What is lymphatic drainage and why is it so important?

Your lymphatic system is a vital team inside your body. It consists of your many lymph nodes, your spleen, tonsils, and thymus.

The whole thing is essentially a transport system.

Lymph, a pale, yellowish fluid, is created out of the nutrients, electrolytes, and white blood cells that your cells don’t use.

Your lymphatic system then carries this lymph back to your lymph nodes – most of which are in your head and neck – and along the way it picks up lots of bacteria, waste, and other nasty stuff your body wants to eliminate, while dropping off some of the good stuff to needy cells along the way.

Unlike your bloodstream, the lymphatic highway is one way! Lymph only goes from your body’s cells to the lymph nodes. In other words, it’s constantly working against gravity.

Strong blood flow and muscular activity are key to keeping your lymph moving properly, eliminating waste products from your body’s cells, and having a strong immune system.
