重生一天才狂女微盘:淋巴按摩的大体方向及注意事项

                              身体淋巴按摩方向图

提升淋巴按摩效果的秘诀：

1、按摩先从远离心脏的部位开始向淋巴结方向按摩，“从末端到中心”是按摩的基本要素，顺序为前小腿、前大腿、腹、手臂、脸颈、后小腿、后大腿、背部，结束。同一部位不可反推回来，要朝单一的方向进行。
2、顺应呼吸，在各个部位温柔地按摩各1分钟。施行的动作频率要慢且一致，不可太快；操作时用力不可过重
3、浴后或运动后，身体发热时按摩效果加倍。
4、按摩时使用油质或胶质的护肤品，可以起到护肤、放松的双重作用。但要符合自身的身体状况和肤质，并在手掌中加热后使用。

淋巴按摩的注意点：

1 癌症、免疫系统疾病等重病患者，过度劳累、发热、受伤、怀孕初期都不适合做淋巴按摩。经期不适合做腹部的淋巴按摩。
2 皮肤表面有伤痕，如开刀后的伤口，以及静脉发炎和湿疹、皮肤发炎部位，不可做淋巴按摩。
3 饭后2小时以内，或者酒后不宜做淋巴按摩。
4 淋巴按摩会加速水分的代谢，因此在按摩结束后一定要补充足够的水分。

Lymph Node Locations and Flow

Below is an illustration of lymph nodes and flow. There are many primary areas of major lymph node concentration, with a few in the elbow and knee areas. This is besides the gut which has a heavy concentration. The neck, armpits, groin and the chest appear to be very important areas. The chest is the final destination and is served by the other primary locations. There are about 600 lymph nodes in the body and they all have a different level of importance.  Some can be sacrificed and are when cancerous.  There is the chest lymphatic vessels that flow toward the nodes in the armpits, but then you have the armpits and other major node areas that are directly tied into a serious amount of chest nodes embedded deeper than the surface vessels and these nodes tie into the thoracic blood network that channels wastes to the kidneys, liver and eventual elimination

The lymph net work does not have the luxury of a pumping heart and relies on other means for flow movement. There is an ingenious vacuum mechanics stimulated by body movement as in the foot, that takes place with a series of check valves that allow one way fluid flow toward the nodes, but will not allow back flow with the check valves. This is where  stretching of the skin and certain exercise comes in and the best analogy I can think of  is squeezing a tube of toothpaste with just the pressure of your fingers.  When you constrict an area  (breathing in to the max is a great stretching example)  as described in some of the procedures below that are under pressure, when you release the constriction you will in most cases have a temporary increase over the normal pressure. This increase propels fluids and this is the objective, as foreign material is loosened and removed in the process.
