Does anyone know Lymphatic Drainage?!

I practice it. I learned it in undergrad school and it was included with my degree. However, it takes more time than attending school to master this. I attended various seminars for my continuing education hours for my license.
Yes, I had it done several times in school and after I graduated I went and had done every so often. I am so busy now that I have no time to go but I am due for one.

This is from a program on my computer from the last workshop I attended.
Understanding the Lymphatic System

Introduction

The treatment of lymphedema is based on the structures and functions of the lymphatic system. This article presents basic information about the lymphatic system as it relates to the lymphedema care provided by patients as self-care and by caregivers who are aiding lymphedema patients. A qualified lymphedema therapist must have a more extensive understanding of this body system that is presented here.

Functions of the Lymphatic System

The lymphatic system works in close cooperation with other body systems to perform these important functions:

* The lymphatic system aids the immune system in destroying pathogens and filtering waste so that the lymph can be safely returned to the circulatory system.
* To remove excess fluid, waste, debris, dead blood cells, pathogens, cancer cells, and toxins from these cells and the tissue spaces between them.
* The lymphatic system also works with the circulatory system to deliver nutrients, oxygen, and hormones from the blood to the cells that make up the tissues of the body.

In lymphedema affected tissues, the lymph is unable to drain properly. Instead within these swollen tissues the protein-rich lymph becomes stagnant. When bacteria enter this fluid through a break in the skin, they thrive on this protein-rich fluid. It is for this reason that lymphedema affected tissues are prone to infections.

It may provide temporary relief if the lymphatic system has been damaged (injury, disease). Otherwise its quackery.
