Lymphatic drainage is a type of massage that helps the lymphatic system.
The lymphatic system is comprised of a network of vessels that transport the lymph fluid towards the heart. The lymphatic system aids in the removal of waste products such as blood cells, debris, cancer cells. The lymphatic system also absorbs fatty deposits and delivers the nutrients to parts of the body where it is needed.
Lymphatic drainage is a form of gentle massage that encourages the flow of lymph circulation around the body so that a build-up of waste and debris cannot arise. Through the use of light touch and stimulation the specialist can help to ease swollen tissues and increase the body's immune function.
