After a Manual Lymphatic Massage (MLD), you can expect a feeling of lightness and relaxation, as the massage helps stimulate lymphatic flow and reduce fluid retention. However, it's common to experience some temporary side effects as your body adjusts to the detoxification process. These symptoms may include:

• Increased urination as your body flushes out excess fluids and toxins.
• Mild fatigue or drowsiness, as the massage activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting deep relaxation.
• Slight swelling or tenderness, particularly if there was significant fluid retention in the lymphatic areas.
• Headache or nausea in rare cases, as toxins are processed and released.
• Sensation of deep relaxation and a feeling of rejuvination

How to assist with these symptoms:

• Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to support the body's detox process and reduce fatigue or headaches.
• Rest: Allow your body time to relax and recover, especially if you feel tired after the session.
• Gentle movement: Engage in light walking or stretching to help stimulate lymph flow and prevent fluid buildup.
• Healthy diet: Eating nutrient-rich foods can further assist your body in detoxing and maintaining the effects of the massage.

These symptoms should resolve within 24-48 hours, leaving you feeling more refreshed and balanced. Should you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to contact us.
