Detoxifying Body Brush

• Following the diagram, start at your feet and begin covering the body with long, sweeping strokes of the brush. Cover each foot several times before making your way up the ankle, lower leg, knee to thigh and hip bone to waist. Cover each section several times, front and back, left and right side of the body. Always work toward the heart.
• Next, continue long, sweeping brushstrokes from the top of the hipbone, across the belly, sides, back and buttocks. Brush each arm, beginning with the palm, back of hand, wrist, below, bicep and shoulder, brushing each side the body.
• Using a very gentle pressure, brush the face from the center of your forehead and working toward the ear on each side. Continue across cheeks, chin, down the neck and across your décolleté.
• Finally, once you’ve covered your entire body, brush circles around your stomach in a clockwise motion. Take a warm shower and cleanse the skin to wash away dead skin cells and impurities expelled during brushing.
• Remember: always use gentle pressure on sensitive areas like the face and chest and firmer pressure on thick areas like the soles of feet. Take your time with problem areas like thighs and buttocks.
• Once a week, wash your brush with soap and water and dry in a warm spot.

WHAT IS THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM?
An important part of the vascular and immune systems, this complex network of vessels is responsible for eliminating more than a pound of waste from the body each day. Your lymphatic system also transports lymph, a fluid containing infection-fighting white blood cells throughout the body. Because the lymphatic system doesn't have a pump, it is reliant on manual stimulation through movement, massage and dry brushing.

Dry brushing is the perfect way to stimulate the lymphatic system, helping to purge excess water weight and diminish the appearance of cellulite, while improving nervous and immune system function, circulation and digestion. It is simple, quick and cheap, since your only real investment is a good quality natural bristle brush. I try to dry brush daily to keep my skin soft and healthy and to give me a boost on sluggish mornings. But even periodic dry brushing, during times of illness or stress for example, can be very effective.
