The lymphatic system consists of lymph vessels, lymph glands and lymph fluid. The lymph fluid contained in the lymph vessels is filtered by the lymph glands and works in complete harmony.
The lymphatic system regulates the immune system, removes toxins and edema accumulated in the body. We can strengthen the lymphatic system, which keeps us healthy and protects our resistance by working silently in our body, with lymph drainage application.

What can be done to support the lymphatic system
- If you have to stand for a long time, frequently rising and falling on tiptoes will support the flow of lymph fluid in the lower leg.
- By moving your arms during the day, you can prevent the lymph fluid from being pulled downwards.
- Exercise promotes an increase in lymph fluid. Walking and cycling are the best exercises to increase lymph fluid.
Recommendations to prevent edema formation
- One of the main causes of edema is gravity. The lymph fluid, which is constantly pulled down due to gravity, will cause edema formation if you remain immobile.
- Tight clothing prevents the flow of lymph fluid in the body from being maintained as it should be. Therefore, not using tight bra straps, underwear, socks and belts will prevent edema formation.
- High-heeled shoes should be avoided if the feet are close to swelling.
- Hot weather triggers swelling in the body. As blood vessels dilate to cool the body, more fluid escapes between tissues.
- Weight gain can lead to increased edema.
