Drive water: how to perform a Brazilian lymphatic drainage massage

Lymphatic drainage procedures are one of the most popular. And this is quite understandable. Little movement, malnutrition, stress tightness – these factors provoke not only external negative manifestations, but also internal discomfort.

Many people think that lymphatic drainage massage is a rather painful procedure in which the body is kneaded so aggressively that after the session it seems like you just got beaten up. It must be said that, unfortunately, such a stereotype did not arise from scratch. Some unfortunate massage therapists really work in such a way that bruises and bruises appear on the body after their hands. They mix anti-cellulite and lymphatic drainage techniques, although it makes no sense to fight against cellulite with such harsh methods, especially in their combination. Of course, massage techniques do not exclude powerful muscle work, which is not always comfortable, but a competent specialist intensifies the effect gradually, incrementally (climaxes in the middle of the session) and then again softens the movements. But to endure pain for the entire session means to additionally strain the muscles,

Why disperse the lymph

The lymphatic system plays an important role in the body: it maintains a healthy immune system to fight infections and pathogens, transports various components (fats, hormones, immune cells) in the body, and removes excess fluids and substances. However, the lymph tends to stagnate in its path between the lymph nodes. Unlike blood, which the heart "drives" through the circulatory system, the lymphatic system does not have such a pump. Therefore, to prevent such stagnation, you should lead an active lifestyle, go to the sauna, drink green tea, or regularly perform lymphatic drainage treatments such as Brazilian massage. Brazilian lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle way to stimulate the natural movement of lymphatic fluid in our body, and figure correction is already an addition to it. Massage allows you to direct stagnant lymph along its natural paths between the lymph nodes. This allows you to remove puffiness and gain lightness, as well as increase the elasticity of the body and tighten its contours.

How is it carried out

Brazilian lymphatic drainage massage treats the entire body, including the arms, legs, and abdomen. At the same time, the master may ask you to take deep breaths at certain points in the session, which helps to promote lymphatic fluid in some areas. The work takes place with the use of a massage lotion with essential oils, which emotionally relaxes and improves the quality of the skin. Some specialists use special bamboo sticks to help the lymph move along its natural path. With special movements, the master creates a vibration that activates metabolic processes in tissues, stimulates the outflow of fluid and promotes the breakdown of fat. The session is always built individually, taking into account the physique of a particular person, his problems and needs. On average, it is completed within 1.5-2 hours. And it should be carried out weekly or at least once a month. Lymphatic drainage massage is the main secret of Brazilian women’s body beauty, along with dance classes and meticulous epilation. It should not be surprising that putting on jeans after such a massage, you will find that they sit more freely. Also a sign that the lymph began to move is the fullness of the bladder immediately after the session. By the way, the first time after the procedure, you should drink more water so that, along with the movement of lymph, accumulated harmful substances and decay products are removed from the body. that the lymph began to move, is the fullness of the bladder immediately after the session.
