Lymphatic System Map
This visual and annotated mapping offers a clear, accessible guide to the human body’s primary lymphatic pathways, as activated through a dry brushing ritual.
By translating abstract biological processes into a step-by-step somatic experience, the map helps demystify the subtle yet vital role of the lymphatic system — a core regulator of immune function, fluid balance, and emotional release.
What’s presented here is a bridge between intuitive self-care and physiologic intelligence, restoring awareness to a foundational, often-overlooked system in the body’s hierarchy of health.
Thereby, our here attained mission concludes in paving the road and clarifying essential concepts related to the lymphatic system — for individuals across a global spread.
Enjoy!

Specs
Brush downward from the jawline to the collarbones. Supports cervical lymph drainage. Use extremely light pressure.
Gentle brushing from spine outward toward the arms. Promotes flow through scapular pathways. Optional energizing zone.
Gentle downward sweeps or circular strokes. Targets the adrenal/kidney energy area and lumbar fascia.
Brush from wrist to elbow and up to the shoulder. Focus on triceps and outer arm surface. Aligns with axillary node drainage.
Same as left: wrist → elbow → underarm. Promotes symmetrical lymphatic activation.
Brush upward from heel to back of the knee. Activates popliteal node drainage. Focus on calf muscle.
Long upward strokes from mid-thigh to gluteal fold. Supports movement toward inguinal nodes.
Mirror of left: upward strokes from calf and thigh toward glutes and groin. Activates lower limb lymphatic return.
