How do you get a towel of drainage? Isn’t that just dirt?

We completely understand why you would think that! We wish it was that simple.

The beloved drainage towel is usually placed under our clients chest as they are face down, and we are typically left with a silhouette of their body that varies in color from golden yellow to brown, to grey, to black.

This drainage we see is comprised of metabolic and cellular waste, toxins, pathogens, and bacteria that was stagnant in your tissues and synovial spaces. This debris is awaiting entrance into your lymphatic vessels to be drained and expelled from the body via our complex lymphatic system, but your body often drains in other ways—like sweating.

Repeat sauna goers will attest to some sort of discolored drainage coming out on the towels as they really sweat, and this is the same stuff that we try to massage out of you during Galore Lymphatic sessions.

With the use of an Ayurvedic oil staple, sesame oil, which is clinically proven to be able to penetrate as deep as the bone marrow, it literally cleans you from the inside out aids in ridding your body of impurities due to its anti-inflammatory properties.

The drainage we get out is essentially due to an oil pull of the tissues as we massage it deep into the structures, therefore the stagnant debris we have just drips out of the pores. It’s amazing!

How does the towel drainage vary from person to person?

The towel of drainage we get from our patients varies in several ways for each individual. Some may drain really light, similar to the color of the oil, while many drain shades of brown, grey, and even black. Some may drain a lot out of their lungs or thyroid, while others may hardly drain at all when we first begin. The drainage towel is a powerful tool that allows us to assess lymphatic stagnation and blockage in the fascia. It’s incredibly unique to every case.
