Lymphatic drainage and anti-edema effects

Lymphatic drainage is the process of removing excess fluid, stimulating the lymphatic system, and eliminating toxins from the body[1]. Swelling, in turn, occurs as a result of fluid retention in the tissues, which can be caused by a variety of reasons, from heart dysfunction to problems with the complex lymphatic drainage system.

How can pine nut oil have a positive effect on the lymphatic system and help fight swelling? It contains valuable bioactive substances such as vitamins E and PP, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and amino acids that help activate metabolic processes and strengthen the vascular system[2]. This can help improve blood flow and reduce fluid retention in the tissues, which in turn can reduce swelling.

In addition, pine nut oil has anti-inflammatory properties, which is important when treating swelling. Inflammation can be one of the causes of fluid retention, so consuming the pine nut oil can help to address this factor and reduce swelling.

Massage is recommended for those who suffer from swelling, dropsy, or other problems associated with fluid retention in the body[3]. Also this procedure helps to improve immunity, strengthen the nervous system, and improve the general psycho-emotional state.

During the massage procedure, you can use pine nut oil in its pure form – it has a light texture that facilitates its absorption through the skin. This allows the active components of the pine nut oil to penetrate into the deep layers of tissues, where they can have an anti-edematous effect. As well as using it as a carrier oil in combination with other massage oils.
