Natural Dry Brush – Skin Brushing

Product Description

Natural Dry Brush – Skin Brushing Simple low cost self-healing technique!
A simple & low cost effective technique for aiding the body and its need for daily detoxification is to practice skin brushing. When you do skin brushing, you help the lymphatic system to cleanse the body and rid itself of toxins. The soft sweeping strokes towards the direction of the heart encourages the discharge of lymphatic wastes along with the removal of environmental toxins and promotes healthy skin. The brush used should contain only natural vegetable bristles as synthetic bristles tend to irritate the skin. The brush should always be kept dry and not used for wet bathing. Also occasionally leave your brush out in the sun for self-cleaning. The body should be dry when dry brushing. Dry skin brushing gently stretches the skin promoting lymph flow and the knocking off dead skin cells. Pass over every part of the body, always in the direction of the heart. Use long sweeping strokes just gentle toward the heart. Light pressure is used as the lymphatic system responds to gentle strokes.
Further suggestions:
Brush up the arms toward the shoulders. Brush up the back toward the shoulders. Brush down the neck toward the shoulders. Brush up the chest, starting around the belly button, up the center of the chest and up and around the breast and up under the arms. Then brush up the legs starting with the soles of the feet, then up the lower leg to knee, then upper leg to groin and groin to belly button. This is the direction lymph flows in the body. Skin brushing should be performed once or twice daily, before bathing. A complete skin brushing takes no more than 2 minutes. Finally follow the skin brushing with a warm bath or shower & a cooler final rinse to invigorate blood circulation.
