Lymphatic Drainage Massage plays a major piece in lymphatic health. Lymphatic health is essential to your well-being and overall health. In this video, I explain how lymphatic drainage massage works and then show how to complete lymphatic drainage massage at home correctly. As a certified lymphedema physical therapist (CLT-LANA), I think it's important to visually see and understand how the lymphatic system works so when you're doing the lymphatic drainage massage that you do it effectively. Enjoy!

    Thank you! Your video is so helpful. I hate to learn something without really understanding how and why I do it, and your video gives me exactly what I need! I will definitely go through all of your videos in the coming days.

    Chamomile tea. I had swollen lymph nodes on my neck, they were very pronounced, especially at the bottom of my chin/neck which was the size of a shelled pistachio. I drank 2 cups of chamomile a day with 2 tea bags in each cup. By day 3 they were gone, of course they came back again as I stopped drinking the tea but the 2nd time appeared I started drinking tea and I haven't gotten any more swollen lymph nodes. Chamomile is great for this.

  • @danbecker5122
    Thank you. This was exactly what I was looking for and so well explained.
  • I'm just a guy who recently had/has some inguinal lymph and leg swelling due to cellulitis from a spider bite. I've always been in great shape my whole life (60 now), but when this happened I knew that there was an area of my life/body that needed attention. I watched my mom suffer with horrible lymphedema before her death, never believing it could happen to me since I was exercising a couple times a week -----WRONG!! Running across YouTube, your videos are by far the most explanatory and detailed and simple to follow. Thanks for sharing your hard work and knowledge with the world. I'm subscribing right now. I'll be using this lymph massage for the rest of my life.
  • Thank you for this useful video, you explained it very clearly and it really helped me to understand the lymphatic system and how to implement this skill.
