Breast Cancer, and you.

There are 2 things you never want together.

But what does Lymphatic Drainage have to do with Breast Cancer? Well, in a short there is growing research while there is a genetic predisposition to breast cancer, a significant role is played by environmental factors. The World Health Organization calls chemical toxins the primary cause of cancer. The longer the toxins stay in tissue the higher the chance of it causing problems, whether it is a virus, bacteria or toxin.

Pesticides, industrial coolants, and even some medicines are listed as potential breast cancer contributors. These toxins can linger for years in soil, water, and air even after they are banned. But poisons accumulating in breast tissue are normally flushed by clear lymph fluid into large clusters of lymph nodes nestling in the armpits and upper chest. "because lymphatic vessels are very thin, they are extremely sensitive to pressure and are easily compressed."
