There is a system called circulatory system in the body. This system allows blood to circulate in the body with arteries and veins. Therefore, when it comes to veins, blood vessels come to mind. However, there is also a system called the lymphatic system. This system includes lymph vessels and lymph nodes.  This system contains a fluid called lymphatic fluid. The flow rate of this fluid can sometimes slow down and there may be swelling in the body called oedema accumulation. For this reason, lymph massage is performed with a lymph device.
