Lymphatic drainage
Lymphatic drainage massage is a massage therapy technique that involves gentle massages on different areas of the body with the aim of improving lymph circulation and, consequently, the lymphatic system. The purpose of this technique is to enhance the automatic contraction of the lymphatic vessels, helping to eliminate edema and other disorders resulting from poor lymph circulation.
Who is lymphatic drainage recommended for?
Due to its anti-edematous and analgesic action, lymphatic drainage is particularly indicated to reduce the "orange peel" effect of cellulite and to treat post-surgical edemas or scars. Additionally, it boosts the immune system response, improving the body's defense mechanisms, and stimulates the reduction of inflammation in infectious or post-surgical processes.
Benefits of Lymphatic drainage
Some of the benefits provided by this technique are:
- Reactivates lymphatic circulation and helps eliminate excess fluids and waste substances from the body.
- Has an analgesic and relaxing effect.
- Reduces inflammation caused by fluid retention.
- Regulates muscle tone.
- Contributes to improving the body's defenses by promoting the function of lymph nodes.
- Enhances the appearance of the skin and combats conditions such as cellulite or acne.
- Has a relaxing effect on the nervous system, relieving stress and anxiety, and also alleviates the effects of conditions such as migraines and dizziness.
- Improves blood circulation (the lymphatic system complements the circulatory system) and helps eliminate problems associated with poor circulation, such as varicose veins.
- Stimulates kidney function.
Is lymphatic drainage suitable for everyone?
Although lymphatic drainage helps detoxify the body from tissue waste products, it is not recommended in certain situations. Therefore, it should not be performed if you have:
- Decompensated heart failure.
- Blood clots.
- Cardiac edema.
- Congestive heart failure.
- Skin infections.
- Acute inflammation caused by pathogenic microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, viruses).
- The microorganisms could spread through manual lymphatic drainage, resulting in blood poisoning (sepsis).
