The lymphatic systemhas the ability to regenerate tissues and filter out toxins and foreign substances, recover crucial materials that have escaped from the blood and maintain a healthy immune system. Lymph Massage helps the fluids we have in the body to better circulate. This kind of therapy can help headaches, edema, lymphoma and depression.
If your ankles are swollen, or you are carrying excess fluid, you can benefit from this massage. It is a very relaxing massage as well. There are many lymph drains in the body: neck, armpits, top of the thighs, center of the chest and toward the nipples.
Massage is at the beginning of the limbs and moving backwards toward the hands or feet, sort of a backwards massage, kind of to "open the pipes" so they unclog and drain better. Drainage happens at the neck area, a soft smuddging toward the clavicle. The mid section of the chest receives a soft pumping action. The ankes are pushed up and down like a stretch. There is a slip slap behind the knees and a kind of "indian rub" along the sides of the spine, the breasts are massaged descreetly, and the limbs and arms are picked up and moved in a pumping way. You may even loose water weight right away! We clean our closets out don't we? get some "housekeeping" for youe body and maintain that immune system! Jaya
