Lymphatic drainage massage stimulates the lymph flow throughout the body by way of light pressure and gentle movements. Also known as manual lymphatic drainage massage, it is designed to restore the functions of your body’s immune system and treat a variety of health concerns.
The massage moves the lymph fluid in a way that the organs will be able to get the toxins out of the body effectively. With rhythmic hand strokes, the lymphatic system is re-stimulated and the flow of lymph fluid in your body is improved.
Since it is extremely important that the pressure on lymph capillaries be light and gentle, only a licensed and trained professional should be trusted to give you a lymphatic drainage massage.
Benefits:
Here are a few ways lymphatic drainage can help you:
Immune System:
Lymphatic drainage can enhance your immune system by targeting the lymph nodes in your body. Lymph nodes are present in your groin, under-arms, under the throat, and around your breasts, and their function is to cleanse your blood.
Thanks to the lymphatic drainage massage, the blood and fluid circulation in the lymphatic system get re-stimulated and as a result, it detoxifies your body. In other words, reduces suffering from any infections, flu, and body inflammation.
Reduce Stress, Anxiety, and Fatigue:
To be honest, any massage when done by an experienced professional can reduce your stress levels but lymphatic drainage takes destressing to a whole other level. By applying pressure on certain parts of your body, this massage reduces any soreness, pain, or cramps almost immediately.
If you struggle with panic attacks, anxiety, depression, or stress on a regular level, you will find yourself feel amazingly relaxed and rejuvenated after a lymphatic drainage massage.
Help With Breastfeeding:
If you are a new mom and want to breastfeed your bundle of joy as effectively as possible, lymphatic drainage can help with that too. Studies show that a whopping 92 percent of new mothers experience one issue or another while breastfeeding that makes the experience painful and uncomfortable.
Lymphatic drainage massage will help reduce nipple swelling enhance the functioning of plugged nipple ducts so you don’t feel any pain or discomfort while breastfeeding the baby.
Unblemished and Glowing Skin:
It has shown to reduce conditions like acne and eczema, and diminish the appearance of scars as well.
The massage helps open the pores on the skin, which then receive the specially formulated blend of essential oils. This rehydrates your skin, leaving it softer and brighter.
Migraines and Chronic Pain:
Do you suffer from bouts of migraine or chronic pain? The pain is bad enough but it can also hinder your ability to perform routine activities and enjoy life!
A lymphatic drainage massage every few weeks can get rid of that pain for good. The repetitive motions during the massage have a pain-relieving effect and you’ll notice the results after one session. The calming effect induced by the massage reduces the pain signals that get sent to your brain, reducing the intensity and frequency of the pain.
