Overview

A special knowledge of lymphology and blood capillary physiology is necessary in order to explain the action of Manual Lymph Drainage. While volume 1 deals primarily with the practice of MLD, here we find the theoretical basis scientifically and thoroughly explained by a medical doctor and experienced practitioner of MLD. Without such an explanation, this new method cannot be accepted.
