Electro-Lymphatic Therapy (ELT) in Bucharova

During electro-lymphatic therapy, you will rest comfortably on a massage table. Then, a trained specialist will place a special glass tube device directly onto the skin. This special device delivers a very subtle, but powerful ionic energy field 6 to 8 inches into the body.

Normally, the specialist will begin the therapy at the collar bones and gently tug the skin at the area to open the lymphatic terminals, allowing lymph to flow into the bloodstream. The therapy begins at the collar bones because the lymphatic system empties into the bloodstream just above the heart.  

Next, the specialist will open the lymph nodes in the head, face, neck, and shoulders by moving and tugging the device gently. Then, the lymph nodes in the armpits will be drained using the same technique. Once the specialist is done draining the lymph nodes in the armpits, they will prepare the legs to be drained by clearing the lymph nodes at the hip crease.

The specialist will then move on to the next stage, which is the abdominal portion of the therapy. They will move the device in a circular motion and gently stroke it to the direction of the collar bones. This is done to clear the exit route from the abdomen to the collar bones where the lymphatic fluid returns to the heart. Afterward, the specialist will clear the abdominal sections by moving fluids in the upper abdomen to the lymph nodes in the armpits. They will then move to the arm area, starting from the upper arms to make room for the lower arms to drain. The upper arms will be stroked gently in the direction of the heart.

The next step is draining the lymph nodes in the elbow, forearm, hand, and the back of the arm. The device will stick to the skin as it is being pulled along the arm when it encounters congested lymph.

The last step is to drain the legs. Using the same gentle motion, the specialist will stroke the legs in the direction of the heart.

You can leave the medical facility immediately after your electro-lymphatic therapy session. You do not have to stay in Bucharova any longer than you want to. It is important to note, however, that you may need more than one session. People usually get this therapy twice a week for two or three weeks to get the maximum benefit, so it is recommended that you stay in the area until you complete all of your sessions. In some cases, you can choose to do only one or two therapy sessions.

No recovery time is needed after electro-lymphatic therapy. In most cases, you can go back to your normal routine, including work, immediately after the procedure.

To get the most out of your electro-lymphatic therapy, you need to be well-hydrated. Therefore, drink extra water every day, at least for the first two days after your therapy session.

If you do not or cannot undergo electro-lymphatic therapy, you can consider manual lymph drainage as the alternative. Manual lymph drainage is a gentle type of skin massage technique that offers the same benefits as electro-lymphatic therapy. You can receive the messages from trained specialists, or learn basic drainage techniques at home.
