Dry skin brushing is essential because the skin is the largest organ in the body, and is responsible for one-fourth of the body's detoxification each day. This also makes it, one of the most sources of elimination of toxins!
Toxicity can gather beneath the skin's surface from influences such as improper pH levels in soaps, creams and lotions, antiperspirants and deodorants as well as our environment in general.
When you do dry skin brushing you basically provide a lymphatic cleanse for your body. It works to lymph system to clean itself of the toxins that collect in the lymph glands. You use this simple technique to improve the circulation of the skin and stimulate the lymph glands. This also opens the pores of the skin, encouraging your body to discharge of metabolic wastes and toxins.

What's the point of dry skin brushing?
It will certainly enhance your skin and speed up cleansing. Remember that the skin is the largest eliminative organ of your body. But beyond that I recommend it was a lymph massage which also serves as a lymphatic cleanse. When lymph nodes swell, it indicates that they are working overtime to fight disease. In case of an uncontrolled infection, the lymphatics may act as an avenue to spread disease, providing direct access to the blood stream which can lead to severe poisoning of the body.
Unlike the circulatory system, the lymph system has no pump. The lymph system therefore needs exercise, muscle contractions and massage, which dry skin brushing provides.
Robert Gray, a well known nutritionist, says that five minutes per day of skin brushing is easily worth 30 minutes of vigorous physical exercise.
This issue is this: it is much better to clean out poisons from your body, rather than cutting out body parts that have been affected by many years of poisoning. Drugs cannot cleanse the body either.
In order to keep your skin clean and healthy, you should try to regularly indulge in dry skin brushing. Regular skin brushing can help to improve your skin health and it helps to stimulate lymph and blood circulation for the removal of impurities under the skin surface. This has the effect of enhancing the overall surface circulation of the skin.
Dry skin brushing speeds up the rate at which toxins are expelled from the body, because it motivates blood cells and lymph tissue, two key physiological detoxification avenues.
How To Do Dry Skin Brushing:
Purchase a NATURAL, NOT synthetic, bristle brush so it won't scratch the surface of the skin.
Buy a brush with a long handle, so you're able to get to those hard to reach areas of your body.
Do dry skin brushing, before showering or bathing, at least once per day, and twice, if possible.
Do NOT wet skin, since it this stretches the skin. The body has to be totally dry and naked.
Always brush lightly and gently and avoid broken skin, thread veins and varicose veins.
ALWAYS skin brush towards the heart with a sweeping type motion not a scrubbing motion.
Do circular counter-clockwise strokes on the abdomen. For the rest of the body, brush clockwise in the morning as it is revitalizing and counter-clockwise in the evening as it is relaxing.
Do circular strokes over and around breasts, but do NOT brush the nipples.
Brush each part of your body several times, completely brushing your whole body.
Brush the soles of the feet first, because the nerve endings there affect the whole body, next brush the ankles, calves, and thighs, then brush across your stomach and buttocks and lastly brush your hands to the arms. Always brush toward the hear.
Take a warm bath or shower AFTER you skin brush, which should always be followed by a cool rinse at the end.
Wash your brush every few weeks in water and let it dry.
The skin is the largest eliminative organ of the body. Regular dry skin brushing removes dead skin cells and stimulates the skin to eliminate toxins more efficiently. This speeds up the internal cleansing of the body and reduces stress to the kidneys, lungs, and colon, which also assists in the elimination of waste.
Keeping Your Skin Healthy Dry skin brushing helps remove dead cells, stimulates circulation and lymph drainage. Poor lymph drainage is linked to cellulite, arthritis, hypertension and even depression. This practice keeps skin healthy and functioning well.
It can enhance the health of your whole system. Your skin will feel softer and your consciousness stimulated. The skin is the largest organ of elimination and discharges over a pound of waste products each day. Dry brushing in the morning helps support this process. (In traditional Chinese medicine the skin is seen as the third lung.) This five to ten-minute ritual feels wonderful, and inspires you to wake up and move into your day with a fresh countenance. Additionally, it is an excellent treatment for cellulite. Rinse off in the shower afterwards if you like.
