Lymphatic Drainage

Description

Lymphatic Drainage is a massage technique used to improve the flow of lymphatic fluid (lymph) through the body using light, rhythmic strokes. Lymph is a fluid that is rich in white blood cells and helps fight bacteria, infection, viruses, and cancer. It carries the body's waste products to the lymph glands (nodes), where filtering and detoxification take place. Thus, the lymph and lymph glands function as the body's defense system against these invaders.

According to practitioners, improved lymphatic circulation strengthens the immune system and reduces health-related complaints. Toxins and excess body fluids are flushed more effectively from the tissues, thereby reducing pain, inflammation, and fatigue. Lymphatic Drainage is highly effective in treating lymphedema, the chronic accumulation of lymphatic fluid in the tissues, which commonly follows mastectomy surgery.
