Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a type of gentle massage therapy that is designed to stimulate the lymphatic system and improve the flow of lymphatic fluid throughout the body. The lymphatic system is responsible for filtering and removing waste products, excess fluid, and harmful substances from the body. MLD involves light, rhythmic strokes and gentle pumping movements to encourage the lymphatic fluid to flow more efficiently, helping to reduce swelling and inflammation, boost the immune system, and promote healing.
