Lymphatic drainage is a therapeutic massage treatment. The massage uses very light pressure and long, gentle, rhythmic strokes to increase the flow of lymph and reduce toxins in your body. The lymph system is part of your body's immune system and helps fight infection. Lymph itself is a clear, slightly yellow fluid.
A lymphatic drainage massage is commonly used for its ability to:
-
Fight off infection.
-
Speed up healing and recovery from the cold and flu.
-
Reduce water retention.
-
Boost weight loss.
-
Improve cellulite, skin swelling, scar tissue, acne, and stretch marks.
-
Reduce stress and fatigue.
-
Help with post exercise recovery.
