Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Description

This massage stimulates your lymphatic system, which helps to eliminate toxins. The technique involves a very light, rhythmic massage that encourages lymph (the fluid that bathes the cells) to flow more freely around the body. This helps to relieve fluid congestion, promote healing, strengthen the immune system and reduce pain. It’s particularly good for easing the fluid retention of pregnancy and the menstrual cycle.
