Bio-Electric Lymphatic Drainage (BELD) can be relaxing like a soothing massage, allowing the body to go into the parasympathetic healing mode. BELD therapy uses a light beam generator which emits a stream of photons (negative ions). These are known for their antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. This light beam with a heartbeat pulsation improves the flow in blood and lymph, while simultaneously loosening waste from cells.
BELD the most recent advancement of this technology is a vibration energy technology. That means it emits energetic information to the energy field of the cells via harmonic sounds, frequencies of light and Noble Gas Ionization. This assists in the removal of toxins, poisons and trapped proteins, literally cleaning the spaces between cells and allowing waste products and toxins to slowly and safely flow out through normal channels. It is a gentle, noninvasive procedure combined with gentle manual lymph drainage and is faster and more complete than manual techniques used alone. Allowing the therapist to accomplish in a one-hour session what would take many hours without the vibration energy technology.

THE SESSION
Typically, each session lasts 45 minutes. This is a non-invasive safe technique and relaxing, as the probe is used to move the lymph along.
A customized treatment is done on the first visit. On subsequent visits more attention and time can be devoted to areas of stagnation.
Most patients do not experience any side effects. Occasionally after treatments, patients report feeling an increase in symptoms the following morning. This is referred to as a Herx reaction or “detox reaction.” As toxins released from the tissues move to the organs to be eliminated from the body, they can cause some discomfort or general feeling of yuck. This is similar to shaking out a carpet- sometimes you have to make a mess to clean.
To reduce this occurring, we recommend:
- Drinking more water before AND after the lymph drainage session
- Taking “binders” as prescribed by your physician immediately after the session (e.g. detox clay)
- Drinking more water
- Light aerobic activity (e.g. walking or using a rebounder trampoline)
- Colonic hydrotherapy
- Drinking more water than that
- Rest
BEFORE YOUR SESSION:
- Avoid lotion/oil, deodorant, perfume, makeup.
- Avoid drinking 1 hour before session for comfort while lying down.
- Avoid irritants like: coffee, soda, sugar, alcohol, etc., the day of the appointment.
AFTER YOUR SESSION:
- Clients may feel relaxed for a few hours after the appointment.
- Clients might have more volume when urinating. It may possibly have a stronger smell and different color and be foamy or filmy as the lymph drains first towards the kidney/bladder.
- It is important to drink more water than normal to assist the cleansing.
It is best NOT to schedule your first lymph drainage massage right before a major event, unless you are really trying to call in sick. While some people report feeling amazing after moving toxins out of their bodies, some people have more toxins more than others and may feel a little less than amazing while the toxins that were mobilized are vacating.
Your lymph system will continue to feel the effects for 24-36 hours after treatment.
HOW MANY SESSIONS DO YOU NEED?
The sessions have a cumulative effect and soon you will be able to manage your lymph health on your own. 8 sessions are recommended to start 1 time per week for eight weeks consistently, works best if used in conjunction with one of our other detox therapies.
For maximum benefit of a lymphatic cleansing, we recommend Bio-Electric Lymphatic Drainage followed with Colon Hydrotherapy, sauna, footbath and vibrational plate. These combinations help in better cleansing by first breaking up toxins and then eliminating them from your body.
