Lymphatic drainage & dry body brushing.

 Your skin is a complex system that serves many functions and buffers your body from extreme temperatures and chemicals. It also protects you from bacteria, pollution and is in fact a crucial part of the world around you.

  Your skin also plays an important part in helping your body detoxify itself from waste and toxins that might not be able to release via other means.

  This is where dry skin brushing can be invaluable, not only in brushing off dead skin cells but also in activating waste removal via your lymph nodes.    

  Lymphatic Drainage 

  Your lymphatic system is responsible for eliminating cellular waste products. This system collects all the waste from your tissues for elimination, a process referred to as lymphatic drainage. Your lymph system does not have a pump so it requires exercise and movement to stimulate it to function well.

 When your lymphatic system is not working properly, waste and toxins can build up and make you sick. Lymphatic congestion is a major factor leading to inflammation and disease. By stimulating your lymphatic system with dry brushing you will help your body release toxins and this simple method is a powerful means detoxifying your body.

 The benefits of dry brushing

  Dry brushing will remove dead dry skin, improving its appearance, clearing your clogged pores, and allowing your skin to breathe. It will also improve circulation which helps to bring oxygen and nutrients to the skin.

  Reduces Cellulite

  Dry skin brushing is also one of the most effective ways to eliminate cellulite. It does so by softening hard fat deposits while distributing them more evenly. This helps to diminish the appearance of cellulite.

 

 How to body brush?

  The best time to do dry brushing is the morning before you take a shower. You may wish to avoid doing it at night-time since it can energize you.

  Get a high-quality dry brush with bristles made from natural materials. They should feel stiff but should not scratch.

 The pressure you apply should be firm but not painful. Don't scrub; don't brush your face or other sensitive areas that might become irritated as a result.

Start from the bottom up, at your feet, brushing always toward your heart, which is best for circulation and your lymphatic system. Continue to work your way up your legs to your arms, chest, back, and stomach.

 This as you can see is very simple and it will take a few minutes each day but it’s very powerful when done daily , soon you'll get all the health benefits of it.
