How does lymphatic drainage improve your circulation?

Manual lymphatic drainage is a massage technique that helps to stimulate lymph circulation, favouring the elimination of toxins and reducing fluid retention. At Body&Mind Massages, we offer specialised sessions to improve your general wellbeing. If you are looking for a natural way to take care of your body, enjoy this massage which could be the perfect solution for you.

1. How does the lymphatic system work?

The lymphatic system is key to the health of the body, as it performs essential functions for the balance of the body:

• Drainage of liquids and elimination of toxins, avoids the accumulation of liquids and helps to purify the organism.
• Immune defence, transporting white blood cells and antibodies to fight infection.
• Nutrient balance, facilitates the absorption of fats and fat-soluble vitamins.

Unlike the circulatory system, lymph has no "heart" to drive it, so it relies on muscle movement and breathing to flow. When its circulation is impaired, the body can retain toxins and fluids, causing inflammation and affecting the immune response.

The lymphatic system and its impact on health

The proper functioning of the lymphatic system has the following impact.

• Reduces swelling and prevents oedema.
• It favours the elimination of toxins accumulated in the tissues.
• Maintains a better immune system response.
• Facilitates cell regeneration and improves healing.

When the lymphatic system does not work efficiently, symptoms such as fatigue, heaviness in the legs and fluid accumulation in different parts of the body can occur.

In addition to its immune function, the lymphatic system plays a key role in digestion.

• Transporta ácidos grasos y vitaminas (A, D, E y K).
• Facilitates the absorption of essential nutrients in the intestine.
• Helps regulate metabolism and fluid balance.
