Lymphatic Drainage: How to Free the Body from Toxins and Retention
Lymphatic drainage is one of the most powerful techniques for detoxifying the body and reducing fluid retention. Discover how the lymphatic system works and why this technique is key for recovery and wellbeing.
The lymphatic system
Unlike the blood circulatory system, the lymphatic system has no pump of its own. It depends on muscle movement, breathing and massage to flow. When it becomes sluggish: fluid retention, heaviness, cellulite, chronic fatigue, weakened immunity.
The technique
Manual lymphatic drainage, developed by Emil Vodder in the 1930s, uses slow, rhythmic, very low-pressure maneuvers that follow lymphatic anatomy precisely: opening central lymph nodes, pumping and rotation maneuvers, reabsorption and evacuation.
