Based on Dr Perry Nickelston (youtube), the idea is to drain lymph from the lowest pressure to the highest pressure, or if you drain a pipe you clean up the output area first because if the output area is clogged, you can't flush the clog.
Basically, you message 6 spots in order, and for every spot you do Rubbing 10 times, Tap 10 times, and Circling clockwise 10 times and counterclockwise 10 times on 6 spots to drain the lymph.
The steps are as follows
- drink 1 to 2 cups of water: for better circulation
- collar bone: above and under collar bone area (left and right) where lymph drains to vein system.
- under ear lobe, behind the jaw: left and right
- Torso meet arm area: just outside of armpit, left and right
- stomach: this one is a bit different, rub up and down through your navel 10 times, and then put both of your palms and do a circular clockwise movement, and put a bit of pressure 10 times
- groin area - the folding area, left and right
- behind the knee: left and right
- light jump and wave your hand for 10 seconds: pump the whole lymph circulation, The calf muscle functions as the pump for lymph
Caution:
- some people immediately feel discomfort or days 3 to 4 because of the lymph drainage, so proceed lightly.
- Don't message it too hard, just medium-pressure
Drink two cups of water if that amount is appropriate for you.
Use left hand to Rub 10x, Tap 10x, Circle clockwise 10x and counter clockwise 10x the above collar bone on the left
Use right hand to Rub 10x, Tap 10x, Circle clockwise 10x and counter clockwise 10x the above collar bone on the left
Use both hand Rub up and down 10x, Tap 10x, Circle clockwise 10x and counter clockwise 10x on the neck area under ear
Use right hand to Rub 10x, Tap 10x, Circle clockwise 10x and counter clockwise 10x the left area where chest meet arm, above arm pit
Use left hand to Rub 10x, Tap 10x, Circle clockwise 10x and counter clockwise 10x the Right area where chest meet arm, above arm pit
Rub using both hand up and down from area above groin to the rib area
Use right hand to rub clockwise (your stomach is the clock) following the direction on digestion
The groin area is located at the same place in men and women—at the junction where the upper body or abdomen meets the thigh. Use both hand to rub 10x, tap 10x, clockwise and counterclockwise rub
Use both hand to rub 10x, tap 10x, clockwise and counter clockwise rub on the area behind knee
Stand and switch from tiptoe to heels while bending your knee and also swing your arms left to right or front to back. The idea is to flex calf musle that pump lymph and also arm movement to push other lymph node
