Where Does the Lymph Go After Drainage?

From Puff to Flush—Your Body’s Hidden Detox Highway!

Hey Lymphies!
Ever wondered what actually happens to the lymph after your MLD (Manual Lymphatic Drainage) or dry brushing session? Where does all that puffiness and extra fluid go? Let’s take a journey through your body’s magical drainage map—because the flow doesn’t stop at your skin!

First Things First—What IS Lymph?

Lymph is a clear-ish fluid filled with:
• Water
• Proteins
• Cellular waste
• Immune cells
• Bacteria, viruses, and toxins

It’s like your body’s wastewater, and your lymphatic system is the plumbing network designed to collect it from your tissues and send it packing!

The Drainage Route (The Fun Part!)

After you stimulate your lymphatic system (through MLD, exercise, rebounding, or infrared saunas), here’s what happens step-by-step:

1. Tissues → Lymph Capillaries
Lymph fluid is collected from between your cells (where waste builds up). Think of this as your body picking up trash from every neighborhood.

2. Lymph Capillaries → Collecting Vessels
These vessels have valves to push lymph forward (like a one-way street!). They move it toward central lymph nodes.

3. Nodes → Filter Party!
Lymph passes through lymph nodes, where it gets filtered. Immune cells here attack bacteria, viruses, and debris.
It’s like your lymph goes through a security checkpoint!

4. Cleaned Lymph → Ducts
Filtered lymph travels to the thoracic duct (left side of your neck) or right lymphatic duct—the final stop before exiting!

5. Ducts → Subclavian Vein
Here’s the magic moment!
The ducts drain the lymph directly into your bloodstream, at the base of your neck, where the subclavian vein lives.

6. Bloodstream → Kidneys + Liver
Now the filtered lymph becomes part of your circulating blood. From here:
• Kidneys filter out water-soluble waste → p*e it out!
• Liver handles fat-soluble toxins and waste → p**p it out!

And voilà!
Your lymph just became waste… and left your body.
Flush complete!

That’s Why You Might Notice…
• More p*eing after a session
• Increased bowel movements
• Feeling thirsty
• Fatigue (your body is processing the detox!)
• Reduced swelling or puffiness

So YES—you’re not imagining it. The flush is real.

Fun Lymphie Facts:
• You have 500–700 lymph nodes in your body!
• The thoracic duct drains around 75% of your lymph!
• Your lymphatic system can move 1.5–3 liters of lymph per day with the right support!
• No heart? No pump! The lymph system depends on movement, breath, and pressure (that’s why you NEED to move!).

Support the Flush:
• Hydrate (lymph is mostly water!)
• Move daily (walking, rebounding, stretching)
• Breathe deep (diaphragmatic breathing helps move lymph!)
• Massage & MLD
• Eat clean (to reduce toxin load)

So, Where Does It Go?

In simple terms:
Lymph → Blood → Kidneys/Liver → Toilet!
Your body is brilliant. And your lymphatic system? Even more so.

So the next time you finish your session and head to the loo—give a little thanks to the silent flow keeping you well.

Your jaw tension is literally crushing your breathing and destroying your posture from the inside out.

The masseter muscle (your jaw) shares a neurological highway with your diaphragm and pelvic floor they’re all connected through the same fascial chains and nervous system pathways.

Here’s what happens when your jaw is clenched:
•Your diaphragm can’t fully expand, reducing oxygen by up to 30%

•Your pelvic floor compensates by over-tightening, creating lower back tension

•Your entire core becomes rigid instead of responsive

•This creates a domino effect: tight jaw → shallow breathing → weak core → poor posture

The Science: 1️⃣ Trigeminal nerve (jaw) → 2️⃣ Vagus nerve (diaphragm) → 3️⃣ Pelvic nerve → 4️⃣ Postural collapse

With a clenched jaw: Your diaphragm stays elevated, your pelvis tilts forward, creating that hunched-over “tech neck” posture.

With a relaxed jaw: Your diaphragm drops fully, your pelvis stabilizes, your entire spine decompresses.

Most people try to “fix” their posture by pulling their shoulders back. That’s like trying to fix a foundation by painting the roof.

The REAL fix?

Release the jaw tension that’s hijacking your entire breathing system 24/7.

A couple questions that have come in the last couple of days here answered below.

We are half capacity of 40 at this time and are so excited to experience the interest in this collaboration🙏🤲💖

This event is open to all ages and genders provided the individual is able to be present during workshops. If you have a body this is designed for you.💪🦵🦶

This absolutely could be ideal for teenagers as well as adults! Think of the headstart they would receive of innerstanding their own body. 🤯👀😎

These are gentle flowing movements full of intention. Instant relief from tension, stress, heavy energy. Designed to gently stir your being, versus shake and wake you. This part of the year is all about intention, with soft, gentle, and balanced steps.

It always amazes me how much one session of intentional movement actually does for the body. Showing up may be the hardest thing to do in this day👣

A day to reconnect with your own center in a safe, and supportive environment 💝

Join us in anchoring yourself back home into the safety of regulated systems.

This day begins with open doors and open hearts at 10:00AM. Step inside and settle in to a community built for you that can support, guide, and even learn with you.

Movement specialist Brittany Uchach will begin our day with Fascial Maneuvers. Expanding your knowledge of what fascia actually is and how to release lines of tension with movements and breath designed specifically for release. An hour dedicated to innerstanding your body, how it moves, why it may not be moving as freely as you desire, and how to utilize your breath to bring about the regulation our nervous systems require.

Megan MacDonald will then be sharing with us how the pelvic floor and breath are interconnected and guide us through a series of movements to improve that connection through her specialty in Pilates.

A short break for lunch, personal space, or even a walk about outside will break the day up for 30 minutes of free time. Please note you are responsible for bringing your own lunch. Suggestion is to eat light as we move into the afternoon.

Jen Romanchuk will lead us through a gentle series of movements to aid in digestion, and again, continue with the regulation for the nervous system through her specialty of Yoga. Noting her focus is also in the alignment of fascial work/release this workshop is bound to help your body, mind and spirit!

Bonnie Armstrong and Crystal Sutherland will be offering the space to simply just be. In this workshop we will be laying down and letting the Earth support the body as the vibrations move through and all around you from singing bowls. A gentle mastery of combined alchemy for the support and integration of the day.

A beautiful day all about you with the space to find yourself in your center.

We look forward to working with, by, and for you🙏

Your investment is 123.00 to be transferred to eveofess@gmail.com

So good! Using a cup for decompression to help create space for all things to release and flow again🙌 we use Dynamic Cupping here to achieve faster results and rarely a mark left behind💝

The Pedorthic Association of Canada (PAC) estimates plantar fasciitis affects about 10% of Canadians at some point in their lives.

Myofascial cupping can help! Cups may be applied to the foot, calves, and surrounding area to reduce the tension and inflammation caused by plantar fasciitis.

A recent study found that runners who received cupping therapy saw a significant improvement in parameters of pain, dynamic balance, and functional performance.
