Back to: Lymph drainage
Lymphatic drainage is a massage technique used to stimulate the flow of lymph in the body and eliminate toxins and excess fluid. This method can be useful for people suffering from edema, lymphedema, cellulite and other conditions that cause fluid retention in the body.
How is lymphatic drainage performed and for whom is it intended?
Lymphatic drainage is usually performed manually, with gentle movements of the fingers and hands. The technique focuses on the proper movement of lymph through the lymphatic channels, and not on the muscle fibers, as in classic massage. This technique can be useful for people who suffer from lymphedema, a condition that causes fluid retention in the body and tissue swelling. Lymphatic drainage can help reduce edema and improve lymph flow. Used for cosmetic purposes to reduce cellulite and fluid retention in the body. It can help eliminate toxins that cause cellulite and improve skin texture.
Who should not use lymphatic drainage?
However, lymphatic drainage is not recommended for all people. People suffering from heart disease, high blood pressure, thrombosis and other conditions should consult a doctor before opting for this technique. Also, lymphatic drainage must not be applied to treated skin areas that are irritated, inflamed or have wounds. The technique should only be applied by a professionally trained person. To achieve the best effect, a series of several treatments is recommended, usually one to two times a week. People using lymphatic drainage should drink enough water to help the body get rid of toxins and excess fluid.
