What is pressotherapy and how does it help to cope with the hated edema?

Summer, hot, good mood, fresh tan and … constant swelling. Ah yes, this is the main drawback of the summer period.

In the heat, the legs swell even in absolutely healthy people. The main reason that causes such a change in the body is associated with a violation of the lymphatic system – it removes fluid, supports immunity, helps hormones and nutrients reach the organs. If for any reason the lymph flow slows down, the general state of health deteriorates quite quickly and edema appears.

There are several surefire ways to deal with edema.

First, drink more water. Dehydration retains moisture in the body and further increases swelling. It is better to abandon soda and juices (they do not quench thirst well) and drink water, herbal teas, unsweetened compotes.

Second, use lymphatic drainage cosmetics. For example, Marutaka Amble foot gel with algae extract and menthol. It pleasantly cools tired legs, and also strengthens and tones the walls of blood vessels, thereby contributing to the prevention of varicose veins.

And finally, thirdly, resort to pressotherapy, a special type of hardware massage in which compressed air acts on the body. This procedure creates a rhythmic pressure drop and thus stimulates microcirculation and lymphatic drainage.

There are many devices with which you can perform this procedure – one of them is Marutaka Doctor Life SP-3000. It not only effectively fights edema, but also reduces the extra centimeters and signs of cellulite on the hips, waist and arms, helps to recover faster after active sports and serves to prevent varicose veins. It’s not just for the summer, is it?

By the way, earlier such a procedure was carried out only in sanatoriums and private clinics, but now it is available to everyone. The age of technology and progress has saved us from many ailments, including edema.
