Lymphatic Drainage Treatments After a Tattoo
Tattoos are cool. This is a universally known fact. That’s why when many teenagers turn 18, they get their first tattoo and never really stop inking afterwards. But is it really fact or just a myth?
Almost everyone has tattoos these days. There are probably more people who have tattoos than people who are bare-skinned. Getting tattoos are also really fun. Adventurous in a way, so is there a reason why you should stop?
Why should you stop with the inking?
It has been found that inking can lead to heavy metal in the liver. Even if you’re an otherwise healthy person, tattoos can lead to many toxins slowly accumulating in your body. If you’re someone who already has tattoos, chances are that you also have some heavy metals in your liver. To eliminate these heavy metals, try detox methods like herbal chelation, milk thistle and dandelions. And of course, swearing off tattoos and also alcohol for a while.
What gives tattoos their permanency can be really harmful to our bodies. The more tattoos you have, the higher the chances of you having a toxic liver riddled with heavy metals like iron mercury, arsenic, cadmium, and lead. These are the metals which are used to give your tattoos color and keep them permanent. The ingredients in black ink include a soot-like product known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon and carbon black.
What to avoid
When you’re being inked, you’re being directly exposed to these dangerous metals that have a burden on your detox organs like your liver. Many heavy metals that are found in the tattoo ink, can have long term effects on your brain. It may, in turn, also cause fatigue, brain fog, and affect other cognitive functions. If you still choose to go ahead with getting a tattoo, have a detailed talk with your tattoo artist about the safest ink they can use.
While clean eating is important, how we keep our skin is also equally important. If you think that your body also has toxins, speak to your doctor so he can help you detox safely.
What can you do?
If you want to get rid of your tattoo, there are many things you can do. One of these things is lymphatic drainage. Lymphatic drainage can have a huge impact on successful tattoo removal. Lymphatic drainage can speed up the flow of the lymphatic system found in the body, which, in turn, speeds up the expulsion of toxins and ink from your skin.
The lymph nodes are the filtering system of the body. In order to safely remove the ink and other toxins from the tattoo, you need to stimulate and energize the lymph nodes. There are some other methods that you could do in conjunction with lymphatic drainage for a more successful tattoo removal. These include exercise, dry skin brushing, and massage.
