What Is Lymphatic Drainage Massage?
Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle, therapeutic technique designed to support the body’s natural detoxification process. Using light, rhythmic strokes, this treatment stimulates the flow of lymph fluid, helping to reduce swelling, eliminate toxins, and boost immune function. Unlike deep tissue massage, this method uses soft pressure and slow movements to target the lymphatic system just beneath the skin.
It’s especially beneficial after surgery (including cosmetic procedures), for managing lymphedema, or for anyone experiencing puffiness, fatigue, or a sluggish immune system.
