Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage: Detox, Wellness & Hormonal Support

When your lymphatic system is sluggish, toxins and excess fluid can build up, causing bloating, fatigue, weakened immunity, inflammation, hormonal imbalance, digestive discomfort, and even skin issues. Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage (BLD) is a specialized massage that stimulates lymph flow, releases fascial restrictions, and supports your body’s natural detox, helping you feel lighter, more energized, and healthier inside and out.

Why It Matters

BLD is more than a beauty treatment—it’s a wellness therapy. It helps:

  • Flush toxins and metabolic waste

  • Reduce swelling and water retention

  • Support immune function

  • Improve hormonal balance, easing peri-menopause and menopause symptoms

  • Support digestion and gut health

  • Loosen fascial restrictions that can impede lymph flow

  • Boost energy, vitality, and relaxation

Benefits at a Glance

  • Lighter, less bloated body

  • Enhanced body contour and tone

  • Relief from hormonal, digestive, and circulation-related discomfort

  • Healthier skin and reduced puffiness

  • Improved mobility and reduced stiffness from fascia restrictions

  • Overall sense of wellbeing and energy

What to Expect

  • Sessions last 60–90 minutes

  • Gentle but firm, rhythmic, precise movements along lymph pathways

  • Immediate feeling of lightness and relaxation

  • Tailored to target specific areas or full-body wellness

  • Additional consent will be obtained for sensitive areas such as the upper legs, sides of torso, lower abdomen, and glutes

Preparation & Aftercare

Before: Drink water, wear comfortable clothing, avoid heavy meals
After: Stay hydrated, do light movement, and minimize salty foods

Is It Right for You?

BLD is safe for most, but should be avoided if you have:

  • Blood clots or deep vein thrombosis

  • Severe heart conditions

  • Active infections or fever

  • Certain cancers or recent major surgery

Note: Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage may also benefit certain chronic conditions, including autoimmune issues—ask your therapist if it’s right for you.

FAQ

Q: Is this covered by extended health insurance?
A: If you have coverage for Massage Therapy, Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage will be covered at Mosaic, as it is performed by Mandy, an RMT with a registration number.

Q: How often should I get a Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage massage?
A: Frequency depends on your individual needs and wellness goals.

  • General maintenance and overall well-being: Monthly sessions are typically sufficient.

  • Managing specific symptoms or conditions (bloating, menstrual discomfort, sleep issues, injury, or athletic recovery): More frequent sessions may help, ranging from a couple of times a month to once or twice a week.
    Your therapist will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Q: Is it painful?
A: No—BLD uses gentle but firm, rhythmic, precise movements that are comfortable while effectively stimulating lymph flow. Some sensitive areas with tight fascia, such as the sides of the legs, may feel slightly uncomfortable as the fascia is released. Your therapist will check in and adjust pressure as needed for your comfort.

Q: When will I see results?
A: Many clients notice reduced swelling, a sense of lightness, and improved energy after the first session. Multiple sessions provide longer-lasting benefits.

Q: What happens to the fluid during a lymphatic drainage massage?
A: During the massage, excess fluid is gently guided through the lymphatic system. This fluid, along with toxins and waste, is processed by the lymph nodes and eventually returned to the bloodstream for elimination from the body.
