Lymphatic massage is a pleasant and very useful procedure

Anyone who is at least superficially familiar with human anatomy knows that the immune system is a complex of protective factors, which also includes lymphatic vessels, nodes and lymph produced by them. And the more active the lymph flow circulates, the better the protective properties of our body, the faster healing of wounds and fractures, the excess fluid leaves the body. Active lymph circulation is promoted by regular exercise, hardening and, of course, lymphatic massage, more about which is written below.

How to do lymphatic massage?

Despite the fact that visually the technique of this massage can seem easy and relaxing, in fact, it is quite a powerful procedure that affects not only the muscles and skin, but also the whole organism.

To perform this procedure, the masseur should be well versed in the location of the lymph nodes. Movements should not be sharp and very pressing, otherwise harm can be caused instead of the expected benefit.

Massaging should take place in a warm room, without the use of special lubricants. The person should be relaxed, for this purpose before a session it is necessary to make ten deep breaths.

So, massage should begin with working out of cervical and thoracic and axillary units. To do this, first feel for the first group and lightly press the fingers, the patient must breathe slowly and deeply. We do the same with the rest of the lymph nodes. If desired, in addition to pressure, you can also make easy slow stroking of the patches.

Now we pass to the abdomen and groin area, since it is in these places that a large accumulation of small lymph nodes is concentrated. In this case it is necessary to work no longer with your fingers, but with your entire palm. Movements should be in a slow rhythm of a pressing character, while manipulation is necessarily accompanied by a deep breathing massed. The development of each area should last for 10-15 minutes.

Foot lymph massage

The technique of performing this massage is somewhat different from the top, since now the task of the masseur is to cause the outflow of lymph in the legs. This procedure is excellent in the treatment of varicose veins, vascular networks and swelling of the legs. Thanks to the outflow of lymph, the thighs lose a little in volume, which is perfect for correcting the figure. The mass begins with the upper part of the hip. With fingers and the base of the palm, the massage therapist should lightly squeeze the skin. Manipulation must be done slowly and smoothly.

With full technique of performing lymphatic massage of legs and whole body you can see in this video. To achieve good results, the general course of this massage should consist of 15-18 sessions. And in the first 2-3 weeks they need to be performed once in seven days, eventually increasing the number of sessions.

As you have already understood, it is not necessary to take expensive medications to restore the lymphatic system. It is enough only to perform regular lymph node massage with an experienced specialist.
