What is Lymphatic Massage?

Lymphatic massage is a gentle treatment with attention to the lymph nodes and light, rhythmic massage strokes to the body with the aim to encourage movement of the lymph fluid.

It may include the application of castor oil to the abdomen and a castor oil massage blend for the therapeutic lymphatic massage strokes. The session may also include reflexology points on the feet to stimulate the lymphatic system.
