Lymphatic drainage

The lymphatic system is one of the key components of the immune system, responsible for maintaining fluid balance in the body and eliminating harmful substances. It consists of lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, lymph (a fluid rich in proteins and white blood cells), and organs such as the spleen, thymus, and tonsils. The main function of the lymphatic system is the transport of lymph, filtration of toxins, and strengthening of immunity.​

What is lymphatic drainage?
