Only a few more days until summer! Whatever the holiday program, it’s always between March and June that we all launch into useless and wacky challenges in order to lose weight and have a perfect “summer body”. Forget the weight on the scale, the crash diets and the “How to lose 10 kg in 1 month” type videos that you saved on TikTok and YouTube. Just be content to feel GOOD in your body and healthy!
But if you still want to eliminate a few small excesses and say goodbye to a few small annoyances such as bloating, this article is for you. We are now interested in lymphatic drainage, an increasingly popular practice, ultra-beneficial for the body and useful to “relaunch the machine” when, for example, you find that you are not losing weight despite many efforts. . Appointment made at the Atelier du Drainage Lymphatique with Tehani, the founder of this well-being cocoon located in the heart of Paris, to bring us expert insight into this treatment to be performed in an institute.
Waste, toxins, fats, hormones: why is lymph so important in the body?
To give a simple explanation of this method, know or remember that the body is entirely made up of lymph, a biological fluid that collects waste, bacteria and damaged cells from inside the tissues of the body and is responsible for “carrying” them to the lymph nodes in order to evacuate them from the body or destroy them . It participates in the transport of hormones and the drainage of water in the tissues.
But sometimes, the lymph does not do its job properly and stagnates everywhere. The accumulation of waste and bacteria then leads to water retention, bloating, swelling of the ankles, swelling of the knees but also the storage of fat and toxins or even cellulite.
The action of Tehani Leprieur’s lymphatic drainage
Lymphatic drainage, as its name suggests, is an intense specialized massage technique, designed to act on the lymph, drain it and thus revive its proper functioning. Trained in the famous Renata França method (the Brazilian at the origin of this method now used all over the world), Tehani Leprieur practices a treatment that goes even further by combining the gestures of drainage with osteopathy. On the menu: targeted pressure, rhythmic breathing and intense massage. This miracle combination which lingers moreover rather on the stomach, does not take long to act on the body and the “tired” lymphs because as soon as one passes between his fairy fingers, it is possible to notice the difference: refined silhouette from the first session, desire to urinate, working stomach (or rather intestines) and feeling of lightness.
Why is lymphatic drainage recommended for pregnant women?
Note that this treatment is one of the only ones that can be performed during pregnancy. Tehani Leprieur explains to us that it is also highly recommended for pregnant women from the 4th month of pregnancy, because in the waste that the lymph treats, there is the food that we eat, stress, toxins but also hormones. Lymphatic drainage is beneficial because it treats the overproduction of hormones linked to pregnancy by helping the lymph to circulate well. This helps maintain a high metabolism and limit weight gain.
