Lymphatic Massages are the New Juice Cleanse — Here’s Where You Can Get a Good One in Houston

Lymphatic Massages are the New Juice Cleanse — Here’s Where You Can Get a Good One in Houston

Green juice was at one time the crowd-favorite way to hit the proverbial reset button. Now, lymphatic drainage body massages are celebrities' go-to for detox and body contouring. "Lymphatic drainage is a type of massage technique that stimulates the natural drainage of the lymph — fluid composed of white blood cells, proteins and fats — which helps to eliminate waste from the body," says Deidre Kirksey, licensed massage therapist at West University Wellness. "This massage helps to move this fluid out of the tissues and into the lymph nodes, where bacteria and viruses are destroyed." These lymph nodes are located in the axillary area, inguinal area, and the neck area.

Some of the biggest benefits garnered from a regular lymphatic drainage massage — weekly is recommended— according to experts, include a strengthened immune system, reduced cellulite and an improved mood.
