Dry brushing is a simple and effective form of self care.\u00a0 It is thought to encourage healthy lymph flow, a key component of a strong immune system.\u00a0 The lymph system works with the circulatory system to remove waste products from the body. But unlike the circulatory system, which is pumped by the heart, the lymph system does not have it\u2019s own pump.\u00a0 It must be stimulated through movement or massage (including dry brushing). Dry brushing can also exfoliate the skin and clean out the pores. Many people feel energized and invigorated after a dry brushing session.\u00a0 Follow these step by step instructions to get started!<\/p>\n
Avoid dry brushing if you have sensitive skin- it can aggravate some skin conditions such as rosacea, eczema, and acne.\u00a0 Avoid brushing over open wounds and mucous membranes, and I don\u2019t recommend dry brushing your face.<\/p>\n

Let us know what results you\u2019ve had from a regular dry brushing routine!<\/p>\n
