The lymphatic system consists of the lymph, a colorless fluid that circulates through a system of ducts in the body. Along these ducts, the lymph glands act as “purifying stations” destroying dead cells, bacteria, and eliminating waste materials and toxins.
Lymphatic drainage stimulates the body's lymphatic system and when done in a series, will help diminish cellulite, swelling, bruising, water retention, and fatty tissue. It can aid in increasing blood circulation, and eliminating impurities and toxins from the deeper layers of the skin. Lymphatic drainage massage is found to promote healing in both pre- and post-operative situations.
