5 Minute Lymphatic Drainage Routine for your Immune System Health
In this video, I show a short, easy routine of lymphatic drainage of the face to stimulate the lymph nodes and lymphatic system to improve immune health to reduce the risk for illness. Lymphatic drainage doesn't require equipment and the lymph nodes in your face, head, and neck are important to care for, especially if an illness is coming on.

I hope this might be the answer I have long been seeking...
😊
thanks for sharing! i find it ironic that while Chinese Qigong has been practicing lymphatic stimulation for THOUSANDS of years, western medicine, for the most part, seems to concentrate only on the digestive, respiratory, and circulation systems of the body, pretty much ignoring the lymph system? Kudo's to Cancer Rehab PT TaiChi and Qigong are the healthiest things i have evr done :)
Thank you❤
I feel the same. Western medicine has overlooked all the essential elements of being, say it lymphatic system of body energy. They are busy suppressing the symptoms, over phone, as doctors wont see you in person unless they think it’s required after talking (lol) to you over the phone.
Western medicine can be summed up in one word. Drugs!! Period
Greetings from Taipei, Taiwan! Thanks for the video!
Western medicine is a business. They can't make money on lymphatic stimulation
The area around my lower ear/throat has been sore for 12 years ever since I had a bi-radical mastectomy. I have mentioned it to 3 Drs. Nobody ever explained this procedure!!!!! 5 minutes is all it took to relieve it ❤️🤟 I cannot believe that!!! Thank you so much!!!!
I experienced a lessening of congestion in my sinuses and ears within minutes after completing all the movements. Thank you Kelly. I will do this daily
Love to hear that!
yes me too!
@@CancerRehabPT '
Thank you Kelly! It’s been 4 weeks since I had a cold and I’m still waking up congested. Noticeably easier to breathe through the nose after completing these movements.
@@CancerRehabPTi've felt that too!! Many thanks for the video
I literally just did it, and i felt a big difference. Thank you.
Your gentleness and grace are a gift! Thank you.
Thank you so much for such kind words! It made my day 😊
❤️
This knowledge was such a huge part of my recovery from long covid. I had started a detoxing diet and massage routine but it wasn't till I found you and these techniques that really moved the remains of the Adrenal Fatigue out. Thank you, young lady. You answered my prayers
Wonderful.
What detox diet are you doing?
Can you please elaborate, what is the detox diet?
This is Huge for me too !! It’s going to help a lot, I can tell. Found this at 5am, on exactly the day I need it… the universe works wonders! Thank you so much.
I have long covid and when I started my cellular detox I keep getting herx reaction. My doctor said your lymphatic system is probably clogged. How did you fully recover?
Interesting that some of those movements are something many people instinctually do sometimes, for example when concentrating, thinking hard, frustrated, etc.
Hi Kelly. Thank you so much for your lymphatic draining videos. I was diagnosed with having sarcoidosis (toxins in the lymph nodes). I brought a rebounder, God allowed me to see your video and the rest is history. I incorporate this video, your dry brushing video, and others and I can literally feel the sensation of the drainage in the nodes in my head and neck area. You are so appreciated for what you do. This is truly life saving. Many blessings to you!❤
Hi Kelly if a person has had Breast cancer like 30 years ago is it safe to practice lymphatic drainage?
@@andreafranco7253 i wonder about the very same thing
@Andrea - Lymphatic Drainage is important for everyone. Your Lymph Nodes act like your body’s drains. Always conduct your own research to compliment….💜
God is good. Happy for ya!
I am currently doing PT for this very problem. It really works well! And my therapist says,Drink lots and lots of water to get that fluid moving!
One of the most gentle exercises I've seen so far. Thank you.
My sinuses cleared up! I'm saving this video to use again in the future. Thank you.
Thank you for keeping it simple and calm
Wonderful! And so relaxing! Thank you so very much for posting this!
I learned this Lymphatic Massage that is so important for my situation! God Bless! 🙏🏻💛🕊🍃
Thank you so much. I felt a sense of relief after doing this routine. I am definitely going to make this a daily/weekly routine.
Thanks so much for this. I will make this part of my daily routine!
Thank you thank you for posting this, short and to the point! I don’t have much free time but this is just 5 minutes so it’s totally doable
I’m glad to hear that! Thanks for the feedback
sounds like ME last year but life got better when i reevaluated my priorities. for me, free time was the secret to happiness :)
No matter How much is going on in your life always make time to be kind to yourself ❤️😏😉
@@angelicclement5839😮😅😅🎉g77o9⁵🎉
Do it while you are in bed, before sleeping and or after waking up. Or during a shower or while watching tv. You make it a habit that barely cost time this way.
Thanks Kelly I immediately felt better after following your instructions
Thank you for this video. You explained everything so perfectly and succinctly. Wonderfully done!
