    The benefits of lymphatic drainage

    Do you have circulation problems, water retention or a weakened immune system? Then maybe lymphatic drainage is for you! Lymphatic drainage is a gentle massage technique designed to stimulate the circulation of lymph, a liquid that carries toxins and waste products out of the body. But that’s not all. Here are 3 good reasons to consult a lymphatic drainage therapist.

    Strengthen the immune system

    The lymphatic system plays an important role in the body’s defence against infection and disease. The lymph nodes are responsible for producing immune cells. Lymphatic drainage can help strengthen the immune system by eliminating toxins and waste products from the body, enabling the immune cells to function better.

    Improve lymph circulation

    When lymph doesn’t circulate properly in the body, it can lead to health problems such as swelling or pain, due to water seeping into the cells. Drainage can help stimulate lymphatic circulation, which can relieve the symptoms of these problems and improve overall health. Lymphatic drainage therapists are trained to apply specific massage techniques. Circular movements are applied to move lymph to the lymph nodes, where it can be eliminated from the body.

    Reduce water retention with lymphatic drainage

    Water retention is a common problem, especially in women. It can cause swelling and pain, particularly in the legs and feet. Drainage can help reduce fluid retention by stimulating lymphatic circulation and removing excess fluid from the body. As a result, pain and swelling are reduced. Maude Robert, our expert, recommends several sessions in a row to really remedy the problem.

    In conclusion, lymphatic drainage can offer many health benefits. We’ve only mentioned three, but the list goes on. In any case, lymphatic drainage is a gentle massage technique that will make you feel light and comfortable. If you’re prone to specific problems, don’t hesitate to get in touch with a qualified therapist to find out whether this technique might be right for you.
