What is Lymphatic Drainage? Why It's Important And How A Massage Can Help

If you've ever felt like you have a knot in your stomach, or if you have trouble digesting certain foods, then you might be interested in learning about lymphatic drainage massage. This type of massage is often used to help people with chronic pain who don't respond well to other treatments. Lymphatic drainage massage uses gentle pressure along the body's lymph nodes and blood vessels to drain excess fluid from the tissue and prevent swelling.

First, what is the lymphatic system?

Lymphatic drainage is a type of massage that aims to improve the flow of lymph fluid and reduce swelling. These benefits can be achieved through manual manipulation, but there are also machines that use suction techniques to stimulate the flow of lymph fluid.

The lymphatic system is part of the circulatory system, but it functions differently from veins and arteries. The main difference between them is how they transport nutrients and waste products: while blood vessels send oxygenated blood throughout your body, lymphatic vessels carry non-oxygenated or "deoxygenated" tissue fluids from tissues back toward your heart (aka back into circulation). As its name suggests, this process helps remove excess water from tissues so that any built-up toxins can be expelled in urine or feces. It also helps maintain proper body temperature by cooling you down during hot weather and warming you up during cold weather - so if you're feeling hot or cold at different times of year, odds are good that your lymphatics could use some assistance in working correctly!

The lymphatic system is an important part of your circulatory system.

The lymphatic system is an important part of your circulatory system. It's responsible for transporting lymph fluid throughout the body, and it can be affected by a number of conditions including obesity, poor diet and lack of exercise.

The lymphatic system has two main roles:

• 1 - With the help of white blood cells called lymphocytes, it fights against infections (also known as "lymphocyte activity").
• 2 - It transports components of the plasma to filters inside our tissue called "lymph nodes," where they are filtered and then returned to circulation (also known as "lymphocyte circulation").

It helps with proper digestion and keeping the rest of the body healthy.

Lymphatic drainage helps with proper digestion and keeping the rest of the body healthy. Not only does it play a role in immune system function, but it also helps remove toxins from your muscles. When you have an effective lymphatic system, you are more likely to have better muscle movement and less pain overall.

This is especially important for athletes who perform regular cardiovascular exercise such as running or swimming because these activities increase blood circulation which leads to faster removal of waste products like lactic acid from your muscles.

The lymphatic system does not have a pump to push fluid through it.

The lymphatic system is part of the circulatory system, but it's unlike other parts of the body in a few ways. For one, it doesn't have a pump to push fluid through it. Instead, fluid flows on its own as gravity pulls it down into your legs and feet. This makes sense because when we're not standing, there isn't any pressure pushing blood from our legs back up to our heart (which could cause swelling).

The lymphatic system is also different from other parts of your circulatory system in that it has no valves - the veins do - which means that fluids can flow both ways: toward the heart and away from it. This means that if you get something caught in one of your veins (like an infection), your body will naturally be able to push that infection out through either direction - in or out!

Finally, because this network of vessels isn't connected directly with blood vessels like arteries are (instead running alongside them), they don't have any way to push toxins out quickly enough; so instead they use lymphocytes as their defense mechanisms against viruses/bacteria/etcetera by isolating them within white blood cells until they die off naturally over time or become immune to whatever was hurting them priorly (such as food allergies).

So, in order for your lymphatic fluid to circulate, muscle movement is needed.

So, in order for your lymphatic fluid to circulate, muscle movement is needed. You might be thinking: "I already use my muscles every day!" But you might not be giving them enough credit. You're probably sitting at a desk all day long and sitting up straight means you're putting pressure on your back. The solution? Regular exercise!

Exercises that support proper lymphatic flow include lunges, squats and even pushups because they allow for plenty of range-of-motion activity in the upper body. When you lift weights or perform aerobic activities like running or cycling on a regular basis these movements help pump out toxins from the body through sweat produced by glands located within muscles (called eccrine sweat glands).

In addition to muscle movement, the immune system also benefits from lymphatic drainage.

The lymphatic system plays a vital role in the body's immune system, as it helps to remove toxins from the body. It can be described as a series of vessels that carry lymph (a clear liquid containing white blood cells) throughout your body. Lymph nodes serve as filters for the fluid, removing debris and other substances such as bacteria before returning it to circulation through another part of the lymphatic system or back into your bloodstream.

Lymphatic drainage occurs when this fluid is manually pushed out of tissues through gentle massage or compression; this process helps improve circulation by clearing away excess fluid retention caused by too much stress on those particular areas. When you feel tightness or soreness after exercising, try massaging these areas with a little bit of pressure - you may be surprised at how much better you feel after just one session!

With a weakened or underdeveloped lymphatic system, your body will have difficulty eliminating toxins.

With a weakened or underdeveloped lymphatic system, your body will have difficulty eliminating toxins. These toxins can build up in the body and cause problems as they circulate through your cells. This is because a healthy lymphatic system allows for the removal of harmful substances from circulating throughout your body. In other words, it helps to keep you healthy by keeping harmful substances out of your blood stream.

One example of this is heavy metals like lead that are ingested through food or water. Heavy metals can cause serious health problems if they accumulate over time, and they're usually eliminated by being filtered out through urine or sweat (or both). But when there isn't enough flow in the lymphatic system, these heavy metals don't get filtered out properly - and instead begin building up inside our bodies where they can do major damage!

Lymphatic drainage massage can help ease symptoms and improve your health.

When you see a massage therapist, they're not just aiming to make you feel good. They're also working to improve your health! And one of the ways that they can do this is by performing lymphatic drainage massage.

Lymphatic drainage massage can help with proper digestion and keeping the rest of your body healthy. It helps with the immune system and even the elimination of toxins from your body, too! That means it can be an important tool in helping you fight off illness or prevent it altogether - and it may even help improve symptoms if you already have an illness like allergies or asthma.

Learn how lymphatic massage can help with proper digestion and keeping the rest of the body healthy

If you're not familiar with lymphatic drainage massage, it is a form of bodywork that uses manual and gentle movements to improve the function of your lymph system. This can help with proper digestion, as well as other health benefits such as reducing swelling or improving skin health.

Benefits Of Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Lymphatic drainage massage helps improve immune system function: The lymphatic system is responsible for removing excess fluid from tissues and transporting it back into the bloodstream where it can be filtered out by the kidneys. When this process doesn't work properly due to poor diet or stressors in one's life, inflammation can occur which leads to many chronic diseases like high blood pressure or diabetes type 2. Lymphatic drainage helps reduce inflammation in order to keep your body healthy and strong!

Conclusion

The lymphatic system is an important part of your circulatory system. It helps with proper digestion and keeping the rest of the body healthy. The lymphatic system does not have a pump to push fluid through it, so muscle movement is needed for proper circulation. In addition to muscle movement, the immune system also benefits from lymphatic drainage massage therapy
