The Lymphatic system

You may have heard of Lymph Nodes when the are swollen in the neck and armpits. Lymph is a fluid in our bodies that is essential for the healthy functioning of the Immune System

The purpose of lymph drainage massage is to move the lymph fluid out of your tissues into lymph nodes where bacteria, viruses and other harmful microorganisms are destroyed. It reduces swelling, inflammation and pain and it is deeply relaxing.

Our vascular or blood system is pumped around the body by the heart.  The image shows the lymphatic system which unlike the blood system does not have a heart-like pump.

The Lymphatic System has to rely on exercise or movement of the surrounding area for the lymph vessels to circulate, collect, and filter the lymph fluid.
