Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is primarily focused on promoting the natural circulation of lymph fluid throughout the body. This specialized massage technique aims to aid in the removal of toxins and waste products from the tissue, thereby enhancing the body’s immune function and overall health. MLD specifically targets the lymphatic system, which plays a critical role in filtering and removing waste products and maintains fluid balance in the body.

This process can help reduce swelling and promote a sense of well-being, making it particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing lymphedema or after surgeries that affect lymph nodes. By stimulating the lymphatic system, MLD supports detoxification processes and enhances the body's ability to eliminate harmful substances.

In contrast, enhancing muscle strength, improving cardiovascular health, and promoting skin rejuvenation, while valid goals in various health and beauty practices, do not directly align with the primary intention of MLD.
