Lymphatic Drainage for the Neck & Lower Face

Dr. Heather Hunt, DC, goes through a tutorial on how you can do lymphatic drainage yourself on your neck and lower face.

The lymphatic system is the garbage disposal of your body. Performing lymphatic drainage on yourself helps with swelling, congestion, and swollen glands. The lymphatic system doesn’t have a pump, so you can imagine that when doing this you’re assisting in the pumping process.

This is a VERY gentle technique, more gentle than you’d think.

The lymphatic system is integrated by the parasympathetic nervous system, which is the part of your autonomic nervous system that is responsible for “rest and digest.” So you may notice when doing this feeling more calm and relaxed.

We hope you enjoy!
