What causes swollen legs and feet?

Fluid retention and swollen legs and feet can be caused by lymph drainage problems and this can be treated by the experts at totalcare.

Lymph is blood plasma after it has carried its nutrients into the body’s tissues, dropped them off for the cells, picked up the waste products and re-entered our water reclamation plant, called the lymph system.
It is filtered and detoxified in a series of nodes before it empties back into the heart where it once again becomes blood plasma.

Lymph is rich in minerals, proteins and white blood cells. It is the clear fluid you see seeping out of a scrape or shallow cut, often before there is any blood. The bulk of our lymph circulates just beneath the skin where it is quickly available as the immune system’s first line of defense in minor injuries.

Keeping your lymph system active is very important because the faster you detoxify, the healthier you are. Lymph drainage is excellent for the skin, even providing a one or two day “face lift”, hydrating the skin and removing local toxins, softening wrinkles, rejuvenating the skin, and helping to heal acne.

The experts recommend:

Pressure therapy is the latest technique and it focuses on your body’s blood and lymph circulation. It’s very effective in tackling swollen legs and ankles, cellulite, water retention, preventing varicose veins, painful legs and other problems, leaving you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.
