Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) massage sounds complicated and a little scary, but it really isn't. In technical terms this technique stimulates the superficial lymphatic system to uptake fluid at a much faster rate which speeds up the detoxification process, boosts the immune system and reduces swelling. Simply put, it aids the lymphatic system in maintaining the body's fluid balance, circulation, and immune system to help you start feeling better.
