Lymphatic Drainage Uses and Techniques

Uses of Lymphatic Drainage Massages

So you're watching Love Island Season 7 Episode 7 and you see Huda and Olandria rubbing their stomachs in the mirror and you wonder to yourself what they are doing. Well, they are draining their lymphatic system. This is a known massage technique that relieves inflammation in the face, neck, arms, and legs, and can also reduce acne and dry skin. So many models use this technique to keep their faces thin, defined, and clear. It also helps alleviate headaches and reduce brain fog.

How to Drain Your Lymphatic System

Key spots to massage

1. Circular motion above your collarbone

Anti-Inflammatory Foods

Some foods that are anti-inflammatory and you might want to start including in your diet are

• Leafy Greens - Spinach, Kale, Arugula

• Berries - Blue Berries, Bananas, Cucumbers

• Herbs - Garlic, Turmeric, Ginger

You can include these fruits and vegetables in your day-to-day diet easily. I myself like to make my spinach salads with roasted garlic or blueberries, and cucumbers. I eat bananas when I want sugar, the more yellow they the sweeter. Sam's also has this really good kale salad with pasta in it, it's pretty good. As for turmeric and ginger there are these vitamin shots that are really good and fun to drink. You can find them at the grocery store, but I found some on Amazon. I'll link it below. I will also link some massage oil below. I have seen some use in the videos.
