Morning + Night routines for lymphatic drainage support
🌞 Morning Routine
1. Tongue Scraping
Start your day by scraping your tongue. This removes overnight buildup and signals your digestive + detox systems to wake up.
2. Room temp Water with Lemon
Hydration first thing helps “flush” your system and supports lymph movement. Adding lemon boosts digestion and alkalinity.
3. Dry Brushing Before Shower (either in am or pm)
2–3 minutes of light strokes toward your heart stimulates lymph flow, exfoliates, and energizes your skin.
4. Movement to Wake the Body
A walk, light yoga, or a few minutes of stretching is enough to get muscles pumping lymph. Your lymph doesn’t move on its own, it moves when you do.
5. Breathwork Reset
Even 3–5 deep belly breaths help your diaphragm act as a natural lymph pump, oxygenating your body and calming stress hormones.
🌙 Night Routine for Lymphatic Reset
1. Legs Up the Wall
5–10 minutes with your legs elevated helps drain fluid from the lower body, reducing swelling and calming the nervous system.
2. Gentle Self-Massage or Gua Sha
Use light strokes on your face or abdomen, always working toward lymph nodes. Keep it relaxing, not forceful.
3. No blue lights
Red bulb or red light next to bed, night shift lightning on instead of blue light on electronics.
4. Herbal Tea Hydration
Swap late-night alcohol or soda for an herbal tea (like chamomile, ginger, or dandelion root). It supports digestion + gentle detox while winding you down.
5. Prioritize Deep Sleep
Your lymphatic system (the brain’s lymphatic system) is most active during deep sleep, clearing toxins and resetting your nervous system. Aim for 7–9 hours, device-free before bed.
7 Benefits of Lymphatic Massage for Stress, Detox, and Glow
You know that feeling when you walk out of a session and feel lighter, calmer, and somehow glowing from the inside out? That’s the power of the lymphatic system. At Remedy, we’re obsessed with lymphatic massage because it’s gentle, effective, and does so much more than just help you relax. Think: less bloat, less stress, more glow. Here are seven benefits we’ll know you ‘ll absolutely LOVE:
1. Natural Detox
Your lymphatic system is like your body’s built-in clean-up crew. Lymphatic massage helps it move more freely, flushing out toxins, excess fluid, and all the “stuff” that can make you feel sluggish. What happens when the lymphatic system isn’t supported? There will be a common theme, sluggish, bloated, maybe even a weaker immune system.
2. Bye Bye Bloat
Puffy face? Swollen ankles? Post-travel bloat? Lymphatic massage moves stagnant fluid, helping you feel lighter and more balanced. The manual manipulation that works along the lymphatic system helps move this fluid.
3. Immune Support
When your lymph is flowing, your immune system gets a boost. That means your body can defend itself better and bounce back quicker when you’re run down. The whole point of lymphatic massage is simple: we’re clearing out the old lymph that’s been sitting stagnant so that fresh, healthy lymph can do its job.
4. Stress Relief on Another Level
The rhythm of lymphatic massage is slow, soothing, and intentional. It signals your body to switch gears into rest + digest mode , aka your healing state. You’ll feel calmer, grounded, and deeply relaxed.
5. Skin That Glows
Better circulation = better skin. Clients often notice their skin looks brighter, more even, and refreshed after a session. Lymphatic massage is the secret glow-up you didn’t know you needed.
6. Recovery + Reset
Whether you’ve just gotten off a long flight, had a busy work week, or are recovering from being under the weather, lymphatic massage helps reset your system so you feel like yourself again.
7. Gentle But Effective
Not everyone wants deep tissue pressure. Lymphatic massage is light, but don’t be fooled, the results are powerful. It’s nurturing, supportive, and designed to work with your body, not against it.
Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage isn’t just for aesthetic aspects, it’s for the wellness of your overall body. Your lymphatic system plays a vital role in keeping you healthy.
Getting the Most Out of Your Brazilian Lymphatic Massage: How Lifestyle Affects Results
A Brazilian lymphatic massage can leave you feeling lighter, less bloated, and glowing, but did you know your lifestyle has a big impact on how long those results last? At Remedy, we like to say your body is our partner: what you do outside the treatment room makes all the difference inside it. Here’s how your daily habits affect results (and how to make them last).
1. Hydration = Longer-Lasting Glow
Lymph is 95% water, so staying hydrated before and after your session is key. If you’re dehydrated, the system slows down, and so will your results. Carry that water bottle everywhere.
2. Diet Plays a Role
High-salt, processed foods make you retain water, which works against your drainage session. A balanced diet with plenty of fresh produce, lean proteins, and healthy fats keeps your lymph flowing more efficiently.
3. Movement Matters
The lymphatic system doesn’t have a pump, it relies on muscle movement and breath. That means the more you move, the better your results stick. Walking, yoga, and stretching all help keep things flowing after your massage.
4. Stress Can Stall Progress
Stress locks the body into “fight or flight,” which slows down digestion, detox, and lymph flow. Pair your sessions with relaxation practices: deep breathing, meditation, or even just a mindful walk, to keep your system in balance.
5. Sleep Supports Detox
Most of your body’s detox processes (including the glymphatic system in your brain) happen during deep sleep. Poor sleep = sluggish detox, no matter how good your massage was. Prioritize 7–9 hours and earlier rest.
6. Consistency Is Key
One session can do wonders, but a series of sessions plus healthy daily habits create the biggest changes. Think of lymphatic massage as a reset button — your lifestyle determines how long that reset lasts.
How to Prepare for Your Brazilian Lymphatic Massage
So you booked your very first (or not) Brazilian lymphatic massage, amazing choice! Whether you’re looking for detox, sculpting, or that “light-as-air” feeling, prepping before your appointment makes all the difference. At Remedy, we want you to walk in relaxed and ready so you get the absolute best results. Here’s what to know before your session.
1. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
The lymphatic system moves fluid, and water is your best friend here. Aim to drink plenty of water the day before and the day of your appointment. Think of it as priming your body so the lymph can flow more freely.
2. Skip Heavy Meals Beforehand
Come with a light stomach. Eating a heavy or greasy meal right before can make you feel sluggish or uncomfortable on the table. A small, balanced snack (like fruit or protein) a couple of hours before is perfect.
3. Wear Comfortable Clothing
Loose, comfortable clothing (think flowy dress, joggers, or soft shorts) makes it easier for your body to adjust post-treatment.
4. Limit Alcohol/Caffeine + Salt 24 Hours Before
Both alcohol and Caffeine can cause fluid retention. Why? Both dehydrate the body, so if you’re not drinking enough water your body naturally wants to retain hydration. Too much of the wrong salt (hidden salts like shoyu aka soy sauce for your rice, MSG in your instant ramen etc.) works against the goal of your lymphatic massage. Keep it clean the day before for best results.
5. Know What to Expect
Brazilian lymphatic massage isn’t deep tissue. It’s a gentle, rhythmic technique that encourages lymph flow, reduces bloating, and supports detox. You’ll feel lighter, less puffy, and often see visible results in your waistline and midsection.
6. Plan for Aftercare
Keep hydrating post-session.
Avoid alcohol, caffeine, heavy meals, and excessive heat for the rest of the day.
Give your body time to rest , don’t schedule a crazy workout right after.
