Dry Skin Brushing

Published Wednesday, April 7, 2010 By admin. Under Holistic Protocols & Alternative Medicine  Tags: Cleans Lymphatic System, Increases Cell Renewal, Removes Dead Skin, Strengthens Immune System  

The skin is the largest organ in the body, and since it is responsible for about one-fourth of the body’s detoxification each day, that makes it one of the most important paths of elimination. Unfortunately, it’s also one of the most neglected paths.

The skin is often called the ‘third kidney’. Toxins/Ama gather beneath the epidermis from improper pH levels in body soaps, skin creams, anti-perspirants, synthetic fibers worn next to the skin, without causing noticeable symptoms.

Skin brushing, helps your entire lymphatic system to cleanse itself. Dry skin brushing improves surface circulation of the skin, encouraging your body’s discharge of metabolic wastes and resulting in an improved ability to deal with bacteria. Your skin will look and feel healthier and more resilient.

How To Dry Skin Brush:

Buy a brush with natural bristles and a very long handle. It looks like a regular bath brush.

Skin brush before showering or bathing or in lieu of a water bathe, once or twice a day. Do not wet the brush or skin, this stretches the skin.

Avoid any areas of skin eruption.

Brush long strokes towards the heart on the extremities.

Circular, clockwise strokes on the abdomen, circular on elbows, knees.

Circular or up-down on the chest.

Pay special attention to underneath the arms. Try to brush the entire body. Remember to do the soles of the feet. If you’re pressed for time, just do the soles of the feet (this affects the entire body), stomach and underarms.

Try to brush under the chin because of the lymph nodes there; you do not have to brush your face, it’s probably too tender. Brushing the scalp promotes thick hair.

Wash your skin brush every few weeks and let it dry thoroughly.
