About
A specialized massage technique designed to encourage the natural flow of lymph, a fluid that carries waste products, toxins, and other harmful substances away from the tissues and towards the lymph nodes for filtration and removal from the body. This type of massage is typically performed with gentle, rhythmic strokes aimed at stimulating the lymphatic system.
