Lymphatic Drainage Massage

The lymphatic system plays an important part in the body’s immune system by repelling harmful bacteria, fungi and viral invaders. Lymph vessels carry a fluid, called lymph, around the body carrying harmful substances from the tissues to be exterminated in the lymph nodes. This massage stimulates the flow in the lymphatic system to help carry toxins and waste products out of the body. It can be helpful if you have a poor diet, don’t exercise enough, are dehydrated or coming down with/recovering from the flu. It is also a good treatment for people who have had their lymph glands removed or are suffering from lymphedema (fluid retention and tissue swelling).
