Lymphatic Drainage

Lymphatic drainage is a type of massage based on preliminary evidence which is hypothesized to encourage the natural drainage of the lymph, which carries waste products away from the tissues back toward the heart. The lymph system depends on intrinsic contractions of the smooth cells in the walls of lymph vessels and the movement of skeletal muscles to propel lymph through the vessels to lymph nodes and then to the lymph ducts which return lymph to the cardiovascular system. Lymph drainage uses a specific amount of pressure and rhythmic circular movements to stimulate lymph flow.  Clinical studies of MLD conclude that further study of the practice is required before recommending it as an effective health treatment.

I use only high quality herbal massage oils.
