It circulates through the body, transporting immune cells where they are needed. Lymph passes through lymph nodes which produce new immune cells and filter out toxins and wastes. The swollen glands you feel when coming down with a virus are your lymph nodes working.

The therapy uses light, rhythmic touch to enhance lymph circulation. This improves the flow of immune cells, making it easier for the body to fend off disease and infection. Increased lymph circulation also helps reduce the body’s load of wastes and toxins.

This frees up resources that your body can use for tissue repair and maintenance, keeping you healthy.

What is a session like?

As many lymph vessels are just under the skin, moving the lymph requires a very light touch, barely the weight of a teaspoon of water. Therapists use flat hands and finger pads in painless, rhythmic movements to gently promote lymph circulation through the lymph nodes.

Most people experience lymphatic drainage as deeply relaxing. It is possible to feel light headed following a session and it advised to drink at least 6 glasses of water over the next 12 hours to replenish fluid and assist detoxification. Many people report feeling rejuvenated, invigorated or simply lighter in the hours or days following a lymphatic drainage session.
