What Is Lymphatic Drainage Massage?
Lymphatic drainage massage (MLD — Manual Lymphatic Drainage) is an ultra-gentle, specialized technique that stimulates the lymphatic system — your body's natural detoxification and immune defense network. Using feather-light, rhythmic strokes that follow the direction of lymph flow, the therapist encourages the movement of lymph fluid, helping flush toxins, reduce swelling, and boost your immune function.
The lymphatic system has no pump (unlike the cardiovascular system with the heart), relying instead on muscle movement, breathing, and external stimulation to circulate lymph fluid. MLD provides this stimulation in a targeted, therapeutic way — particularly beneficial after surgery, for lymphedema management, and for detoxification.
