Lymphatic Massage
Lymphatic massage, also known as manual lymphatic drainage, relieves swelling that happens when medical treatment or illness blocks your lymphatic system. Lymphatic drainage massage involves gently manipulating specific areas of your body to help lymph move to an area with working lymph vessels.

After Care
Loosen tight clothing – this inhibits lymph flow
Increase the amount of water you drink over the next few days – the body will be in a state of high toxicity for a few days after the treatment
Reduce your caffeine intake (coffee, tea, fizzy juice)
Avoid hot baths, saunas etc for a couple of hours
Avoid alcohol for 24 hours
Cut down smoking
Make time to rest and relax – this allows the blood pressure to return to normal if it has dropped during the treatment (this often happens)
Regular (but not too strenuous) exercise helps with the muscle contraction, therefore the lymph flow
Deep diaphragmatic breathing also helps to promote healthy lymph flow. Around 10-15 minutes a day with legs elevated is beneficial for lymph congestion.
Diet is important; a light diet of raw foods is recommended so that the body does not need to concentrate on sluggish digestion. Remember, low sodium diets are recommended for a healthy lymphatic system – poor diets are a contributing factor to poor lymphatic drainage
How Does IT Work
Lymphatic massage, or manual lymphatic drainage as it is also known, can help the body to maintain proper blood circulation, body fluid balance and immune function.
It’s a massage technique that works to encourage the natural movement of lymph fluids, with studies suggesting it may help people with the following health conditions:
Rheumatoid arthritis
Lymphedema (swelling in the legs, feet or arms)
Fibromyalgia (a long-term condition that causes inflammation, discoloration of the skin and swelling)
Chronic venous insufficiency (when leg veins don’t allow blood to flow back to the heart, causing blood to pool in the legs)
