Benefits of Lymph Drainage Massage
- Helps your body fight off infection, and speeds up healing and recovery from illness
- Reduces water retention; for instance, because the lymph system has no pump, if you sit for a long time without moving, the lymph can't flow easily — this is why you may experience swollen feet or fingers
- Boosts weight loss, as improving the lymphatic system will improve your metabolic rate, which helps you burn calories more efficiently.
- Reduces swelling, puffiness and blotches
- Speeds up healing in scar tissue, so it may, for example, improve the appearance of stretch marks
- Helps to reduce cellulite; the massage increases blood flow and circulation to the affected areas, which helps the body break down the toxins which cause dimply skin.
