Lymph is a naturally occuring body fluid that removes waste and toxins from your internal tissues; it moves around the body in lymph vessels, passing through lymph nodes which filter out damaged cells and destroys harmful substances. When the nodes become blocked, a lymphatic drainage massage is used to get the fluid moving again. This type of massage can help reduce water retention and bloating, but it’s also frequently used in cancer treatments because it can help filter out cancerous cells. If you go for a lymphatic drainage massage don’t expect any deep tissue stimulation; lymph sits close to the skin’s surface, which means the masseuse only needs to use light pressure to encourage lymph flow. 1
