Feeling bloated and sluggish? Your lymphatic system could be the culprit

What is lymph?
Lymphatic drainage massage is the draining of lymph fluid that might cause swelling—you might see it as puffy eyes or swollen arms and legs. This condition, known as lymphoedema, usually occurs as a result of a build-up of lymph fluid, which is a yellow fluid that flows through the lymphatic systems. However unlike blood vessels that have a heart to pump the fluid evenly around the body, lymph vessels do not have a pump. Instead, they rely on the blood vessels to facilitate movement. The fluid is part of the immune system, transporting nutrients and oxygen to cells and flushing out toxins via the kidney.
