What symptoms may occur after having lymphatic drainage?

After a lymphatic drainage treatment, it's common to experience a variety of symptoms as the body responds to the therapy aimed at enhancing lymphatic circulation and promoting detoxification. Nausea and increased urination are particularly notable because they reflect the body's natural processes of flushing out toxins and excess fluid that may have accumulated.

Lymphatic drainage stimulates the lymphatic system, which plays a crucial role in immune function and fluid balance. As the treatment accelerates the movement of lymph fluid, it can lead to the release of waste products, which in some cases can cause nausea as the body adjusts. Increased urination is also a typical response, as the kidneys work to eliminate these extra fluids and waste products from the bloodstream.

Understanding these symptoms is important for clients to know that their reactions are part of the body’s natural detox process and that these results vary among individuals based on their health status and responses to treatment.
