Have you ever walked through the Health & Beauty aisles and spotted that big brush shown to the right and wondered what in the world is that for? Crazy enough, I didn't know what it was for, but bought it as a way to scrub my back during showering. During body treatment week in school, I was introduced to this 'apparatus' and soon learned of all the wonderful benefits that can be acquired through its use.
First, a question for thought. Did you know that the skin is the one of the most important organs that is responsible in the elimination of daily toxins, yet the last to receive nutrients and first to show deficiencies? Well, dry body brushing is a technique that detoxifies the skin and stimulates all the other organs of the body by providing gentle internal massaging.
9 Benefits to Dry Body Brushing are:
1. Tightens skin
2. Helps with digestion
3. Removes Cellulite
4. Stimulates Cell Renewal
5. Lightly Exfoliates
6. Strengthens Immune System
7. Stimulates Circulation
8. Stimulates Lymph Flow
9. Cleans Lymphatic System
While there is a special technique to body brushing, this may be something that you or someone close to you could benefit from. If you know anyone who suffers from diabetes, it could be used to stimulate circulation. Also, since our lymphatic system doesn't have it's own pump, whereas the circulatory system has the heart, maybe you could use it to release toxins from illness. Maybe you simply want to reduce the appearance of cellulite on the back of the thighs and butt. Whatever the reason, while it presents some of the same benefits as massaging, it is not an alternative just a cheaper supplement.
