Ayurveda & Yoga for Lymphedema
Lymphedema is a whole-body experience and needs whole-body solutions.
There is so much wisdom in nature, Herbalism, Yoga, and Ayurveda that can help us manage our Lymphedema in an integrative way along side our medical care.
Self-care tracker for lymphies
Do you know what your triggers are?
Awareness of our habits is the first step to making positive changes to our health. Everything is energy, from our diet, lifestyle choices, seasons, emotions, and how we interact and process our experiences.
In as little as 5 minutes a day, track your lifestyle choices and explore how they make you feel. This small step will lead you to a healthier life by finding out how your habits affect your Lymphedema.
If you want to experience less swelling and pain, or reduce your overall inflammation, don’t wait. Start now! You are worth your time and effort.
All big things come from small beginnings. The seed of every habit is a single, tiny decision. But as that decision is repeated, a habit sprouts and grows stronger. Roots entrench themselves and branches grow.
