Frequently Asked Questions

Curious about what to expect after a lymphatic massage? Look no further—I've got the details for you.

Remember, each person is unique, so experiences may vary. Nevertheless, here’s a general overview of what you might encounter following a 60-minute lymphatic drainage massage with me.

  1. Relaxation: The gentle rhythmic strokes of a lymphatic massage stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, known as the “rest and digest” system. You can rest assured that you’ll feel relaxed both during and after the session, with the soothing strokes inducing a profound sense of relaxation.
  2. Increased Urination: Anticipate a heightened need to urinate, either more frequently or in larger quantities. Manual lymphatic drainage aims to balance fluids and eliminate waste and toxins from the body, primarily through urine. The increased frequency indicates the successful flushing out of unwanted elements from your system.
  3. Changes in Urine Appearance or Smell: Due to the elimination of waste and fluids, it’s common for urine to exhibit changes in appearance or smell. This is a natural outcome of the detoxification process.
  4. Increased Energy and Vitality: The powerful detoxification effect of a lymphatic massage leads to increased energy and mental clarity. By clearing out toxins and cellular waste, your body experiences a natural boost in energy levels.
  5. Reduced Swelling/Bloat: Lymphatic drainage significantly diminishes fluid retention, with the lymphatic system regulating 90% of the body’s fluid. Expect a noticeable reduction in swelling, bloat, and puffiness. For persistent swelling issues, additional interventions may be discussed.
  6. Increased Thirst: Hydration is crucial for at least 48 hours post-lymphatic massage. The lymphatic system accelerates by 100 times after a 60-minute session, resulting in an increased feeling of thirst. Drinking water supports lymphatic drainage, ensuring your system remains healthy and active.
  7. Detox “Flu”: While rare, some individuals may experience a “detox flu” lasting less than 24 hours. Symptoms may include nausea, headaches, achiness, swollen lymph nodes, and fever. This reaction indicates a heightened detoxification process and an enhanced immune response.
  8. Boosted Immune System: Behind the scenes, a boosted immune system is hard at work. Since the lymphatic system is essentially the immune system, enhancing its pumping action improves the filtration rate and speeds up the identification and elimination of invaders.

In conclusion, I’m deeply passionate about the lymphatic system and the incredible health and wellness benefits it offers. For more information, feel free to reach out via email at Fiona@LymphaSpaandMassage.com or Call/text at 515-587-1911
