Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) helps by gently stimulating the lymphatic system, which reduces swelling, removes excess fluids, and enhances the body’s natural detoxification process. It can aid in reducing inflammation, promoting healing after surgery or injury, and supporting overall immune health. MLD is especially beneficial for conditions like lymphedema, post-surgical recovery, and chronic swelling. NOTE: See Lymphedema FAQ for further info.
