Whole-Body Vibration
Whole-Body Vibration receives a 7.5/10 score for the lymphatic use case, based on a meta-analysis that linked vibration to reduced inflammatory markers (Wang et al. 2024). Whole-Body Vibration creates rhythmic muscle contractions…

Semaglutide
Lymphatic scoring is 5.0/10 because Semaglutide can reduce body weight that worsens lymphedema load, but it has no direct lymphatic mechanism or trial endpoint here. Moiz 2024 supports weight-loss magnitude, which is…

Metformin
No meaningful lymphatic evidence exists. Metabolic improvement may reduce systemic congestion in some patients, but metformin is not a lymphatic protocol.

Thymosin Alpha-1
Thymic education and T-cell trafficking touch lymphoid biology, but no direct lymphatic-flow, edema, or lymphatic-system trial supports a higher score.

Tirzepatide
Weight loss may reduce edema burden, mechanical compression, and inflammation in some people with obesity related swelling. Tirzepatide has no lymphatic drainage trial. Score low and do not frame it as a…
