Craniosacral therapy can support brain cleaning. How is this so?


Craniosacral therapy’s primary focus is on the flow of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) that bathes the brain and spinal cord. CSF has a vital job of cleaning the brain of toxins. Every year the brain’s glymphatic system cleanses 1.3kg of toxic plaque and chemicals from the brain! As we age the flow of CSF reduces to up to 50% so this ability gets greatly diminished.


Craniosacral therapy helps to ensure there is a good flow of cerebral spinal fluid, therefore helping the brain clean itself giving you mental clarity and a supported immune system, helping you to age gracefully.
