Lymphatic Detoxing Massage                                 BACK

 

Manual Lymphatic Drainage involves light, rhythmical massage that moves stagnant lymphatic fluid.  Lymphatic fluid is a substance derived from the body tissues that contain white blood cells. The lymphatic system is a separate system from arteries and veins and acts to remove bacteria and toxins from cells, as well as move damaged cells and excess fluids away from any affected areas, promoting healing.  Lymphatic fluid is then cleaned and filtered during circulation through lymph nodes and returned to the venous bloodstream where mature lymphocytes are supplied to the blood. If a lymph passage is blocked or congested due to surgery, injury, or inflammation, fluids can build up in the connective tissue leading to edema.

Unlike the vascular system, the lymphatic system is a pumpless system and lymphatic vessels are very low pressure conduits. Lymph transport is sporadic and much lower than that occurring in veins. Physical activity increases lymph flow from the milking action of active muscles. Massage stimulates the lymphatic system to quickly remove fluids and toxins away from cells to be processed and cleansed, promoting healthy lymph flow and faster healing from any blockages or congestion. Stimulation of lymphatic flow is one of the most beneficial aspects of massage.
