Lymphatic drainage is a massage technique that helps move lymph fluid through your body. Usually, a trained therapist performs this technique, but you can also learn to do it yourself at home.
This technique was developed in the 1930s by a Danish doctor named Emil Vodder. Over time, the Vodder method has been improved through teaching and scientific studies.
