The Lymphatic System: Your Body’s Detox Highway

The Lymphatic System: Your Body’s Detox Highway (And Why It Needs Your Help)

Most people have no idea what their lymphatic system does—until it stops working properly.

Your lymphatic system is your body’s detoxification network. It moves fluid, filters waste, supports your immune function, and clears inflammation.
But unlike your heart, the lymphatic system has no pump. It relies on movement, hydration, breath, and manual stimulation—like lymphatic drainage massage—to keep flowing.

When your lymphatic system becomes stagnant, you may experience:

  • Puffiness or bloating

  • Chronic fatigue

  • Brain fog

  • Swelling in limbs

  • Recurring colds or sluggish immunity

  • Poor circulation

This is where lymphatic massage comes in. At Indigo, we specialize in manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), a gentle and highly effective technique that:

  • Stimulates lymph flow

  • Reduces swelling and water retention

  • Supports post-surgical recovery

  • Improves skin tone and overall vitality

And if you’re someone who gives a lot—mothers, caregivers, healthcare workers—this type of care is crucial for your long-term health!
