Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic Drainage: Promoting Healing and Detoxification
Lymphatic drainage is a therapeutic technique designed to promote the natural drainage of lymph fluid from the tissues and into the lymphatic system. This gentle, non-invasive therapy helps reduce swelling, improve circulation, and enhance immune function. Lymphatic drainage is commonly used to treat a variety of conditions, including lymphedema, post-surgical swelling, and detoxification.
Understanding the Lymphatic System
The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in the body’s immune system and fluid balance. Lymph fluid, containing white blood cells and waste products, circulates through the lymphatic vessels, filtering out toxins and pathogens. Lymphatic drainage stimulates this circulation, helping to remove excess fluid and waste from the body.
