Restricted Drainage
Oxygenated blood is pumped into the head by the heart. Some of this
blood is filtered in the head to form the specialised fluid that
bathes and supports the brain and spinal cord. This fluid is called
Cerebro Spinal Fluid.
When the blood has been used up and
needs to return to the lungs for re-oxygenation it relies on clear
channels of drainage to leave the head freely. There is nothing
in the head bumping the blood back out.
If the channels of drainage are restricted
it can lead to a build up of pressure in the head which, in turn,
puts pressure on the brain. This can manifest as a feeling of the
head being continually overfull.
Also because the blood is not leaving
the head as quickly as it should it can cause feelings of vagueness
or a fuzzy quality in the head because of the head being full of
slightly stagnant blood all the time.
The channels of drainage from the head
are part of the cranio sacral system. Some of these channels are
minute. Finding restrictions and assisting them to release can substantially
improve the drainage of blood from the head.
See thie case history as an example
of the effects of restricted drainage.
