Lymphatic drainage on the armpits
Massaging from the upper arm towards the armpit, where major lymph nodes are located, encourages the drainage of lymph fluid from the upper limbs and chest area. This area's drainage is vital for immune function and reducing arm swelling.
Lymphatic drainage on the hands
Massage starts from the fingers with light, sweeping motions towards the wrist and up to the armpits, which aids in decreasing hand and wrist swelling. This technique is especially beneficial for individuals with arthritis or using their hands extensively.
Lymphatic drainage on the breasts
Soft, circular motions moving from the breasts toward the armpits support lymph flow and reduce swelling and tenderness in the breast tissue. This can be particularly beneficial post-surgery or during menstruation and aid overall breast health.
Lymphatic drainage of the back
Gentle strokes moving from the lower back up towards the lymph nodes located at the neck and armpits help remove waste and toxins from the back and torso.
Lymphatic drainage on the abdomen
Circular, clockwise massage around the abdomen, focusing on moving toward the lymph nodes around the groin area, stimulates digestion, reduces bloating, and enhances detoxification. This technique is essential for stimulating lymph flow in the abdominal region.
Lymphatic drainage on the legs
The massage begins at the feet and moves up the legs in gentle, sweeping motions toward the lymph nodes in the groin, reducing leg swelling and fatigue. This benefits those who stand for long periods and recover from sports injuries, promoting better leg health.

Gentle strokes starting with the toes and moving towards the ankle and up the leg encourage the removal of toxins and reduce swelling in the feet. This relieves conditions like plantar fasciitis and aids in relaxation.
Benefits of lymphatic drainage massage
One of the primary benefits of lymphatic drainage is its ability to eliminate toxins from the body. The lymphatic system is a critical part of the body's detoxification process, and enhancing its function can lead to improved health and vitality. A study in the Journal of Physiological Anthropology suggests that manual lymphatic drainage effectively reduces oxidative stress, which is linked to the removal of toxins.

Lymph is a fluid circulating in the lymphatic system, carrying white blood cells and other components of the immune system essential for fighting infections and diseases.
Lymph nodes are small glands that filter lymph, capturing bacteria, viruses, and other foreign substances, which are then destroyed by specialized white blood cells.
The lymphatic system is a crucial part of the body's immune and circulatory systems, comprising a network of lymph nodes, vessels, and channels that transport lymph – a fluid containing white blood cells and waste products – throughout the body. This system aids in filtering and eliminating toxins, dead cells, and other waste materials while simultaneously combating infections and diseases by transporting immune cells.

It's important to assist your body in eliminating toxins, so after each massage, we provide 0.5 liters of water. Drinking plenty of water helps with hydration and facilitates the lymphatic process.

Avoiding heavy foods, alcohol, and caffeine for a few hours after the massage can further optimize the benefits of the treatment.
