Why swelling happens 👇
Every day, fluid leaves your blood vessels and moves into the space between your cells.
This space is called the interstitial space.
Most of the fluid goes back into the blood.
But 2–3 liters stay behind every day🤯
Your lymphatic system is like a drainage system.
It collects this extra fluid and sends it back into the bloodstream.
If the lymphatic system is slow or blocked,
fluid stays in the tissue and swelling happens.
That’s why lymphatic massage can help reduce swelling and bloating.
It supports the body’s natural drainage system.
⚠️ Health note:
If swelling is sudden, painful, uneven, or related to a medical condition (heart, kidney, liver, or medications), it’s different from normal fluid buildup.
See a doctor first.
