Lymphatic drainage relieves swelling that occurs when illness or medical treatment clogs your lymphatic system.
It involves gently manipulating specific areas of your body to move excess fluid buildup away from your tissues and toward working lymph vessels and lymph nodes so they can get rid of toxins in your body.
Lymphatic drainage is mainly used to relieve lymphedema after breast cancer surgery. It’s also helpful for health conditions like:
- Chronic venous insufficiency
- Fibromyalgia
- Injury
- Lipedema
- Rheumatoid arthritis
Lymphatic drainage is also a popular cosmetic treatment. Facial lymphatic drainage may increase blood circulation and reduce puffiness in your face.
Lymphatic drainage benefits may include:
- Immune system support
- Reduced fluid retention
- Relief from neuropathy
- Stress management
Lymphatic drainage is contraindicated for anyone with: tuberculosis, bacterial/viral/fungus infections, open wounds, thrombosis, and heart, kidney or liver failure.
