Lymphatic Drainage

Lymphatic drainage (also known as 'manual lymphatic drainage' MLD) is light form of massage, which stimulates the body's lymphatic system. The massage acts as a delicate pumping technique that drains lymph nodes of water and trapped toxins. While is is promoting the removal of toxins, the massage also strengthens the immune system and soothes and relaxes.

Lymphatic drainage is a gentle, rhythmic massage, which stimulates the lymph nodes to open and drain. When you visit Gardens Acupuncture and Wellness Center, you will experience a treatment itself is very relaxing, comfortable and non-aggressive and non-invasive.

Lymphatic drainage massages can be useful people who suffer from cold/ flu, viruses on a regular basis by stimulating the immune system.

Lymphatic drainage helps remove the build up of toxins (metabolic waste) which in turn can lead to re-occurring illnesses (cold, flu etc) and feelings of sluggishness due to a depressed immune system. By undergoing Lymphatic drainage, the natural circulation and movement of toxins and fluids through the lymph ducts can be stimulated and helped. This stimulation strengthens the immune system, clears blockages, transports nutrients to cells and helps the metabolism and overall health.
It is also helpful for people who need to reduce swelling and fluid retention due to poor circulation from sedentary lifestyles, pregnancy etc. Because the therapy uses only gentle pressure it can also be used to stimulate the body's own healing processes for sprains, fractures and rheumatism.
