Intraoral Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Intraoral Lymphatic Drainage is a specialized manual therapy technique that focuses on stimulating the lymphatic system inside the mouth and surrounding facial structures. This gentle and precise method helps promote fluid drainage, reduce swelling, relieve tension, and support post-surgical healing. By targeting the lymph nodes and pathways within the oral cavity, intraoral lymphatic drainage enhances circulation, reduces inflammation, and aids in detoxification.
How Does Intraoral Lymphatic Drainage Work?
Unlike traditional lymphatic drainage, which primarily involves external massage techniques, intraoral lymphatic drainage is performed by a trained therapist using gloved hands to apply gentle, rhythmic motions inside the mouth. These movements help stimulate lymphatic flow, encouraging the removal of excess fluids and waste products while enhancing the body’s natural healing process.
