The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in removing waste, toxins, and excess fluids from body tissues. When tissue trauma occurs, this system helps reduce swelling through lymph node drainage and the movement of lymphatic fluids.
Under normal conditions, the lymphatic fluid transport rate is about 60 ml per minute. After a lymphatic drainage massage, this rate can increase to up to 100 ml per minute, promoting faster detoxification and recovery.
How Does Lymphatic Massage Work?
This treatment uses gentle, rhythmic movements to stimulate lymph flow toward the heart. The technique is soft and soothing, designed to enhance circulation and support the body’s natural healing process.
When Is Lymphatic Massage Most Beneficial?
- After an injury with swelling
- Following a swollen insect bite
- To relieve muscle tension that disrupts lymph flow
In fact, lymphatic massage is beneficial even before physical activity, such as working with horses. It improves blood circulation and acts as a natural warm-up for the body, reducing the risk of strain.
