What is VMLD?
The Veltheim Method of Lymphatic Drainage or VMLD a unique approach that could be considered a pre-lymphatic technique as it focuses on restoring optimal movement and collection of interstitial fluid. This method is also developed by dr. John Veltheim, the founder of the BodyTalk System. VMLD is a highly effective technique that combines BodyTalk principles with lymphatic drainage. It is a gentle and relaxing treatment that can help the body to drain toxins, reduce swelling, improve joint pain, and potentially assist in detoxification and rehabilitation, even in weight loss. Like a BodyTalk Session, this method is possible to do off body and in a distance.
Potential benefits of VMLD
Improved Lymphatic Function
Generally designed to help stimulate the flow of lymphatic fluid, which may support the removal of waste products, toxins, and excess interstitial fluid from tissues. This can contribute to reducing swelling, edema, and enhancing overall lymphatic function.
Enhanced Immune Function
A well-functioning lymphatic system is essential for a strong immune response. By promoting lymphatic flow and helping to remove toxins and pathogens, the Veltheim Method may potentially support immune system function.
Improved Circulation
Lymphatic drainage techniques may enhance circulation and oxygen supply to tissues, potentially promoting wound healing, reducing the appearance of scars, and improving skin health.
Relaxation and Stress Reduction
The Veltheim Method, like other lymphatic drainage techniques, involves gentle and rhythmic movements, which can induce relaxation and reduce stress. This relaxation effect may help the body's natural healing processes by supporting parasympathetic activation.
Pain Relief
Some individuals report relief from pain and discomfort associated with conditions like fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and certain musculoskeletal issues after lymphatic drainage sessions. This effect is thought to result from the reduction of inflammation and improved fluid balance.
Detoxification
Techniques designed to optimize lymphatic flow can help the body eliminate toxins. While the body has its own natural detoxification mechanisms, lymphatic drainage may assist in this process.

.
People with Chronic or Autoimmune Conditions
Beneficial for individuals with conditions that affect lymph drainage, such as fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome, Rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and Sjögren's syndrome. These can cause inflammation and structural changes in the lymphatic system.
People with Tumors and Infections
Tumors growth near lymph nodes or lymphatic vessels can block or compress the lymphatic vessels, hindering fluid flow.
People with Immobility
Prolonged inactivity can slow down lymph fluid movement, as it relies on muscle contractions to move fluids.
