Saturday, August 2, 2025
CHICAGO (WLS) -- We all want to live well, and while many focus on fitness, diet and skin care - our lymphatic health is just as important - and connected to all three!

For that reset your body needs, lymphatic drainage massages are gaining popularity. They can aid in detoxification, reduce inflammation and bloating, improve recovery, strengthen immunity, relieve stress, and enhance skin health.



If a day at the spa is out of budget, there are plenty of things you can do at home to stimulate your lymphatic system. Dry brushing, gua sha, hydration, exercise, and deep breathing are all great ways to support your lymphatic health.

Val Oliveira, founder of Brazilian Lymph Spa, visited ABC 7 to talk about how a healthy lymphatic system supports the health of your entire body.
