BRAZILIAN LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE   -   LYMPHATIC FLOW METHOD  - TRADITIONAL MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE

Manual Lymph Drainage is a safe and gentle massage technique that encourages the natural circulation of lymph through a network of lymph vessels and lymph nodes. This lymph fluid will ultimately re-join the circulatory system and be eliminated naturally via the kidneys.

​

Unlike the circulatory system, this is a one-way system with no internal pump. It relies on diaphragmatic breathing, muscle movement, some peristaltic movement of its own and the fluid flow dynamics of a high to low pressure system.

​

Our modern lifestyles that include long periods of sitting, prolonged stress, muscular tension, poor diets and pollution and toxins from our environment, can put a burden on our lymphatic system that may result in poor lymphatic drainage. 

​

When the lymphatic system is overwhelmed in this way, it may lead to fluid retention and swelling, poor immunity, brain fog, sluggish metabolism, weight gain and a lack of vitality. 

​

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a specialised massage technique that acts like a pump for the lymphatic system, stimulating lymph nodes in the correct order, then manually moving the lymph through the vessels in the correct direction to facilitate the flow of fluid.

​

Over the years, many techniques have developed to do this, some are incredibly gentle using a feather-lite touch. Others apply more pressure, but should never be painful. All methods are deeply relaxing and offer the same benefits of enhancing the performance of a natural, vital system that is essential to our wellbeing.
