DIY Lymphatic Massage: Your Body Craves It

Do you know the easiest way to detox your body? It’s through lymphatic massage!

I used to get really worked up about how to detox my body. I took great time researching about detox diets, detox herbal supplements and other remedies such as juicing and water fasting. Most of these sound tedious or expensive, right? But believe me when I say, lymphatic massage is the best way to foster immediate body detoxification! It’s easy, cheap and pretty relaxing! I mean, it’s massage! What could be more relaxing and pleasurable!

  • Reducing cellulite
  • Removing harmful toxins from the body
  • Improving blood circulation to the skin
  • Keeping the body youthful and agile
  • Promoting beautiful youthful skin
  • Energizing the body
  • Boosting your mood
  • Combating stress and high blood pressure
  • Fights inflammation, swelling and edema
  • Promotes longevity and general well-being
  • Reduces autoimmune disorders
  • Promotes self-love and awareness

How to Do a Lymphatic Massage at Home

You can definitely get a professional deep tissue lymphatic massage from a practicioner. But nothing beats simple homemade lymphatic massage. You can get your partner to help you out. But for me, self massage is a much better deal because you won’t need to bother anyone, and you know your body better than anyone else does. When you massage yourself with your own hands or tools, you’ll know just how much pressure to apply and what your problem areas are so you can do more work on them.

Now how do you do a lymphatic massage? Let me first clear this up: there is nothing complicated about this! Below I have provided you with simple steps to follow:

  1. Grab your bottle of DIY lymphatic massage oil. To make this, simply mix ½ cup of carrier oil such as olive oil with 20 drops of your favorite lymphatic massage essential oil such as ginger, peppermint or lemongrass. P.S You can also use a combination of 3 or more essential oils if you wish.
  2. Now lightly warm up the oil so that it penetrates your skin faster.
  3. Strip down to your bare essentials (preferably in the bathroom) and begin applying the oil lightly all over your body, with the exception of your head.
  4. You can do so in a top to bottom systematic application so you don’t miss any areas.
  5. Now as you apply your oil, take time to firmly apply more pressure and more strokes to the following areas where majority of the lymph nodes are clustered: the neck, the armpits, the mammary glands, the limbs (particularly the elbows and knees), the groin region
  6. Use your thumb and forefingers to gently squeeze and stroke your lymph nodes.
  7. That’s about it! Now you can take a shower to rinse off the oil or simply rub off the excess oil with a towel.

Tips for Lymphatic Massage

1. How long should lymphatic massage last? As short as 10 minutes or as long as 30 minutes! It all depends on your schedule or the time you have available. Better to spare a few minutes for a quick massage everyday than to go without it!

2. Do I need to use oil?Yes, please! Oil helps make the massage smoother and easier. It prevents scratches and reduces the pain threshold especially on dry skin. Great carrier oils for lymph massage include: castor oil, sesame oil, olive oil and coconut oil .

3. Do I need to add essential oils to my massage oil? You don’t have to, but I highly recommend it! Essential oils can help boost detoxification, stimulate blood circulation and have awesome anti-inflammatory properties. Some of the best essential oils for lymphatic massage include: frankincense, peppermint and ginger. Find the best essential oils for lymph nodes here: Essential Oils for Lymph Nodes

4. Tools to Help: The best tools for lymphatic massage are your own hands. But here are my top 3 tools that I absolutely cannot live without for self-massage:
