What is a Lymphatic Massage?
A Lymphatic Drainage Therapy is a form of gentle massage that encourages the movement of lymph fluids around the body, stimulating function of the immune system, and balances the autonomic nervous system.
The fluid in the lymphatic system helps remove waste and toxins from the bodily tissues. Some health conditions can cause lymph fluid to build up. Lymphatic Drainage Therapy can benefit people with lymphedema, fibromyalgia, and other conditions.
Lymphatic drainage massage therapy is highly recommended for those who suffer from edema, inflammation, or lymphedema or have recently had surgery (including plastic surgery), have chronic swelling from an old injury, or any fluid retention. (Note: This form of massage is not recommended for those with a current infection, congestive heart failure, history of blood clots and strokes, or liver and kidney problems. If you have one of these conditions, talk with your massage therapist for options.)
​
Lymphatic massages can be scheduled for 60 or 90 minute sessions. Schedule today or call us for more information.

Do I need to change my diet?
Eating more whole-foods and drinking plenty of water helps you avoid dehydration and promotes natural drainage. Here are a few foods that have been shown to help with natural drainage and lymphatic health:
​
-
Sweet potatoes
-
Fish
-
Chia seeds
-
Flaxseeds
-
Green leafy vegetables — including spinach, kale, collard greens, and arugula
-
Extra-virgin olive oil or coconut oil
-
Berries
-
Nuts — especially macadamia and brazil nuts
-
Oats
-
Citrus
-
Bananas
Care at home:
1. Exercise. While blood is pumped by the heart, lymph fluid is squeezed through the vessels during physical activity.
​
2. Deep breathing exercises. Moving the diaphragm muscle through deep breathing also helps fluids circulate, she says.
3. Hydration.
​
4. Avoiding hot showers or baths
​
5. Prolonged sitting or standing
