The Lymphatic System and the Importance of Lymphatic Drainage Massage
The lymphatic system is part of the immune system and circulatory system. Composed by veins and lymph nodes strategically localized, the lymphatic system is responsible for collecting and draining metabolic waste, toxins and water excess. By stimulating the lymph nodes and pushing the lymph toward the heart, it will go back inside the blood stream, filtered by kidneys and flushed out through urination. In this process, water intake is essential.
