Lymphatic Massage
The lymphatic system is an anatomical structure consisting of a network of ducts and nodes that are distributed throughout our body, a fluid called lymph is produced and transported in these ducts, this is a liquid composed of lymphocytes, proteins and water derived from interstitial tissue.
One of the functions of the lymphatic system is the drainage of excess fluid in the interstitial tissue, maintaining the balance in the mobilization of fluids in our body. When there is some type of pathology that alters the lymphatic flow, there is an imbalance in the handling of liquids and this can produce Lymphedema, “swelling of any part of your body due to accumulation of lymphatic fluid”
Lymphedema is caused by an obstruction in the lymphatic system, usually caused by the removal of a lymph node or damage caused by cancer treatment. The main symptom is swelling of the affected area, which may be accompanied by pain or discomfort. The treatment of this condition is based on compressive bandages, exercise or the well-known lymphatic massages.
At Omsana Health, as part of our approach to body rehabilitation, we implement Lymphatic Massage sessions, with the objective of improving the flow of lymphatic fluid, and in case the patient already has Lymphedema, this type of massage will help reduce swelling, redirecting the accumulated fluid in the area, reducing the symptoms and improving blood circulation by reducing the compressive effect generated by the excess of trapped fluid.
Infrared Sauna
A traditional sauna uses heat to warm the air, which in turn warms your body. An infrared sauna heats your body directly without warming the air around you.
Several studies have looked at using infrared saunas in the treatment of chronic health problems, such as high blood pressure, cancer, congestive heart failure, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, headache, type-2 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis, and found evidence of its effectiveness.
