Lymphatic Drainage Massage Treatments
Lymphatic drainage massage is a therapeutic massage treatment that uses very light pressure and long, gentle, rhythmic strokes to increase lymphatic flow and get rid of toxins in your body. Lymph is a clear, slightly yellow fluid that flows around your body, carrying white blood cells and antibodies to your tissues and organs. These are essential to your immune system and help you fight infection. Day after day, we dump toxins into our bodies: we eat badly, we live in dirty cities full of pollution, we drink too much alcohol, eat too much sugar and our lifestyles are unforgiving and unhealthy. Your lymphatic system's job is to flush all the toxins away, and keep you healthy.
Lymphatic drainage massage boosts the flow of lymph around your body, refreshing your immune system and flushing out toxins.
What is lymphatic drainage good for?
Because lymph is so key to keeping your immune system working properly, improving its flow and drainage around the body is good for you in lots of ways. Lymphatic drainage massage can have a powerful effect on your general health:
1. It can help your body fight infection and speed up healing and recovery from illness
2. It is a popular and highly effective treatment for cellulite
3. It reduces water retention
4. It can boost weight loss
5. Manual lymphatic drainage is used in the treatment of lymphoedema
It can improve your skin texture by:
1. reducing swelling, puffiness and blotches
2. giving you clean healthy pores
3. speeding up healing in scar tissue, so it can, for example, improve the appearance of stretch marks
Lymphatic drainage may leave you feeling exhausted. It is likely you'll want to have a lie down, or at the very least, a very undemanding schedule for the rest of the day. You might like to stretch yourself to a gentle swim or a sauna afterwards. Give your body time to ease back into activity. It may also leave you feeling thirsty.
