Lymphatic drainage massage of the face and body

Lymphatic drainage facial and body massage in Yerevan, Armenia, is a specialized type of massage that helps in maintaining the balance of body fluids, blood circulation and immune mechanisms. The network of vessels and nodes of the system contains lymph, a mixture of water, proteins, components of the immune system, waste and other remnants of cellular metabolism. Lymph nodes that filter out toxins are found throughout the body, especially large groups of them in the neck, armpits, and groin area. During lymphatic drainage massage in Yerevan, Armenia, a specially trained massage therapist uses a series of sliding, compressing, stretching movements on the body and face. Light rhythmic movements used without massage oil stimulate the lymphatic system without vasoconstriction, allowing lymph to easily move through tissues and lymph nodes. The first data on lymphatic drainage massage emerged in the 1930s, when Emil and Estrid Vodder developed the science of lymphology.

In the 1970s, German professors Michael and Ethelka Foeldi built a clinic to receive patients and train therapists. At his Arizona School of Lymphatic Drainage Therapy (LDT), French physician Bruno Chikly expanded the treatment methods.

Today, men and women include lymphatic drainage massage in their skin care and wellness treatments, taking into account its detoxifying and aesthetic properties. LDM technique is effective for pain relief, digestive problems, hormonal imbalances, skin diseases (such as acne and rosacea), cellulite, allergies, headaches, etc.
