What is a lymphatic system and lymphatic drainage massage?
Respiratory, blood, nervous, digestive, muscle - all these are systems that we regularly care about in order to exist comfortably in this world. We are engaged in breathing practices, running, balanced we eat, and still forget that there is another system that requires our indispensable attention. This is a lymphatic system. Like the other, it consists of a number of organs:
- nodes that the doctor checks at the first examination of the patient for an increase;
- capillaries and vessels piercing all our organs, each of our muscle;
- ducts and trunks - large lymph currents that are connected to the veins.
Why is this system so important? It collects and removes from all our organs lymph - a fluid with waste waste of body cells. You can easily see how lymph, or in everyday life - a sucker, appears from small wounds during healing. Now imagine: each of our cells seeks to get rid of extra, used substances daily, dumps them into the lymph system. Thanks to this unification of internal fluids, proteins, water, toxins, salt, metabolites return to the blood of a person. Passing through the liver and kidneys, it is cleansed, the waste fluid leaves the body. The purity of the internal environment of our body directly depends on the lymphatic system!
What are the symptoms of a malfunction of the lymphatic system?
- Waisted well -being, violation of sleep regime, increased fatigue and anxiety - all these side effects do not directly indicate the problem of a certain lymph nature, but significantly complicate your life and interfere with productive work.
- Sleeping arms, legs, fingers, the appearance of bags under the eyes - these are the symptoms of lymph delay in the body. Remember: you cannot fix the excess lymph in the body with diuretics! So if you regularly visit the restroom, but at the same time the swelling remains, your problem is localized in the lymphatic system.
- Pallor, the appearance on the skin of acne, pigment spots, papillomas, warts and other unpleasant formations. Thus, the lymphatic system with the help of blood capillaries in the skin gets rid of toxins.
In order for the lymph not to stagnate in the body and continue to run along the lymph flow, it is necessary to maintain constant outflow of intercellular fluid, i.e. drainage. With our own hands, we can recreate the pump mechanism for our lymphatic system, helping it increase its performance.
Indications for lymphatic drainage body massage:
- rehabilitation after operations and injuries. The faster the lymph circulates in the body, the faster metabolic processes occur in the body, cell nutrition and, as a result, their regeneration;
- maintaining muscle and skin tone. Like any other classic massage, lymphatic drainage improves blood circulation, so that muscles and skin rather return tone and elasticity, and aging processes will slow down;
- prevention and treatment of varicose veins. The edema of the legs occur mainly due to the slowdown in the lymph current. By stimulating the liphatic and blood vessels to contract, you can help them normalize the flow of fluids in the body;
- the removal of toxins and metabolic products from the body;
- creating a relief figure. Those of us who have been trying to get rid of the hated orange peel for a long time and create an accurate figure, can not do without lymphatic drainage.
How to make manual lymphatic drainage massage
A few tips before the start of the massage:
- Drive the lymphatic drainage massage in different parts of the body at least 10 minutes a day. The regularity of procedures can vary depending on your needs and capabilities, and the effect will become noticeable after 7-10 procedures.
- Lymphodrenal massage should be done on steamed moisturized skin. If the cream or oil is absorbed until the end of the procedure, apply again.
- All movements should follow according to the current of the lymph.
In order to undergo a course of lymphatic drainage, it is better to trust a professional. However, there are safe techniques of this type of massage that you can easily practice at home.

How to make lymphatic drainage facial massage at home?
- Prepare for the procedure. To do this, steam the skin of the face, peel and moisten it and apply a nutrient cream or oil.
- Start lymphatic drainage facial massage from the forehead. Attach the pillows of closed fingers to the center of the forehead and make several light strokeing movements towards the temples.
- We will move to the eye area. Here we will massage with the pads of the index and middle fingers. The initial position for this and all subsequent actions in front of the eyes is the external corner of the century, where you feel the edge of the eye socket. Attach the fingertips so that the index is above the average, and make 5-7 light circular movements (clockwise for the right eye, in the opposite-for the left) without pressure.
Attention! With lymphatic drainage massage of the eyelids, each movement should be performed on both eyes at the same time.
- We continue the massage along the protruding line of the eye socket: without stretching the skin, slightly press on the points of contact of your fingers for centuries (the position of the index and middle fingers at the starting point), then move slightly closer to the nose and press again. Repeat the movements of the upper part of the eye socket until you return to the starting position of the outer part of the eyelid. Such "jogging" around the eyes can be repeated up to three times.
- On the same trajectory, conduct the following exercise: attach the middle finger sideways (the nail looks at the ear) to the starting point and roll it along the edge to the opposite side. Continue such actions throughout the circumference of the eye, and when you go to the area above the upper age, change your finger rolls in the opposite direction. Expand the route by including an eyebrow area in it, and go again with light tapping movements.
- We continue massage on your cheeks and lips. With stroking movements, draw fingers. Repeat the movement along the lines from the corners of the mouth to the ears and from the upper lip to the temples. Each exercise should be repeated three times. To improve the lip line, make a few light clicks with fingertips on a nasolabial fold.
- In order to get rid of the second chin, draw fingers with pillows along the line from the chin to the base of the jaw. Then, pillows with the thumbs, slightly press from the bottom in the center of the jaw. Move such movements from the chin to the earlobes.
As a good completion of the morning procedure, it is recommended to dip the face into cold water for a few seconds, and then in the warm. Such contrasting washing causes narrowing and expansion of capillaries, which is an excellent charge for your face.
