Lymphatic drainage improves a flow of the lymph fluid washing out the toxins from your body reducing cellulite. Therapy can help with:
- Clearing toxins
- Immune system
- Cellulite
- Lymphoedema
- Inflammation
- Tissue regeneration post liposuction
Many people nowadays may be in need of a lymphatic drainage massage due to the sedentary way of living and wrong diet. It is also crucial to have a course of lymphatic drainage massages post liposuction. Lymph movement depends on muscles movement or breathing as it doesn’t have any mechanism that pushes it. Therefore lack of exercise can slow it down. This can have an effect in feeling tired more often, getting more infections than usual and causing water retention.
What are lymphatic system and lymph?
Lymphatic system mainly consists of lymphatic vessels that are connected with lymphatic nodes. That is where a lymph fluid is being filtered.
All the bacteria and viruses are being killed in lymphatic nodes. Lymph fluid clears toxins from our bodies hence reducing cellulite as toxins accumulate in the fat cells. It can also reduce any inflammations. Therefore lymphatic system plays an important role in supporting our immune system helping to deal with any diseases. Having a lymphatic drainage encourages lymph to flow and is recommended when going through a detox. The fluid called lymph takes its name from the Latin word Lympha meaning “connected to water” as it’s clear and colourless just like water. It flows only in one direction unlike blood – towards the neck. Because of that it is important to perform the lymphatic drainage massage accordingly to its flow.
