In addition to the circulatory system, the lymphatic system also covers the entire body and can greatly affect many of the body’s essential functions. It is important to keep the fluids of these systems moving properly to ensure that oxygen and other nutrients reach the tissues through the circulatory system, and for the wastes to be carried away from the tissues via the lymphatic system. Movement of body fluids is essential for health at a cellular level. However, unlike the circulatory system which has the heart, the lymphatic system lacks a pump to carry waste from the lymph glands out of the body.

​

Common factors contributing to lymph congestion:

• Poor nutrition

• Injuries

• Constipation

• Lack of exercise

• Environmental toxins

• Pathogens

• Stress

• Hormone imbalances

• Normal aging process 

​

When toxins accumulate in the lymphatic system the body becomes sluggish, sick, and is in fact, how cellulite is formed: clogged lymph nodes become lymph lumps, the fatty deposits we know as cellulite. 

​

Fortunately, today’s state-of-the-art Bio-Electric Lymphatic Drainage therapy is an accelerated method of moving stagnant, sticky lymphatic fluid out of the body. The Inspiration System is in a class of technology known as vibrational science. Inspiration achieves its results on an energetic level. Cells have an electromagnetic charge that either binds them together or keeps them apart. It works by rebalancing the charge of the cells' electromagnetic field. It provides "information in the form of harmonics of sound and light to the energy field of the cell." The result of this application is the breaking up of the blockages through the re-polarization of proteins. When the polarity of the blockage is reversed, the material slowly erodes and flows out through natural system channels.

​

Clinical Applications:

• Headaches and sinus problems

• Helps to clear fluid retention 

• Sore throats including lymphadenopathies of the neck

• Stiff necks, sore shoulders, whiplash, and back problems 

• Fibromyalgia 

• Chronic fatigue 

• Helps reduce cellulite 

• Chronic Colitis 

• Carpel Tunnel syndrome

• Most joint inflammatory conditions

• Improves fertility by clearing congestion in the pelvic area

• Helps many cases of under active thyroid by allowing the thyroid hormone to get into the tissues where it is needed

• Helps release stress and tension 

​

What to Expect During a Session:

A BELD session begins by having the client lie on a warm massage table under a sheet/blanket. The therapist starts by checking the condition of the lymphatic system, as it presents on the client's body. “Inspiration” has a hand-held wand that is lightly moved over the skin, producing a negative energy field which allows the blood and lymph fluid to circulate freely. The hands-on lymphatic drainage technique consists of slow, subtle, and gentle sweeping movements, mimicking the natural rhythmic pumping of the lymphatic system. This results in enhanced recovery rates by loosening proteins that are stagnant, causing retained fluid and congested areas to FLOW. Stagnation is reversed and the lymph system is now free to perform its normal cleansing functions. 

​

Preparing for Your Session:

• Come in for your session with dry skin – refrain from showering or bathing at least 3-4 hours prior to your session

• Avoid applying lotion/oil, deodorant, perfume and makeup prior to your appointment. This prevents the light technique from being blocked to achieve maximum benefits 

• You might consider leaving your jewelry at home, as we will need you to remove all metal prior to the session 

• Avoid drinking 1 hour before your session for your comfort while lying down

​

After Your Session:

• Clients may feel relaxed for a few hours after the appointment

• Clients often notice a higher volume of urine production. It may have a stronger smell, be different colour, or even be foamy/filmy as a result the lymphatic drainage

• It is important to drink plenty of water (more than normal) to assist the cleansing 

 

How Many Sessions Do You Need?

BELD may be taken every other day to help a congested system. It can also be taken as needed or as desired for immune strength or relaxation. For maximum benefit of a lymphatic cleansing, we highly recommend Bio-Electric Lymphatic Drainage be followed by a Colon Hydrotherapy or SlimLine Sauna Pod Deluxe session. These combinations help in better cleansing by first breaking up toxins and then eliminating them from your body.

​

Contraindications: 

Under the following circumstances, clients CANNOT undergo BELD therapy:

• Have an electrical implant or pacemaker 

• Have had recent significant trauma (auto accident – falls – etc. in the last six months)

• Are pregnant (unless referred by consulting doctor)

• Have undergone recent surgery (within the last 4 weeks)

• Have a terminal illness
