lymphatic drainage

Lymphatic drainage refers to the process by which excess fluid, waste, and proteins are removed from the body's tissues through the lymphatic system. This system comprises a network of vessels and nodes that transport lymph, a clear fluid, throughout the body. Proper lymphatic drainage helps maintain fluid balance, supports the immune system, and removes toxins. Techniques such as massage can enhance lymphatic drainage, potentially reducing swelling and improving overall health. Understanding this process highlights the importance of the lymphatic system in maintaining our bodily functions and enhancing well-being.
