The fluid in the lymphatic system helps remove waste and toxins from body tissues. Some health conditions can cause lymph fluid to build in the bodies tissues.
Swelling happens when your tissues retain fluid left behind after your cardiovascular system sends blood to your tissues and organs.
The remaining fluid is called lymph. Normally, your lymphatic system collects your lymph and returns it to your heart via a network of lymph vessels and lymph nodes. When something disrupts your lymphatic system’s process, lymph collects at an area of injury or injuries making them swell.
Lymphatic drainage, also known as manual lymphatic drainage, is used to relieve painful swelling in your arms and legs or body caused by illness or injuries.
