massage - manual lymphatic drainage

what is manual lymphatic drainage (mld)?

Manual lymphatic drainage (mld) differs from ordinary massage - a very calming, relaxing treatment, it uses specialized, gentle rhythmic pumping movements over the skin to encourage movement of the lymph away from swollen areas.  In this way, mld stimulates the body’s natural defense mechanisms and aids removal of waste products and toxins and promotes the healthy functioning of the lymphatic system.
