Lymphatic drainage massage is a special type of massage that helps the lymphatic system, which is important for the immune system and keeping fluid balanced in the body. The lymphatic system includes vessels and lymph nodes that remove waste, toxins, and extra fluid from tissues.
In this massage, a therapist uses gentle, rhythmic strokes and light pressure to promote the flow of lymph fluid. This helps improve lymph circulation and makes the lymphatic system work better.
People often use lymphatic drainage massage for issues like lymphedema, swelling after surgery, inflammation, and chronic fatigue. It can also help with relaxation, detoxification, and boosting the immune system.
