What is a Manual Lymphatic
Drainage Treatment
Known as manual lymphatic drainage, this treatment consists of a gentle form of massage used to relieve painful swelling in your arms, legs, abdomen and/or other parts of the body caused by lymphedema. Lymphedema happens when your tissues retain fluid left behind after your cardiovascular system sends blood to your tissues and organs.
The remaining fluid is called lymph. Normally, your lymphatic system collects your lymph and returns it to your heart via a network of lymph vessels and lymph nodes. When something disrupts your lymphatic system's process, lymph collects in your arm, legs, abdomen and other parts of your body, making them swell.
A massage therapist uses lymphatic drainage massage techniques to move lymph from your tissues to your lymph nodes, which eases the swelling in your tissues.

What is a Vagus Nerve Inhibition Treatment
The Vagus nerve is the longest nerve in your body. It connects your brain to many important organs throughout the body, including the gut (intestines, stomach), heart and lungs.
The Vagus nerve is also a key part of your parasympathetic “rest and digest” nervous system. It influences your breathing, digestive function, and heart rate, all of which can have a huge impact on your mental health.
But what you really need to pay special attention to is the "tone" of your Vagus nerve. Vagal tone is an internal biological process that represents the activity of the Vagus nerve. Stimulating and increasing your vagal tone activates the parasympathetic nervous system, and having higher vagal tone means that your body can relax faster after stress.
