After-Care for your Lymphatic Massage
Share
Your healing and filtering continues well beyond your massage session! Here’s how to maximize the benefits and support your body's natural recovery:
Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate - Lymphatic massage can be dehydrating, so it’s essential to drink plenty of water afterward. This helps your lymphatic system flush out toxins and supports your kidneys in their role of filtering waste.
Wear Loose Clothing - Opt for comfortable, loose-fitting clothes to allow proper lymph flow and circulation. Tight clothing can restrict the movement of lymph, slowing down the cleaning and flushing process.
Mind What You Eat and Drink - Avoid alcohol and caffeine for at least 24 hours post-massage, as they can dehydrate you and stress your lymphatic system. Stick to a light, nutrient-rich diet with raw, whole foods to boost lymphatic function and support detoxification.
Incorporate Light Exercise - Gentle movements, like walking, encourage muscle contractions that help move lymph through the body. This can speed up the detox process and promote healing.
Rest and Relax - It’s common to feel tired after a lymphatic massage. Listen to your body—resting and relaxing can help regulate your blood pressure and further encourage healing.
Follow these tips, and you’ll be giving your body the extra love it needs to keep the benefits of your massage going strong!
