Lymphatic massage has been gaining popularity over the years and for good reason! It offers many benefits that can add to your healthy lifestyle. Here are some of the amazing things it can do for you:

With approximately 800 lymph nodes throughout the human body, it’s a complex system that helps our bodies remove wastes and fight off foreign pathogens; this system works tirelessly everyday to help us feel our best. And this is where lymphatic massage comes in. When a lymphatic massage is done it can help this system remove wastes and toxins faster.

During a lymphatic massage, the therapist can help accelerate the movement of lymph, using specific techniques to drain this fluid to surrounding lymph nodes and assist in filtering it out faster.

One crucial role of the lymphatic system is helping with our immunity.

The lymphatic system helps our immune systems with transporting immune cells through our bodies and give immune cells a place to live. If any of this lymph fluid carrying these necessary immune cells becomes stagnant, it could compromise your immunity to certain bacteria and viruses. Having regular lymphatic massage performed will help keep this fluid moving throughout your body and keep your immune system in tip-top shape.
