DRY BRUSHING


Hello Folks!!!

I am doing a quick Poll, Do you know about Dry Brushing and if so, do you practice Dry Brushing??? Please let me know in the comment section below!


So healthy living is all about being aware and making better choices about what we feed our bodies, what we put on it, how to improve our defenses against pollutants in our environment and what things we can do daily to support our health.

I will like to talk about Dry Brushing...

Dry Brushing is a technique where you brush your entire body with a brush. You are not doing it in the shower...you are brushing your body while it is dry.

Why?

Well there's lot of benefits of Dry Brushing as illustrated in the chart below.


So now that you have the benefits, just buy any brush and dry brush??? NO!

You want to purchase a wooden brush with natural bristles such as Boar bristles. The bristles should not be plastic and the bristles should not be very stiff or it won't be effective. 

These are the brushes I use to Dry Brush....


I use the long one for my back and the handheld one for the front of my body! What I love about Dry Brushing is that, it energizes me and it drains my lymphatic system. And what's there not to love about reducing Cellulite - Count me in!

Remember: 
  • Do it daily! - At least once a day
  • Do it before you take a shower - only 4 minutes to Dry Brush
  • It feels a bit itchy at first as your lymph nodes get agitated but after a number of times, it's addictive!
  • The brushing sequence is important, brushing direction must always be towards the heart
Check out the graphic below for the brushing flow....start from your toes and work your way up!
