A lymphatic drainage massage is a technique using light pressure on your body which enhances the flow of your body’s lymphatic fluid through the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system cleanses and neutralises toxins and other unwanted substances and aids in stimulating the defences of your immune system. It also plays a role in absorption of nutrients into the body including returning protein to the blood. It is involved in a myriad of interconnected roles in maintaining the homeostasis of your health.

Benefits of Lymphatic Massage are:

• Improved lymph flow

• Detoxification

• Reduction in colds and flu infections

• Improvement in energy levels

• Assistance in weight loss

• Reduces edema or swelling

• Reduces effects of stress

• Improve skin conditions

 

It should be noted, that because of the cleansing and detoxifying properties of lymphatic drainage, some after effects may be felt for 24 to 36 hours post treatment. These can include:

• Lethargy or fatigue

• Thirst and increased urination or bowel movements

• Nausea or headaches
