Lymphatic drainage massage is a popular treatment designed to reduce bloating and swelling. Typically recommended to people who have gone through illness or medical treatment, it\u2019s meant to get rid of excess fluid buildup in areas like arms, legs, ankles, and others.<\/p>\n

According to one Australian woman, however, there are immediate downsides. After getting a lymphatic drainage massage, she took to TikTok to share an unexpected side effect.<\/p>\n

What Side Effect Did She Experience?<\/h2>\n

In a recent clip, which has garnered over 1.4 million views, TikTok creator Bonnie Rose (@bonnieerose) says she expected to feel \u201csnatched\u201d after the treatment, but it instead made her feel like she was about to get sick.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust got a lymphatic drainage massage and I feel like I\u2019m gonna throw up,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

She explains that she expected the treatment to leave her feeling refreshed and energized. Instead, she says the opposite happened once the session ended.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought I was gonna leave feeling snatched, ready to go,\u201d she says. \u201cI feel so sick.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Rose, the massage itself wasn\u2019t uncomfortable. \u201cThe actual massage was so relaxing, and it wasn\u2019t painful at all,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

However, she started feeling uneasy as soon as she stood up. \u201cThen I got up, and I felt like I was gonna pass out,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n

Curious whether the reaction was normal, she says she began looking into it online.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen I researched it, and everyone else seems to feel the same way after getting it,\u201d she says. \u201cSo woo hoo!\u201d<\/p>\n

Commenters Share Their Experiences<\/h2>\n

In the comments section, viewers shared stories from their own lymphatic massage and advice on what Rose should do next.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had the lymphatic flu for 2 weeks,\u201d shared one user. \u201cI was toxic.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGirl drink 2-3L of water and have a fat nap!\u201d advised another. \u201cIt\u2019s a lot on the body I always tell my clients this!\u201d<\/p>\n

Another viewer had similar advice. \u201cGirl make sure you drink a lot of water to flush out the toxins!!\u201d they wrote. \u201cAnd also drink electrolytes\/celtic salt water in between !! I slacked on this my first time and I was legit sick the next couple days days!\u201d<\/p>\n

Is It Common for People to Feel Sick After Lymphatic Drainage Massage?<\/h2>\n

According to Cleavelend Clinic<\/em>, people rarely respond negatively to lymphatic massages. When it does happen, it can show up as fatigue, headaches, or nausea.<\/p>\n

However, just like Rose said, many people have shared online that lymphatic drainage massage made them feel ill.<\/p>\n

On Reddit\u2019s r\/massage, a user wrote that they felt so sick after standing from the massage table that they could barely walk to their car. Additionally, they shared that it also harmed their emotional well-being.<\/p>\n

Another user on r\/massage described getting sick with a 101\u00b0 fever that didn\u2019t go away for one and a half days after getting lymphatic massages daily.<\/p>\n

Cleveland Clinic advises informing your healthcare provider if you experience similar symptoms, as these are considered complications.<\/p>\n