Thank you! This is the best set of lymph exercises I’ve found. Another had me doing 25 repetitions in each area and it made things very lengthy 😊
I have COVID right now and an autoimmune disease and I needed this SO much tonight. I could breathe out of my nose for like 3 minutes after this!
Thank you! I’m going to try to do this several times a week 💕
Immediately felt a bit better after doing this! Thank you!
I appreciate you video. It helped me get over a nasty bronchitis and it has since been part of my daily routine.
Always feel much better after doing this. Thank you
Thanks Kelly I had a Total knee replacement 11 days ago and feel sluggish this is great info !!!
So different than what my PT taught me. I like your way, so much more. Thank you.
Thank you so much…. I love this in the morning… God bless you for sharing…🙏🏽🌺
Thank you Kelly!! I have been fighting a nasty bronchitis for the past two weeks and all of the sudden a couple of days ago one side of my neck froze up (thought it was a pinched nerve) and both ears started hurting including my earlobes! It never crossed my mind that my lymphatic system may be on overload.. until I saw your video… I had almost immediate relief after I did the drainage exercise! I am definitely going to continue doing this until I recover… thank you so much! This has helped me a lot. 🌺🌸🦋💕🙏
After doing this I felt so relax. Thank you!
What a strange thing that at the very time I am aware of swollen lymph nodes under my chin from a week long tooth issue, your video pops up. I did the exercises with you, I feel relief in my face, jaw and neck. Thank you! I’ve subscribed.
Thank you for your amazing work.
Thank you I just said a prayer thanking you and a prayer for the watchers of this video!! Great idea…
Thank you. God bless you and your family. 😊
I feel it working. And my sinuses feel freer also. Thank you
Just tried the exercise feeling relieved from the sinus congestion ! Thanks
Hi friend ! Girl I am adopting you as my doctor! Love ALL you videos ! Especially,. Improving ankle and foot blood circulation! Enjoyed this video with charts and pictures! Great stuff! ♾️⚡♾️⚡♾️
Wow, what a difference in my sinuses, thank you 🙏🏻
I’ve had a severe headache for 2 days. I just tried this and the pain is 75% gone. Amazing. Thank you.
It was the lymph pressure
I’m going to try this next time I have a migraine
I immediately feel less congestion, thank you!
I love 💕 this video!! I started doing this just yesterday and I can already see the puffiness reducing in my face 😊 Thank you 😊
Thank you. God bless you.
My lymph nodes are always large. After the exercises with you I feel and see a big difference ♥️ the other techniques I used I was stroking all the way towards my heart and not comfortable. Thank you ❣️ I’m a new subscriber 💕✌🏽🙏🏽 Thank you, Always with Love ❤️✌🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Very well and sympathically explained. Simple, calm explanations without disturbing music in the background. I got the diagnose of lymphatic edema when I was 28... My legs and feet are often swollen despite all compression.
Thank you, like the saying goes "Everybody is good at something" and it shows.
Love your calm clear and serene voice and the way you explained this Your so great at this. Than you ❤
This is exactly the video I’ve been wanting to find, thank you❣️
I have done some of these for a long time but never knew the things you shared in this video. Thank you.
Thank you for this exercise routine. Sometimes the glands under my jawline get a bit more noticable. It may be associated with a few symptoms like scratchy throat or sinus pressure, other times not. I usually pop some good quality zinc tablets as well. This exercise was very easy and relaxing. Nice that I can do this anytime.👍
Thank you so much for your kindness, this is great. God be with you. 😊😊😊
Thank you so much for posting this, short and to the point-immune system already feels stronger
You’re so welcome! I’m glad it was helpful
What a great video! Thank you 🙏 ❤
Thanks Kelly for showing these gentle massage technique to activate lymphatic system I definitely going to add them in my daily massage routine, thanks once again, you have a sweet calming voice.
you are so sweet !!. it was very clear , easy and short . thanks for sharing your knowledge. ❤❤❤
This was so easy to follow along and your voice made me feel so safe and calm! Thank you for this :)
Kelly? This promotes calmness in me…I had covid a month ago today….my right collarbone is sore when massaging it….Thank you for posting this
We need more of you!! 💛
God bless you Kellie
I learned this Lymphatic Massage that is so important for my situation! God Bless!
made my sinuses/headache and neck feel much better, thanks.
Thank you Kelly 🫶🏻
Holy smokes, this works! I have a swollen lymph from bartonella and this helped reduce the swelling some. Thank you!
Thank you, I'd always try to sleep on the side of a swollen node hoping the blood flow would move it out but I didn't know such an extensive approach had been developed.
This so so great. I am waiting to get a broken tooth pulled (in a few days) and have a little infection and have been using heat and massage (in addition to a poultice, herbs etc.) it is keeping it at bay (very mild) but this video is great since I forgot about a few steps. Thank you!!!
