system works in unison with your cardiovascular circulatory
system to fget rid off toxins and carry immune cells throughout the body to
help defend against infections. If your lymph fluid circulation gets sluggish,
toxins can build up and immune cells may not get carried to the areas of the
body where they’re required.
Unfortunately
the lymph system doesn’t have a big central pump like the heart to keep things
moving, so it has to rely on gravity, exercise, breathing … and massage. So if
you haven’t been as good as you should about your exercise, diet and “me time”
routine (it happens to the best of us!), that can affect how you feel, causing
aches, pains and swelling (lymph edema). It can also cause deterioration in
organs and glands like the thymus that are vital players in your immune system.
It’s easy
to see why detoxification is so important to avoiding illness and chronic
health conditions. So if you’re not feeling your best or haven’t been as good
about your diet and exercise routine lately, try a massage to get back on
track. Remember to drink a glass or two of pure water after massage to help the
body flush out toxins more rapidly.
