Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a treatment that uses gentle massage techniques to help the lymphatic system effectively remove excess fluid from the body. Edema is usually caused by excessive lymph fluid accumulation in the body that cannot be drained normally, especially when sitting for a long time, after surgery or with certain diseases. Manual lymphatic drainage helps reduce edema and restore the body's normal fluid balance by promoting the flow of lymph fluid.
During manual lymphatic drainage, the masseur uses gentle, well-directed techniques to guide lymph fluid along the lymphatic vessels to the lymph nodes, thereby accelerating the removal of excess fluid from the body. These techniques not only promote the flow of fluid, but also improve local blood circulation, reducing swelling and discomfort caused by edema. Especially for lower limb edema and facial edema, lymphatic drainage can significantly reduce swelling and improve skin firmness.
In addition, manual lymphatic drainage can also enhance the function of the immune system and promote the removal of toxins in the body. It has a significant effect on patients with long-term edema. It is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment for those who have swelling caused by prolonged sitting, standing, recovery from surgery or pregnancy. Regular manual lymphatic drainage not only relieves swelling, but also provides a relaxing and stress-relieving effect, helping the body restore its natural balance.
