What does lymph drainage mean?

With the help of the lymph vessels, water is removed from the tissue and returned to the blood vessels. If the lymph system is disturbed in its function, the body water accumulates in the tissue and swelling (oedema) occurs.

The therapeutic concept of lymph drainage aims to restore the disturbed balance between the amount of water in the tissue and the performance of the lymphatic system. At the same time, the immune system should be stimulated.
