Cellulite and/or fluid retention

This is a type of body fat found almost exclusively in women, and generally collects on the thighs and looks a little lumpy, often referred to as orange peel skin. Normal dieting doesn’t usually make that much difference, to this type of condition.

Many toxic substances are not dissolved in water so the kidneys are unable to deal with them all (especially when it has too much to deal with) and remove them efficiently. If you’re liver is also not coping so well, these compounds build up in your body, so the excess is stored in your fat cells. Like a toxic reservoir. You may not like the appearance but it’s safer there.

The organs may be struggling due to the sheer volume of toxins you are exposing yourself to. These fat cells will accumulate water in a bid to dilute this toxic build-up/overload. Fluid retention and a whole host of other problems can result.

The liver will send waste and toxins via the gall bladder to be removed by the large intestines. Constipation will allow re-absorption of these toxins back into the blood stream for the liver to deal with again – called auto-intoxification, more on this subject later.

Lymphatic massage, regular massage, aromatherapy massages, body scrubs and wraps have been used for decades to treat cellulite, fluid retention, toxic overload, combined with good nutrition, work to reduce toxicity.

At home self help - dry body brushing is a great tool for moving lymph in the lymphatic system. This will help reduce fluid retention and eliminate toxic waste that accumulates, reducing cellulite.
