This type of massage aims to help the body maintain proper blood circulation, body fluid balance, and immune functions.

The lymphatic system contains vessels and nodes with lymph, a mixture of proteins, water, waste products, and immune system elements. Located throughout the body, lymph nodes filter all this debris. The largest nodes are in the neck, groin, and armpits. They all work together to make sure “clean” lymph is transported back to the veins that carry blood toward the heart.

Lymphatic drainage massage can help treat several health problems. Some conditions can benefit more from the massage than others. Studies have found that lymphatic drainage massage may be beneficial to ease symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis or Fybromyalgia, to name a just a few.
