DIY Lymphatic Drainage

I love this technique!  Draining the lymphatics helps with sinus pressure, headaches, tightness in neck and head, and it's really relaxing!  I've been doing this technique for months now, and my body loves it.  I do a variation with my massage clients, and have great results. 

See the video here: Self-Lymphatic Drainage technique.  Be sure to do it as slowly and gently as she describes, as the lymphatic system responds best to light pressure. 

The lymphatic system removes toxins from the body.  So, if  you are detoxifying on purpose, or your body has decided to create its own cleansing thru a summer cold, or just feel like your energy is "stuck", this might do the trick.  The lymphatic system doesn't have its own pump like the circulatory system, so it needs stimulation through exercise and massage.
