Lümfivahendusteks

Lümfivahendusteks refers to lymphatic drainage techniques. These are specialized massage methods designed to stimulate the flow of lymph fluid throughout the body. Lymph is a clear fluid containing white blood cells that helps fight infection. It travels through a network of vessels and nodes, eventually returning to the bloodstream.

Lymphatic drainage massage employs gentle, rhythmic strokes that follow the direction of lymph flow. The pressure applied is typically very light, intended to encourage the movement of superficial lymph vessels. The purpose is to assist the body's natural detoxification process and reduce swelling, particularly in cases of lymphedema, a condition characterized by fluid accumulation and swelling.

These techniques can also be used for general wellness, aiming to promote relaxation, alleviate stress, and improve circulation. While often performed by trained therapists, some basic self-massage techniques can be learned. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before undergoing lymphatic drainage, especially if you have any underlying health conditions such as heart problems, kidney disease, or infections. Professional lymphatic drainage is a complementary therapy and should not be considered a substitute for conventional medical treatment.
