Since the lymphatic system does not have a heart to move lymph fluid through the body, it depends on various other bodily functions to achieve this. There are approximately 6 to 10 liters of lymph in the body, compared to 3.5 to 5 liters of blood.

Muscle contraction and movement, breathing, the pulse of adjacent blood vessels, external stimulation like massage and dry skin brushing, sufficient hydration, fresh air and sunshine and a healthy, organic, mainly raw diet,  are all necessary for an optimally functioning lymphatic system.

The SA CALLANETICS PROGRAMME is especially effective due to the unique technique of tiny, ‘pulsing’, three-dimensional muscle movements, which work the deepest muscle layers intensively, therefore greatly stimulating lymph flow and drainage. In addition heart rate and breathing increase which further aids the lymphatic system.
