Cellulite reduction treatment to detoxify and purify

Detoxing is the process of removing toxins from the body. Detoxing your body is not something you can see. However you can feel the effects of a Lumologie detox immediately. As your circulation improves your body de-toxes trapped toxins from your superficial fat stores which diets and exercise simply cannot touch. Detoxing helps the weight loss process by removing toxins and allowing the body to achieve its natural weight. By detoxing with Lumologie you will feel focused, more energetic, lighter and invigorated after every session.

How does Lumologie Detox with your Lymphatic System?

Lymph begins as blood plasma that comes from the capillaries of the circulatory system, filling the space between individual cells of tissue, becoming interstitial fluid. Plasma moves in and out of the capillaries and interstitial spaces. While out of the capillaries, the fluid mixes with the interstitial fluid, causing a gradual increase in the volume of fluid. Most of the fluid is returned to the capillaries. The proportion of interstitial fluid that is returned to the circulatory system is about 90%, with about 10% accumulating as excess.

The excess interstitial fluid is collected by the lymphatic system into lymph capillaries, and is processed by lymph nodes prior to being returned to the circulatory system. This excess is what can build up to cause fluid retention. Once within the lymphatic system the fluid is called lymph, and has almost the same composition as the original interstitial fluid.

The lymphatic system is a complex network of lymph nodes, lymph ducts, lymph capillaries and lymph vessels that produce and transport lymph from tissues to the circulatory system. Unlike the circulatory system which has a heart, the lymphatic system has no pump. Lymph movement occurs slowly with low pressure due to the pumping action of skeletal muscles. Like veins, lymph travels through vessels in one way only, due to valves which prevent back flow. Lymph circulation relies on the movement of muscles to squeeze fluid through them, especially near the joints. Exercise is encouraged in conjunction with Lumologie, as it promotes the movement of lymph. By being active you are less likely to have fluid retention, thus the signs of cellulite will be less obvious.

As the circular path through the body’s system continues, the fluid is then transported to progressively larger lymphatic vessels ending in the right lymphatic duct (for lymph from the right upper body) and the thoracic duct (for the rest of the body); both ducts drain back into the circulatory system at the right and left subclavian veins. As lymph flows through the lymphatic system, it passes through lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are small organs of about 1?2 cm that filter large particles and remove foreign substances before lymph enters the veins. They may be oval, round, elongated, or bean shaped. Lymph nodes are usually found in subcutaneous tissue. Lymph nodes are often found in clusters, especially in the axilla, groin, sides of the neck, thorax and abdomen. The lymph nodes are located along the lymph vessels that lead from tissue to the larger ducts.

Cellulite can be a result of poor lymphatic circulation. Sometimes when fat cells press against connective tissue, there is little room for lymphatic drainage and thus there is a build?up of fluids, fat and toxins. Fluid retention can appear to make the visible signs of cellulite more unslightly.

Detox with Lumologie

Lumologie works by stimulating lymph nodes and helping speed up the movement lymph, reducing fluid retention and detoxifying, a process called Lymphatic drainage.
