Lymphatic drainage is a form of specialised massage that stimulates the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is part of the body's immune system helping it to fight inefection. It consists of lymph fluid which transports nutrients and oxygen around the body as well as collecting toxins on the way and flushing them out through the lymph nodes. This system relies on neighbouring movement of muscles and pressure from blood vessels to pump the fluid around the body.
How lymphatic drainage massage can help me
Stimulating the lymphatic system can cause a whole host of benefits. It increases the metabolic rate, therefore promoting weight loss as you’re burning calories more efficiently. Swollen feet and ankles from sitting for long periods of time can happen due to lymph not being able to flow easily, stimulating the lymph can reduce this water retention. It boosts the immune system helping quicker recovery from illnesses. Appearance of stretch marks are improved since it speeds up the healing process as well. It can reduce cellulite as it increases blood flow to the areas and removing toxin.
