Sometimes, the solution can be as simple as moving the bad stuff away:
A massage that’s flush with benefits
Preparation: apply oil or moisturizer (she uses coconut oil in the video) to help your hands glide smoothly over your skin. This is not just for comfort; it also help the process, since you want to be moving lymph (and some other fluids and even a little soft tissue) under the skin; you will gain no benefits from simply moving the skin itself (as will happen if there is too much friction to glide).
Then…
- Lightly press the lymph nodes located between the hips about 20 times.
- Draw a rainbow-shaped motion from one lymph node to the next, repeating about 20 times to get things moving.
- Use the outside edge of your hand to slide downwards 20 times, moving everything toward the lymph nodes.
- Push fluid from each side of the waist downward towards the lymph nodes 20 times on each side.
