In a fast-paced life, it can be a challenge to prioritize jobs, family, finances and friendships, so it is paramount that one learns to consistently care for oneself. “I’m realizing more and more the importance of taking care of myself and how that enables me to help others and to be more successful in all areas of my life,” says Carolyn Olson, founder of Thermography Advantage and Certified Clinical Thermographer.

When Olson was in her 30s, she had quite a few health problems. She had to sit up to sleep due to severe acid reflux, she had hives plus joint pain and her doctors suspected lupus. Many tests later, with no specific diagnosis, her immunologist said that she was allergic to almost every food.

She began to keep a food diary and figured out that it was the preservatives and additives in the food that were bothering her. She decided to eat clean and organic, and even went to managers at local Mobile grocery stores about carrying organic foods. Some took her advice.

Olson chose Electro-Lymphatic Therapy to improve her life and is now sharing it with other people because it helps the body to heal itself. It’s noninvasive, painless and very calming and relaxing, like having a light touch massage. The certified lymphatic therapist uses an instrument that has two small handheld wands that are lightly and slowly moved across the body in the direction that correlates to the body’s lymphatic flow. Since lymphatic organs are part of the immune system, the proper flow of the lymphatic fluid can have a positive impact on many conditions, especially helping to reduce inflammation and toxins throughout the body.
