Your lymphatic system aids in the removal of waste from your body. The natural movements of smooth muscle tissue are used by a healthy, active lymphatic system to do this.

Surgery, medical disorders, or other damage, on the other hand, might cause fluid to build up in your lymph system and lymph nodes, resulting in lymphedema.

Your doctor may have recommended lymphatic drainage massage by a certified massage or physical therapist if youve ever had surgery on or affected your lymph nodes.

The lymphatic system is an important part of the bodys immunological system.

Lymphatic fluid travels between lymph nodes via lymph veins. White blood cells catch and eliminate dangerous particles such as bacteria as they move through the lymph nodes.

Lymphatic fluid, like blood in the cardiovascular system, is constantly moving. Swelling might occur if it ceases, as lymph fluid builds up in the arms and legs. This is referred to as lymphedema by medical professionals.
