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.
