Tea For Lymphatic Drainage
What Is Lymphatic Drainage?
Lymphatic drainage is a massage technique designed to bring back energy and balance to the body by moving and releasing stagnant lymph node fluid. This helps increase the rate of detoxification, reduce muscle toxins, and reduce edema. The lymphatic system carries waste away from cells and helps maintain our bodies’ immune system.
