There are many benefits to doing regular breast lymphatic drainage massage. Our breasts are unique, in that they have no muscles. That means that the lymph flow can become stagnant and restricted, resulting in toxin and fluid retention in the breast tissue 3. Self-lymphatic drainage can help drain these toxins from the breast tissue, resulting in overall breast health as well as clearing the heart chakra to alleviate feelings of emotional pain, stress, and unworthiness.
Lymph drainage, when done on your breasts regularly, can improve circulation and reduce swelling or any breast tenderness 2. Our breasts are such a prominent part of our being. How do you begin your new practice of lymphatic drainage? With deep breathing. An important part of your self-care, breathing helps to stimulate your lymphatic system in your entire body 1. As you go through these steps, remember to keep coming back to your breath.
Add a few drops of oil in your hand and place them under your breast. Start by stimulating the lymphatic nodes in your armpits. Place your palm inside your armpit with your thumb on the outside and gently pump upwards into your armpit. Repeat times on each side. Massage your breasts towards your lymph nodes by placing your palm under your breast and massaging along the bra line, up and into your armpits.
Repeat three times on each side. Then, place your palm over your breastbone in the center of your chest. Imagine drawing a rainbow with your fingers towards your armpits while gently massaging your breasts with the whole hand. Place the palm of one hand below your breast and gently hold it. Using the palm of the other hand, massage your breast towards your collarbone. One option is to simply hold a breast with both hands and give it a little jiggle, or pump inwards towards the chest bone.
