Menopause and The Lymphatic System
What is the link between lymph and the menopause?
Menopause is a normal part of the ageing process and with it comes some unpleasant side effects such as hot flushes, insomnia, depression, headaches, bloating and weight gain.
But is there really a link between the lymphatic system and our hormones?
When your body is toxin-free, it’s easier to maintain internal balance and manage stress effectively – two things you really need to ease the discomforts of menopause.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage/ Boost your immune system for the Autumn
Manual Lymphatic Drainage: an immune booster for the autumn.
As we embrace autumn and edge towards winter with its accompanying illnesses, our immune systems need to kick into a higher gear to keep us healthy. Sick co-workers, traffic, traveling on an old and dirty trains, central heating, poor ventilated spaces, are all little attacks to our lymphatic system which usually needs a boost at this time of year.
CalaBu New Treatment: Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic drainage massage, also known as manual lymphatic drainage, relieves swelling that happens when medical treatment or illness blocks your lymphatic system.
Lymphatic drainage massage involves gently manipulating specific areas of your body to help lymph move to an area with working lymph vessels.
A lymphatic drainage massage is a two-step process:
Clearing: This step releases lymphatic fluid in your tissues.
Reabsorption: This step moves your lymphatic fluid to your lymph nodes.

Pomegranate, one of the healthiest fruits on Earth.
Pomegranate is one of my favourite fruits and full of antioxidants. It's one of the best fruits to boost your immune system.
Packed with vitamin C and other immune-boosting nutrients like vitamin E, with antibacterial and antiviral properties, it's being studied for their effects, fighting common infections and viruses.
Pomegranate juice increases testosterone levels in men and women, improving sex drive.

Best massage ever! Imma is so knowledgable and attentive, the bamboo massage was fantastic, Imma worked all the areas that needed it and helped to relieve a lot of tightness. She certainly knows her stuff! The Indian head massage and facial massage were lovely and relaxing... The setting is beautiful, so calm and private.Imma’s homemade herbal tea and soap are gorgeous. I came away with lots of advice and feeling amazing! I will definitely be rebooking.
I have plenty of aches and pains from a physical job and try to exercise when I get chance. Got recommended to try the Calabu 90 mins full body hot bamboo massage .
Followed all Covid procedures and had the most fantastic massage , it was pretty intense as I asked for a hard massage, but it was exactly what my aching calfs and hamstrings needed, not to mention the knots in my shoulders. Really enjoyed the Indian head massage and hot crystal treatment. I really felt my body benefitted. Finished off by a home made herbal tea and a cuddle with the lovely husky Bo. Imma is a friendly professional lady with great knowledge of health and wellbeing, she gave me advice on breathing, sleeping and stretching exercises. Highly recommended.
Where do I start? Imma is amazing. When I arrived felt so relaxed straight away. Imma is so kind and knowledgeable in her field of massage therapy. I had a 1 hour full body massage, due to the tightness in my legs I had the bamboo treatment as Imma suggested this would help. I have been suffering due to bad posture working from home, the massage certainly helped release the tension in my muscles. I enjoyed my homemade herbal tea and a lovely greeting from the resident husky, who is so friendly. I felt relaxed in a tranquil environment. I will definitely book back and go during the winter month's for my wellbeing. Thanks again Imma . I would recommend, Imma is an excellent therapist.
Amazing experience, I have horses and suffer with MS, I walk wonky, every part of my body feels relaxed and no longer hurts. Would highly recommend to anyone and will be coming back regularly.
Received a lovely, firm and tension releasing massage from Calabu. Really enjoyed the technique and use of the bamboo sticks and massage which helped relive pressure and knots that have built up over time! Having a massage for 1 .5 hours really allows you to fully relax and enjoy the treatment. Would highly recommend especially for those who require deep tissue massage.
I had a full body hot bamboo massage with Indian head massage and I can honestly say it's one of the best massages I have had,
perfect pressure, Imma found all my tight points and worked them out. The therapy room and setting is so well appointed and relaxing
and the homemade herbal tea after was a delight. I had an amazing night's sleep and still feeling the positive effects of the massage
today.I will be booking in regular appointment to keep the tightness at bay. I would highly recommend Calabu Massage to everyone,
men and women, especially if you suffer from tight knotted muscles. Thank you Imma for a fantastic massage.
Had my first massage and booked for total bliss treatment. wow wow wow. Total bliss is exactly what is it. My recommendation is book in and find out, this goes beyond a massage, it's an entire experience. Sometimes there are no words, sometimes we just need to find out for ourselves, you won't be left disappointed. Thank you once again.
