Explain how fluxion from heat treatments can assist in helping tissues heal

What will be an ideal response?

The increased blood flow (called fluxion) brings more blood cells and nutrients to the area and transports cell debris and other wastes away from the area. This is an important aspect of tissue health and healing. Erythrocytes bring more oxygen to the tissues; leukocytes combat infection in the tissues by eating cell debris and pathogens; thrombocytes can form a clot to seal off any damaged blood vessels that are leaking blood and need repair.
