Manual Lymphatic Drainage

By: Dr. Raj K Salariya (MBBS, DOMP) of Inner Harmony Manual Osteopathy

What is the lymphatic system?

Our lymphatic system collects and filters fluid from our body and returns it to our bloodstream. The lymphatic system plays an important role in our immune function. It is made up of lymph nodes that are connected by lymph vessels. Large groups or chains of lymph nodes can be found in your neck, under your arms, and in your groin (see picture). Approximately 70% of lymphatic are superficial capillaries located near, or just under, the skin. The remaining 30%, are deep.

The lymphatic system is a part of our circulatory system that helps to get rid of toxic matter accumulated in our body, that’s the most important way to stay healthy. The lymphatic system has Vessels, tissues, glands & Lymph nodes. Once has approximately 800 lymph nodes in the body. Thymus, Tonsil, and Spleen are part of the Lymphatic system. The lymphatic system drains into collecting ducts which empty their contents into the two subclavian veins, located under the collar bones.

The main function of the lymphatic system is to keep body fluid levels in balance and defend the body against Infection. The Lymphatic system does not have its own pump so needs body movement, muscle movement, breathing, and intestinal activity to create flow and push toxins out of the body.

Unfortunately, the lymphatic system is out of balance in many people due to a lack of activity, more processed food in the diet, and nutrient deficiency. Following are some health conditions that suggest having Manual Lymphatic drainage from a qualified Manual Lymphatic drainage practitioner/therapist.

Frequent headaches

Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Chronic fatigue syndrome
