Dry Brushing the Back and Hips - The direction of lymphatic flow

A common question I receive is about the direction of lymphatic flow for the backside of the body. Whether you're into dry brushing or you are just doing lymphatic drainage massage, this is a #shorts on which direction to guide your strokes and the fluid.
Here is the Brush I used in this Video: amzn.to/3jM9goe
Or, this popular set of Brushes including Body Brush (with long handle) and Face Brush: amzn.to/3nwVzvM
If someone's skin is too sensitive or delicate for dry brushing, then I try these for texture: amzn.to/2Mp2R7v

Or, if dry brushing isn't safe or too harsh, then consider manual lymph drainage using your hand see video link below

At 44… with a mast cell disorder and a medical history full of falls, accidents, and various food and environmental allergies… I struggle with lymphatic drainage issues. These videos have been so helpful. Thank you for expanding on the matter and including the easy to understand (and visualize) info graphic. They are deeply appreciated and a boon for those who don’t have easy (or consistent) access to a therapist or clinician.

08/20/2021 This is the best explanation of the lymphatic system flow to its end points. The dry brush or even a gentle message works well for me I do it several times a week in the gym shower. My under eye bags are gone. I also do my arms and hands, feet and legs. I knew about the front crotch and the funky smelling upper butt crack but I did not know the back flow pattern. Thanks Don

@@FlipMacz 02/16/2024 Hello Flip.Thank you for your comment. Yes I did have to make it that gross. If you do know what lymphodemia is, I understand it is a pre cancer. Have you discussed this cancer with your doctor? Only a cancer specialist will talk seriously when they tell you that you have lymphatic cancer. Your gp will not or will only send you to a cancer specialist. GP's sell drugs not health. There are several specialists on line. Look it up for yourself. Look at the surgery results. That is way more graphac than My telling my personal study and the results of the efforts. That ain't gross. Cancer is. Sincerely Don

@@gingermonroe4153 Hello Ginger. Thank you for your comment. I am physically temporarily disabled. In my comment I tried to explain how I attempt to dry brush in the handicap shower at my health club. I shower my legs slowly with soap and a face cloth. I rub my lower legs 5 times below my knee upward on both sides then 5 times on all 4 sides of my thigh to my but and just below the navel. I cannot reach my feet or most of my calf with our sitting. I try to do my back while drying off after the shower. Gentle is the word. This also works well on my head, face, neck and shoulders.The under arms are probably the most important because they are close to the heart. Gently rub your arms from the wrist as you do your legs I do not have a cancer specialist to help my lymphatic system so I went online to learn. It doesn't take much time and does not have instant relief. Life without lymphodema is worth it. Sincerely Don

[@dongrider9040]

Hello Dr. I am sorry the comment went back to you. It was in response from one of your subscribers. That person did not like the reference to butt crack and groin as too graphic. I just repeated how I now have to dry brush wet in the handicap shower at the health club. I cannot reach my back or shoulders or my legs below my knees. Thank you for the information you present. You are very special. Thank you again and again Sincerely Don. Ps I am still subscribed despite efforts from big tech.

How often should I dry brush my body if I have no issues but am doing it from circulation and helping natural drainage ?

If you have lymph node impairment in the groin area from cancer surgery does everything go up towards the armpits?

[@JGalegria]

How do you do this if your lymphatic system is compromised?? I don't know whether the lymph nodes in my groin are affected by the pelvic radiation treatment I'm receiving. I had 9 pelvic nodes removed during radical hysterectomy and the gynea pelvic region is in the radiotherapy field. No one has said that the groin is in the radiation treatment area but im concerned about pushing too much lymph fluid towards this region while it is not functioning properly. I wish I knew how to protect against lemphedema in this situation

[@jetzsetter6205]

Thanks babe

[@Soso-ou2mz]

Before or after the shower?

[@bushra02khan]

Can we use dry brush from any brand?

[@lauram7803]

I'm going to find a more recent video to ask in case you don't see this. Instead of dry brushing, massage, or guasha can you just use a washrag or microfiber cloth to follow this pattern in the shower while you are already washing? If not, why not?

[@dcrafson]

What's the best brand of brushes?

Okay AI robot makers how hard can it be to make a trainable robot massager? The $300K Euro model is a bit out of reach for typical lymphedema sufferers. Get it down to $1,250 +/_
