lymphatic drainage

manual drain
The lymphatic system consists of several lymphoid organs and lymph vessels that produce and transport lymph, tissue to blood circulation, so as to facilitate the removal of toxins from the body.
The lymphatic system is also responsible for the removal of the excess tissue of our body fluid, in addition to producing and transporting immune cells such as monocytes, lymphocytes and plasma cells (antibody producing cells), essential for the proper functioning Our immune system. The lymph also transports fatty acids and macromolecules into the circulatory system.
When a lymph vessel is obstructed or liquid accumulates in a certain area, called edema causes, affecting the lymphatic system. This may occur for several reasons: in pregnancy due to the increased amount of blood flowing in tissue, inflammation, due to trauma ,or by excessive accumulation of fat that compresses the blood vessels and lymphatics.
Lymphatic drainage is nothing more than a massage technique that aims to promote lymphatic circulation, ie, drain the accumulated between cells from tissues to lymphatic vessels, through massage liquid, carrying the same liquid to the heart where it passes for blood circulation and is subsequently eliminated in the urine.
