Vidoe about Self Lymphatic Drainage Massage for Breast Care, Swelling, and Post Mastectomy or Breast Surgery

When it comes to women’s health and wellness, the breasts often get overlooked—until something feels wrong. But proactive care, like self-lymphatic drainage massage therapy, can be a powerful way to support breast health, comfort, and overall lymphatic function.


💧 What Is the Lymphatic System?

The lymphatic system is your body’s natural detox network. It moves lymph fluid, removes waste, and supports immune function. Unlike blood, lymph doesn't have a pump—it relies on movement and manual stimulation to flow properly.


🩷 Why Focus on the Breasts?

Breast tissue contains a high concentration of lymphatic vessels, but due to tight clothing, lack of movement, or surgeries (like mastectomy or augmentation), lymph flow can become sluggish or congested.

Signs of lymphatic stagnation in the breast area may include:

  • Tenderness or swelling

  • Heaviness or discomfort

  • Fibrocystic tissue or lumps

  • Sensitivity before menstruation
