Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialized massage technique that stimulates the lymphatic system to promote the removal of excess fluids, toxins, and waste products from the body. MLD involves gentle, rhythmic movements applied to specific areas of the body, encouraging lymphatic flow and improving circulation. This technique can help reduce swelling, alleviate discomfort, and support overall immune function. MLD is often used in post-surgical recovery, treatment of lymphedema, and to enhance relaxation and well-being.
