Veltheim Method of Lymphatic Drainage

The Veltheim Method of Lymphatic Drainage (VMLD) is a highly effective way of moving interstitial fluid through the tissues and into the lymphatic system. As the lymphatic system is closely associated with the immune system, the immune system's functioning is also improved with VMLD.

The proper functioning of the lymphatic system is critical to our body's ability to detoxify and regenerate tissues. The lymphatic system filters out toxins and foreign substances, recovers crucial substances that have escaped from the blood and helps maintain a healthy immune system.

When the lymphatic system is not functioning effectively, the lymph circulation can stagnate, sometimes due to injury or infection. Toxins then accumulate and cellular metabolism is significantly compromised. The resulting increase in acid and toxins in the tissues can cause pain, tension and edema (swelling). This needs to be removed quickly from the interstitial fluid to restore proper tissue healing and pain-free movement.

Stagnant flow of lymph can contribute to the development of cancerous cells and their continued proliferation so regular treatment with VMLD can support overall health and well-being.

How does it work?

The Veltheim Method of Lymphatic Drainage (VMLD) is deeply relaxing, working lightly and gently on the body. It works by creating a wave like action on the body with the hands that creates vaccuum in the interstitial fluid, which then helps to push lymph through the lymphatic system  more effectively.
​
The VMLD is unlike other forms of lymphatic drainage. It is gentle and can be performed on or off the body. Having it done directly on the skin, while the body is suitably draped, is very nourishing and deeply relaxing. It can also be done through clothes or energetically off the body.