I've been on various medications since I had a stroke and a couple of cardiac events a couple years ago, and eventually a double bypass surgery that have been making me feel quite groggy. I'm not certain if it's the meds, but I have been getting some discomfort in my neck along with frequently feeling fatigued. ECG and chest MRI have revealed nothing remarkable, so I had nothing to lose by trying these exercises after your video randomly popped up in my feed. They're definitely relaxing and left me feeling less foggy after just one session following your instructions here. Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much! In addition to the massage information, your kindness comes through…. Making it very welcoming to listen in and follow along. ✨✨💖✨✨
Thank you So Much for this Kelley... Healer to Healer, I'm a Holistic Health and Wellness path coach, I really appreciate this exercise... It would have come in handy when treating my friend of Melanoma cancer 2 years ago but I can pass this along to my family members who are suffering now... Thank you again 🙂 Wayne
I first saw you a few nights ago and did the 10 minute video (sorry now sure which one), I did this then went to bed. I have been needing to use a neti pot as my sinuses have been so bad I had trouble breathing. I was still a little blocked when I went to sleep, not a lot of noticeable difference, however, the next morning my sinuses were clear. Wow. Really, wow. Thank you. This is going to be my morning routine from now on.
I accidentally hit this video and I realized I probably should have and decided to follow along and after going through the routine my stuffy head cleared up.... Amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 thanks so much for sharing a simple but powerfully useful technique!!
Oh wonderful! I hope you’re feeling better 😊
Thsnks Kelly , For helping me out. Your very kind and graceful. 🎉🎉
Thank you so much for teaching us❤.. it really makes a major difference once you start practicing it. You are amazing! 🎉
Excellent video. Thank you so much. God bless you.
Thank you this help me a lot God bless you ❤
Thank you Kelly.
This feels great! Thank you 💫
Thank you so very much for your time & educational video ❤
Thank you. I tried it while you talked and it felt pretty good
This was super helpful! Thanks
I have never heard of this before. I never knew I was doing anything other enjoying the way that it feels, even after massaging those areas made a difference. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much!!! This was very helpful and easy to follow! Subscribed. :)
Found you today, have sinus headache & pressure! Now a new Subscriber!

Thank you very much. i could feel it working right away.
I feel so much warmer after doing this. I van feel the blood flow better. thank you ! Do you have a 5-10 minute leg routine I can pair with this as I do this first thing every morning now
This video provides a concise and practical routine for enhancing lymphatic system function, contributing positively to overall health and immune response. The presenter's expertise and clear instructions make it accessible and easy to follow, ensuring viewers can incorporate these beneficial practices into their daily wellness routines with gratitude.
You’re wonderful. Thank you for sharing.
Great stuff! Just learning more about dry brushing and how important thr lymph system is. Thank u so much for this.
This has helped tremendously! I have post nasal drip from a deviatied septum and the nodes one my neck are very swollen. I appreciate these videos so much! I didn't know that allergies and post nasal drip caused lymphnodes to swell?! Anyways thank you so much 🙂
بعد ممارسه التمرين هل خف التنقيط ف انا اعاني منه ايضا
good good good. I like the gentleness of these methods. but there are other methods, which are a bit more, well not so gentle, but as much effective. I'm talking about using a medium hard brush. I personally use this one, because it includes the whole body, not only the upper part of your torso and the face. plus it is a great cleaning system for your skin. I know for a fact that there are many more technics both external and internal to cleanse and stimulate your lymphatic system. and that is great because you have a choice to exercise the one which suits you. as long as you are taking care of your lymphatic system consciously and regularly, it is all good.
So relaxing! Loved it
Thank you for your helpful video.I watch you from Belgium and truly appreciate your professionalism.Keep going ,it helps alot of people.Greetings,
Thank you so much fir this video which help me a lot ...l have swelling on my fèet ...l stand a lot while working ..l am 57 yrs old...l wish to have you online...God bless you my dear..you are a blessing for me
Thanking you . abundant blessings
I happened to walk into the office just as they were re-opening. They had cancelled most of their appointments for the day because the city has lost power due to winter storms. They decided to re open and starting to call people to come in, when I walked in and was able to be seen, because no one was there. The doctor was alarmed to see this large blister, pocket like thing that appeared in my nasal cheek area. She immediately put me on a low does antibiotic and a topical. I normally follow holistic healing but not all the time. I came across this lymphatic drainage video, I've done dry brushing so I know what this about and it makes sense to me that this will be a benefit to my situation. Thanks, I will be incorporating this into my current daily routine. I sincerely appreciate this.
I’ve been doing these massages with a gua sha stone. I’ve noticed less puffiness on my face, better skin texture. Overall less congestion.
This video is brilliant! Thank you so much for sharing 🙏🤗 ~ Mandy
