Looking for more vitality and energy? Lymphatic Drainage can help!

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle technique designed to stimulate lymph nodes and promote the movement of lymph fluid throughout the body. This process supports the removal of waste and toxins from body tissues, aiding in detoxification. It is particularly effective in relieving symptoms associated with lymphedema and enhancing overall circulation and wellness.

 

By stimulating the lymphatic vessels, MLD aims to enhance the body's natural drainage system for more efficient fluid removal. The primary goal is to transfer fluid from areas of swelling to regions where the lymphatic system functions normally, alleviating swelling caused by medical conditions or treatments that obstruct lymph flow.

Gut Health = Overall Health

MLD is performed by a licensed and trained massage therapist using light, rhythmic movements—such as pumping, circular, and spiral techniques—that help stimulate lymph flow throughout the body.

The therapist first prepares the drainage area, then gently manipulates the skin to direct fluid toward the lymph nodes. MLD can be effective in reducing swelling in areas such as the abdomen, groin, hips, genital area, legs, and arms. It is also used as a complementary therapy for relieving psychological stress.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about Manual Lymphatic Drainage?

Learn more in these FAQ's!

Can I Do Lymphatic Drainage Massage Techniques on Myself?Yes, and the technique is straightforward. The key is to use very light pressure to gently massage the area, directing the fluid causing the swelling back toward the heart. Use your fingers to create a "C" shape and softly massage the tissues that are not swollen.
What happens to your body after lymphatic drainage massage?After your appointment, your lymphatic system will be working faster and more efficiently, remaining stimulated for the next 24-48 hours. Fatigue is the most common side effect, with clients often feeling particularly "drained" after their first MLD session.
How do I know if my lymphatic system is clogged?Swelling in part or all of the arm or leg, including fingers or toes; Nerve pain; Headaches; Fatigue; A sensation of heaviness or tightness; Limited range of motion; Frequent infections; Hardening or thickening of the skin (fibrosis)
Where does fluid go after lymphatic massage?Fluid is removed from the body’s lymphatic system through urine, saliva, and sweat.
How often should I get a lymphatic drainage massage?The recommended interval between lymphatic massages depends on individual health needs and goals. For general wellness and maintenance, a one-hour session once a month is a good guideline. However, for certain health conditions or post-surgical recovery, more frequent sessions may be necessary.
Does lemon water drain the lymphatic system?Without adequate hydration, lymph fluid cannot flow properly into its ducts. Aim to drink 12 glasses of water daily to help flush your lymphatic system. Adding lemon to your water makes it more alkaline, helping maintain a neutral pH and promoting the natural flow of lymph fluid.
