The Ultimate Detox for Skin and Body
Lymphatic drainage is an increasingly popular therapy that focuses on stimulating the lymphatic system, a crucial part of our body’s immune and detoxification process. At Ashmira Botanica, we’ve harnessed the power of lymphatic drainage in our clay treatments to help skin, body and overall wellbeing – trust us, this therapy is a game-
changer.
What is Lymphatic Drainage, and Why Does it Matter?
Think of the lymphatic system as the body`s natural detox team. It works behind the scenes, flushing out waste, toxins, and excess fluids. But unlike the circulatory system, which has the heart working as a pump to keep things moving, the lymphatic system relies on movement, massage, and hydration to function properly. Without stimulation, things can get sluggish - leading to puffiness, dull skin, and a feeling of heaviness.
Lymphatic drainage massage is a technique that uses gentle, rhythmic movements to
encourage the natural flow of lymph fluid. This clears blockages, reduces swelling, and
helps the body eliminate toxins more efficiently. The result? Less puffiness and swelling, a more sculpted, defined face and body, a natural healthy glow, increased energy levels and a deep sense of relaxation and wellbeing.
Why We Include Lymphatic Drainage in Our Treatments
At Ashmira Botanica, we believe skincare should be as much about internal health as external beauty. That’s why our treatments, from facials to body rituals, incorporate lymphatic drainage techniques to deliver both instant and long-term benefits for spa clients and professionals alike.
Silicone Drainage Cups: A Modern Twist on Ancient Healing
Cupping therapy has been around for centuries, but we’ve modernised it with soft, flexible silicone cups for the ultimate in comfort and effectiveness. Used in our Energy Renewal Treatment, these cups create gentle suction to encourage lymph movement, helping to:
- Provide customisable pressure: Unlike traditional glass cups, silicone cups allow therapists to control the intensity of suction, making it ideal for lymphatic drainage.
- Relieve fluid retention & bloating: The suction effect stimulates the lymphatic vessels, promoting faster removal of toxins and reducing fluid retention
- Sculpt & define the body and face
- Speed up toxin removal for clearer skin
- Deliver a relaxing, spa-like experience
