Lymphatic Drainage Therapy(LDT), also known as Manual Lymphatic Drainage(MLD), is a form of massage therapy specifically targeting the lymphatic system to correct imbalances and promote optimal function. The technique involves light pressure explicitly applied in the direction of the lymph flow to stimulate increased lymphatic fluid movement throughout the whole body, specifically in areas of dysfunction.
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy is known for its ability to help move stagnant fluids from the body.
There are many causes of body fluid stagnation, both chronic and temporary, which Lymphatic Drainage Therapy can treat. The most common of these are post-surgical swelling and chronic Lymphedema. Still, while treating edema and fluid stagnation may be the most commonly known benefits of Lymphatic Drainage Therapy, there are many other benefits to LDT. These include assistance in detoxing and regenerating tissues compromised by burns, injuries and surgery; stimulation of the immune system; treatment of chronic inflammations such as sinus and bronchitis; help with symptoms of chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and chronic pain; and the promotion of deep relaxation for the treatment of insomnia, anxiety, and stress.

In the month of September of last year, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a resolution through which, as of September 1ST, Venezuelan citizens who are irregular in Ecuador, could register on the website estoyaqui.ec, and after that registration they could apply for a temporary visa.
The same resolution is provided for the citizens of the rest of the nationalities as of November 16th, 2022, the same registration can be made at the same website estoyaqui.ec, but unfortunately there is still not an option for obtaining any type of visa.
According to officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Azogues, the Quito offices are working to draw up a regulation that allows people of other nationalities that are not Venezuelans to obtain a visa, fulfilling the requirement of registration on the aforementioned site.
According to the Department of Migration, the registration of foreign citizens who are irregular in Ecuador can be done until August 31, 2023.
If you are irregular at the moment, go and register on the website estoyaqui.ec, this will be a requirement for your visa application, or if you want to leave Ecuador the registration certificate the Migration department provides you will be enough so that you can be exempt from any migratory penalty.

In the vibrant city of Cuenca, “Bill”, a new client and expatriate, embarked on his journey with enthusiasm, recognizing the necessity of securing health insurance. After encountering difficulties in finding suitable coverage, he discovered our services and promptly obtained a Major Medical Expenses insurance plan with a $5,000 deductible.
Merely two weeks into his insurance coverage, Bill faced a grave health crisis—a severe infection in his knee prosthesis, classified as a pre-existing condition, but excluded because it was an infection. This unforeseen turn of events subjected him to excruciating pain but also posed a significant risk of sepsis. Bill underwent urgent surgery at Monte Sinai Hospital, performed by a leading orthopedic surgeon. Although the operation was successful, the ensuing expenses surpassed the coverage limit, compounded by the need for a costly antibiotic priced at $2,500 USD.
Post-surgery, the process of reimbursement commenced. Despite the initial apprehension regarding coverage limitations, Bill’s claims were efficiently processed without impediments, alleviating financial burdens associated with his medical ordeal.
The culmination of Bill’s health journey did not conclude with the successful surgery. A subsequent post-surgical complication resulted in another medical intervention, amplifying medical expenses. However, armed with comprehensive insurance coverage and personalized support, Bill confronted these challenges with resilience, ensuring that his health remained the top priority.
Bill’s journey epitomizes the critical role of robust health insurance coverage and attentive service in navigating unforeseen health adversities. Despite encountering daunting challenges, Bill’s proactive approach to securing adequate insurance coverage enabled him to confront his health crises with resilience and financial stability. His story serves as a testament to the invaluable peace of mind afforded by comprehensive health insurance in safeguarding individual well-being, regardless of the adversities encountered along life’s journey.
