Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
Inversion table has got nothing to with lymphoma. It won't benefit her at all. It may not harm her also.
This has nothing to do with flow of lymph but actually lymph from the upper half of the body drain downwards as well.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer further followup queries, if any.
