The lymphatic system is responsible for regulating the immune system and riding the body of fluid and waste. It also absorbs fatty acids and fats from the circulatory system and transports white blood cells to and from the lymph nodes. Occasionally the lymphatic system can become clogged. Lymph massage stimulates the flow of fluid throughout the lymphatic system to remove harmful substances and increase the function of the immune system.

Symptoms of a clogged lymph system

When blockages occur in the lymphatic system, the body can become sluggish, tired, heavy and susceptible to infection. Aches, soreness and flu like systems can also be attributed to a congested lymphatic system. A clogged system can also lead to:

  • Joint pain
  • Arthritis
  • Fatigue
  • Depression
  • Acne
  • Frequent cold and flu symptoms

The Benefits of Lymphatic Massage

  • Lymph massage provides a variety of benefits:
  • Unblock the lymph system
  • Stimulate the initial lymphatic
  • Increase the volume of lymph flow
  • Enhance tissue regeneration
  • Rid the body of toxins
  • Enhance skin quality

The process

At Transformational Health in Palos Verdes, we use a very light pressure with soft pumping movements in the direction of the lymph nodes to stimulate the lymphatic system. It’s important to drink a lot of water after the massage to flush away the toxins.

Safety concerns

Lymph massage is general considered to be safe. However, like all massage therapies, there can be minor complications. These can include acute inflammation, malignant tumors, thrombosis and major heart problems. To get the best results from a lymphatic massage, use a qualified lymphatic massage therapist.
