Lymphatic Drainage Massage To Facilitate Circulation And Improve Health

What is a Lymphatic Drainage Massage?
A lymphatic drainage massage is a specialized massage that encourages the movement of lymphatic fluid. The lymphatic system in the body is responsible for the removal of interstitial fluid from tissues. The lymphatic system includes the thymus, spleen, and lymphatic nodes. The thymus plays a role in the immune system. The spleen functions to recycle old red blood cells. Lymph nodes are the glands that filter the lymph. Some diseases and disorders can cause a condition called lymphedema which is characterized by extreme lymphatic fluid buildup. Lymphedema can be caused by infections, cancer treatments that involve the removal of any lymph nodes, and any other condition that damages the lymphatic system.

How Does a Lymphatic Drainage Massage Work?
In the lymphatic system a collection of lymphatic vessels and nodes work together to remove interstitial fluid from the tissues of the body back to the heart. When applying light pressure it increases the flow of the lymph, and helps to move the fluid into nearby capillaries for further drainage.

What Are the Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage Massage?
There are many benefits to receiving a lymphatic drainage massage. They include the reduction in swelling, improvement in circulation, and as a part of decongestive drainage therapy, it can improve lymphatic drainage dramatically. Decongestive drainage therapy includes a lymphatic drainage massage, a compression garment, exercise, and skin care. A lymphatic drainage massage can help individuals who suffer from fibromyalgia, skin disorders, fatigue, insomnia, stress, digestive problems, arthritis, and migraine episodes.

A lymphatic drainage is not recommended for sufferers of congestive heart failure, blood clots, kidney problems, infections, and circulation problems.
