Lymphatic drainage is a natural function of the human body. Lymphatic drainage body massage aids the flow of these fluids.

The human body needs the lymphatic system to work optimally in order to be healthy and maintain a strong immune system. Lymph is a clear fluid produced by the lymph nodes that performs several vital functions. Cell detoxification, transport of certain fats, and immune system maintenance are a few of the many functions. This is often called the silent system which works to keep us well.  When the system is congested, for any reason, the body ceases to function at its best.

The lymphatic drainage massage is a technique designed to aid the flow of lymphatic fluid throughout the body’s protective systems of vessels and nodes. With gentle massage strokes the therapist encourages the flow of vital lymph fluid throughout the vessels. This systematic body cleansing produces a sensation of lightness and vitality, occasionally even during the massage itself as fluids flow through congested areas. This type of massage is also known to induce healing after surgery and can benefit a wide range of symptoms. Useful for both healthy individuals and those who have medical needs.

Please make sure to consult your doctor or the therapist before considering this lymphatic drainage body massage as people with the following illnesses should avoid manual lymphatic drainage: cancer and malignant diseases, tuberculosis, acute inflammation, thrombosis and phlebitis, cardiac problems, high or low blood pressure, and hyperthyroidism.
