Lymphatic drainage is a massage, but with different objectives to conventional massages.
Its slow, gentle movements stimulate the circulation of lymph, which then flows through the body more easily.
The lymphatic system transports lymph, which circulates throughout the body and acts as a kind of filter, removing impurities together with white blood cells. The lymphatic system is an important agent in the body’s defense against viruses and bacteria.
But when the lymph accumulates between the tissues, it can cause pain and swelling and these small edemas can disappear from the affected area with lymphatic drainage.
