I have recently just learned to do the lymphatic massage. Not only did I learn how to give the massage, but I also learned how it works and how beneficial it is for the body. Lymphatic massage helps to remove the waste and detoxifies the body.
Lymphatic massage also helps with:
1) healing after surgery which regenerates the tissue to reduce scarring at surgical incision sites.
2) breast feeding because the lymph drainage massage can help to reduce the swelling of engorgement and ameliorate plugged ducts. Fixing these two problems can reduce soreness in the breasts and nipples, ultimately leading to better breastfeeding.
3) improved immune system. They state that lymph drainage massages can improve the function of the immune system and increase the production of antibodies that fight off infections. Lymph drainage massages can also reduce inflammation in the body that causes diseases such as arthritis.
4) relaxation- Lymph drainage massages can be especially relaxing because they can reduce pain levels in the body.
So not only our the benefits great for you but it also feels good!
