Why does MLD have such a profound effect on the Autonomic Nervous System?
Almost 50 years ago Prof. Dr. Paul Hutzschenreuter measured the effect of Dr Vodder's MLD on the sympathetic nervous system, noting a significant reduction in sympathetic activity within 5 minutes of beginning the MLD treatment. He coined the term sympatholytic which is now commonly used in lymphology.
Brain drainage – what’s all the fuss about?
An area of great excitement in lymphatic research - and I think great confusion - is the ‘new discovery’ of ‘lymph vessels’ in the brain. The idea of functioning lymph vessels inside the brain is fascinating, as is every new discovery in lymphology, but the research doesn't exactly show this.
The Unique Innervation of Facial Skin: Why MLD Facials are So Good.
Comparing innervation of the facial skin and the rest of the body affords us an appreciation of the direct connection that skin has to autonomic centres of the brain, and explains how the seemingly simple techniques of MLD, which are mainly gentle, repetitive, circular movements of the skin, can have such a direct effect on both vascular issues such as rosacea, and in emotional stress such as anxiety.
Why MLD should be started as early as possible.
There's nothing quite so satisfying as reading a well written paper which summarises everything interesting that we know about the lymph system. In this regard, the recent paper by Weber et al (1) is a good read for anyone fascinated by lymphatics, regardless of academic ability. Personally I can't help but make connections with the descriptions given, and what I know about lymphatic physiology and the effects of MLD. It's also very affirming when new understandings in lymphology, support the b
Brain inflammation and neurodegenerative diseases. Can MLD prevent progression?
Cerebral spinal fluid (CFS) is sometimes referred to as a 3rd circulation system, functioning as the lymphatic equivalent to clear wastes fr
