Trying lymphatic drainage therapy - Lyme Disease Message Board

6Blues · 06-21-2005, 09:51 AM

Hi!

My LLMD has a natura-pathic (sp?) therapist who works in the same office and I am scheduled for 3 sessions of lymphatic drainage therapy. I go 3 weeks in a row, begining next week.

From the description, the therapist uses aromatic oils to massage and stimulate the lymph glands and scalp/spine region to promote drainage.

My LLMD recommended it because another Lyme patient found great improvement in his neuro symptoms from this procedure.

It is also known as raindrop therapy.

It costs $100 a visit (ouch!) but I'll give it a try and let folks know if it has any affect other than putting me to sleep, LOL.

P.S. I love seeing all the new topics and posts when I log on.

Make sure they KNOW and UNDERSTAND how sick you actually are!

I did a lymphatic massage therapy called VODDER. She only did my neck and face. I becmae VERY ill. Emotionally upset..very depressed...then vomiting 24 hrs .... then the other end for 3 days. I lost 8lbs in 3 days. THe nausea lasted for about 2 months. Still am dealing with it a lot more then I ever did.

I have found that when the toxin load is high and then you release all of them into the blood our bodies go crazy.

Make sue you are doing your detox baths..at least every other day..rotating them out...skin brushing...light rebounding. Get your toxin load lessened and get your lymphatic sytem draining a little bit yourself first.

Let me know how your session goes.

Thank you so much for the advice!! It's always great to hear from someone who's been through it before.

I will be sure to try and lighten my toxic load before I go.

Hi Zoe.

I personally don't have swellings or thickening.

Perhaps you can post a new thread with your question as the topic? I'm sure folks will respond.

Good health to you!
