LYMPHATIC MASSAGE "is a light touch technique used since the 1930s to promote health and aid recovery from certain illnesses. Also called lymphatic drainage or manual lymph drainage. It is becoming better known in the U.S. due to its benefits for breast cancer survivors. Also used to promote wellness, this gentle technique can prevent or reduce fluid retention, enhance the removal of toxins from body tissues, and support the immune system."
