  • Patent number: 6676686
    Abstract: A method is provided for treating disease and alleviating pain associated with the lymphatic system in a living mammalian body. The method generally relates to a noninvasive method for alleviating a disorder associated with a portion of the lymphatic system, e.g., a lymph node in a living mammalian body, wherein the treatment involves lymphatic activation characterized by localized pulsations at the closest exterior body surface to the activated portion of the lymphatic system. The activation involves placing a stimulation source in physical contact with the closest exterior body surface. In addition, an opposing body surface with respect to the closest exterior body surface is contacted simultaneously with the stimulation source. The stimulation source transfers energy to the affected portion until the localized pulsations substantially subside and/or lymph obstruction is substantially eliminated. This noninvasive method is particularly suited for pain relief and healing.
