Inflammation and swelling hurts. It is uncomfortable, inconvenient, disabling and injurious. Sharon M. Vogel, CLT LMT, Illinois chapter chair of LE&RN Lymphatic Education & Research Network, provides a complimentary monthly Lymphormation class at 2 p.m. on the second Saturday of most months at the Vogel Institute, inside the National Lymphatic Centers. People, patients and practitioners are welcome with RSVP.

After 47 years of working with the lymph and 30 years as a licensed practitioner, Vogel teaches that chronic inflammation is sometimes diagnosed as edema, lymphedema or lipedema. Some inflammation is congenital, which make them more susceptible to stagnant or blocked lymph flow. There are natural remedies, self-care maintenance, licensed professional care by a certified lymphedema therapist  (CLT) and new microsurgeries.

Location: 3100 Theodore Ste., St. 202, Joliet (wheelchair accessible). RSVP for class or receive links to educational resources at 630-630-241-4100. For more information, visit Lymphatics.net.
