Lymphatic Drainage Massage (LDM) is a specialized therapeutic massage technique designed to stimulate the lymphatic system, encouraging the natural circulation of lymph—a fluid that carries toxins, waste products, and immune cells throughout the body. By using gentle, rhythmic strokes and specific hand movements, this treatment promotes the removal of excess fluid, toxins, and metabolic waste, helping to improve overall health, detoxify the body, and enhance skin tone.

This massage technique was developed in the 1930s by Danish physiotherapist Emil Vodder and has since gained worldwide recognition for its numerous health and beauty benefits.

Lymphatic Drainage Massage is particularly effective for promoting detoxification, reducing water retention, and improving immune function.
