THE SELAH STANDARD🌿
From Milagros’ desk 📚
Have you tried Lymphatic Drainage before reaching for ibuprofen?
Inflammation is often your body’s way of communicating that something needs attention. While there are times when medication is appropriate, many people overlook the body’s natural drainage and detoxification system: the lymphatic system.
Your body may not always be asking for suppression.
Sometimes, it’s asking for flow.
✨ Natural ways to support the body:
• Lymphatic Drainage Therapy
• Hydration with water and electrolytes
• Movement and walking
• Deep diaphragmatic breathing
• Quality sleep and recovery
• Anti-inflammatory whole foods
• Stress management
• Dry brushing (when appropriate)
• Compression garments (when indicated)
What does the lymphatic system help move?
The lymphatic system helps transport:
• Excess fluid from tissues
• Cellular waste and metabolic byproducts
• Proteins trapped in tissues
• Immune cells throughout the body
• Toxins and debris the body is working to eliminate
Unlike the heart, which pumps blood continuously, the lymphatic system relies on movement, breathing, muscle contractions, and manual stimulation to keep fluid moving efficiently.
When lymph flow becomes sluggish, people may experience:
• Puffiness and swelling
• Heaviness in the legs or arms
• Bloating
• Fatigue
• Brain fog
• Slow recovery after surgery or exercise
• Skin congestion
As the CEO of Selah Body Contouring & Wellness, here’s what I tell clients:
Lymphatic Drainage isn’t just a luxury treatment—it’s a wellness practice.
How often you should receive sessions depends on your goals:
✨ Wellness & Prevention: Every 4–6 weeks
✨ Chronic Inflammation or Fluid Retention: Weekly to bi-weekly initially
✨ Athletes & Active Individuals: Every 2–4 weeks
✨ Post-Operative Clients: Follow your provider’s recommended protocol
✨ Lymphedema or Lipedema Support: Customized treatment plans based on individual needs
Signs your body may benefit from a lymphatic drainage session:
✓ You wake up feeling swollen or puffy
✓ Rings, bras, or clothing feel tighter than usual
✓ Your legs feel heavy by the end of the day
✓ You struggle with bloating despite eating well
✓ Recovery from workouts feels slower
✓ You feel sluggish or fatigued without explanation
✓ You experience recurring fluid retention
✓ You simply don’t feel like yourself
At Selah, we know and believe the body was designed to heal, move, and thrive. Sometimes the first step isn’t doing more.
It’s helping the body do what it was created to do ~ flow.
