About the lymphatic system
When the flow gets going again
The lymph drainage is a very light form of massage that stimulates lymph flow in the body. The lymphatic system is a slow moving system of vessels and lymph nodes that is complementary to the blood circulation system.
The lymph takes care of providing nutrients to the cells and removes excess water, it removes cell debris, bacteria, viruses and toxins.
A therapist trained in lymphatic drainage massage stimulates the lymphatic system with very light circular motions. By stimulating the lymphatic system, the therapist helps drain swollen or inflamed tissue, it strengthens the body's immune system, helps the body to recover after surgery and assists in the detoxification and the natural elimination of waste from the body.
Manual lymphatic drainage usually has a very calming and relaxing effect.
