Lymphatic drainage is a gentle, rhythmic massage technique designed to support the body’s lymphatic system—a key part of your immune system. The lymphatic system helps remove waste, toxins, and excess fluid from tissues. Unlike the circulatory system, the lymph system doesn’t have a pump, so it relies on muscle movement and manual stimulation to flow efficiently.
Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) uses light, slow, and rhythmic strokes to encourage this flow, helping your body to naturally detoxify and maintain a healthy fluid balance.
How can Lymphatic Drainage help you?
Lymphatic drainage can support your health and wellness in many ways. Benefits may include:
- Reducing swelling and fluid retention – especially after surgery, injury, or during hormonal changes
- Boosting your immune system – by helping your body eliminate toxins and pathogens more efficiently
- Easing symptoms of fatigue, brain fog, and sluggishness – by encouraging a gentle detox
- Supporting recovery – ideal post-surgery or after illness, to aid in tissue healing and inflammation reduction
- Improving skin health – by promoting circulation and reducing puffiness in the face and body
- Promoting relaxation and stress relief – the gentle movements of lymphatic massage are calming to the nervous system
Whether you’re recovering, dealing with chronic issues, or simply wanting to feel lighter and more energised, lymphatic drainage can be a nurturing and effective support for your wellbeing.
