What is Lymphatic Drainage Massage?
Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle, rhythmic massage technique designed to stimulate the flow of lymph, a fluid that carries waste products, toxins, and immune cells, through the lymphatic system. This system is like your body’s natural cleaning and defense network.
