Summary
Perry Nickelston explains the Big 6 lymphatic drainage protocol and how it helps with chronic pain by impacting nociceptors - sensory nerves that act as threat detectors throughout the body.
Key Points
- The Big 6 targets six major lymph node clusters in drainage order
- Order matters: collarbone, neck, armpits, abdomen, groin, behind knees
- Must clear downstream drainage points before upstream
- Nociceptors (pain sensors) are affected by lymphatic congestion
- Rubbing, tapping, and circling motions stimulate lymph flow
- Initial detox reaction is normal - may feel worse before better
- Do daily, ideally morning or before bed
