The lymphatic system is an important part of the immune system that helps filter our blood, remove toxins, fight infections and absorb fats. It is our body's main defense system and is responsible for draining excess fluids and proteins from tissues and releasing them back into the bloodstream. We all have about 600 to 700 lymph nodes in our body which are all part of our lymphatic system and are responsible for filtering out all harmful substances to our body, including bacteria and viruses.
What is lymphatic massage and what are its benefits?
Lymphatic massage enhances the natural flow of lymphatic fluid, while helping to sculpt the body, face, and even restore the appearance of the skin after cosmetic surgery.
