This is a specialised full body and face massage, the main purpose of which is to speed up the lymph along its vessels to encourage elimination of toxins. It definitively is the treatment of choice for fluid retention, oedema, swellings and cellulite.
The lymphatic and the immune systems are closely related through the white blood cells and the lymph nodes, so by looking after the lymphatic system, your immune system will automatically benefit, too. Because of this, MLD should be considered before and after an operation, to strengthen the body and accelerate the healing of scar tissue.
Moreover, the major lymphatic vessel goes through the digestive system, which makes this treatment valuable for digestive complaints, too.
