Lymphatic Body Brushing

What is Lymphatic Body Brushing?

By Annette Scott

Removing the top layer of dead skin and stimulating the circulation of blood feeding the skin are essential for maintaining youthful, glowing and supple skin.  Skin brushing has been used throughout the world for centuries.  Dry skin brushing is one of the best ways to cleanse the skin without removing the protective mantle of acid and oils. It gently and effectively removes the top layer of dead skin cells with its build-up of dirt and acid, and deeply cleanses the pores.

Dry skin brushing is one of the most powerful ways to cleanse the lymphatic system.  Waste material is carried away from the cells by the blood and the lymph.  Skin brushing stimulates the release of this material from the cells near the surface of the body.  Eventually, most of the toxins along with their carrier cells, primarily lymphocytes, find their way to the colon for elimination.
