BENEFITS of DRY SKIN BRUSHING

1.       Removes cellulite

Cellulite is defined as deposits of subcutaneous fat material and fibrous tissue that are not able to be eliminated and which cause a dimpling effect on the skin, most commonly occur on the thighs and hips of women. Cellulite can affect men and women of any body weight or size. What causes these deposits? Some think that is the breakdown product of cells as toxins stored in this subcutaneous tissue. Others think that toxic emotions can be stored in the subcutaneous tissue which then builds up as cellulite.  The best way to get rid of cellulite is through dry brushing, massage, working though emotional issues causing the toxins to build up, eating foods that feed the skin, a healthy alkaline diet program and exercise routine. These techniques will break down the unwelcome toxic body deposits and send them through the body’s elimination channels.

2.       Cleanses the lymphatic system

Lymph is part of our immune system, made of white blood cells called lymphocytes and the interstitial fluid that bathe cells, bringing the cells nutrients and removing waste. All detoxification occurs first and foremost through the lymph. Dry brushing literally moves the lymph containing large proteins and particulate matter that cannot be transported in any other way back into circulatory system. If these proteins stayed in the body outside the blood vessels, it would attract other fluid. The consequences are swollen ankles, limbs and lymphedema, a serious medical condition that may require medications.  So, why don’t we die if we don’t dry brushing?  Lymph vessels have their own pumping mechanism sensing when the vessels have more fluid in them or in the interstitial fluids. Lymph only goes one way because of the many one-way valves on the insides of each lymph vessel. The body literally pumps the lymph along its path back to the heart. Removal of proteins from the interstitial spaces is an essential function. Without this happening, we would die within 24 hours.  Dry brushing speeds this process up as well as massaging, contracting our muscles and moving our bodies.

3.       Removes dead skin layers

Dry skin brushing helps shed dead skin cells, which can help improve skin texture and cell renewal. Dry skin is a sign of detoxification. Therefore it’s good to keep the process going by removing the dead skin daily. If this does not occur, a person could end up with eczema, psoriasis, dandruff and other skin conditions. Dry brushing improves the complexion, making you look younger and fresher, while your skin develops a velvety touch.

4.       Strengthens the immune system

Dry skin brushing may reduce duration of infection and accelerate the clearing of toxins. It helps support the immune system during cancer and other chronic illness treatment. By stimulating the lymph vessels to drain toxic mucoid matter into organs of detoxification we can purify the entire system. After several days of dry brushing, you may notice a gelatinous mucoid material in your stools. This is a normal sign that the intestinal tract is renewing itself.

5.       Stimulates the hormone and oil-producing glands

This helps all of the body systems perform at peak efficiency. The skin is the body's largest organ. When improperly maintained, the elimination duties of the skin are forced upon the kidneys. Chemical analysis of sweat shows that it has almost the same constituents as urine.  If the skin becomes inactive, its pores choke with millions of dead cells, uric acid and other impurities which will remain in the body putting extra stress on the liver and kidneys. When the bladder and kidney are sick, the calves are often swollen as well and the feet stink. Give your kidneys a break—keep your skin clean and rejuvenated. Bathe daily and do a dry brushing before the bath to help stimulate blood flow to the surface so that toxins can more easily escape.

6.       Tightens the skin preventing premature aging

By increasing the flow of blood, dry brushing helps move toxins and lessen the appearance of cellulite. Our bodies make a new top layer of skin every 24 hours - skin brushing removes the old top layer, allowing the clean new layer to come to the surface, resulting in softer, smoother skin.

7.       Tones the muscles

Dry skin brushing helps muscle tone by stimulating the nerve endings which causes the individual muscle fibers to activate and move. It also helps mobilize fat and helps to even distribution of fat deposits. This is a great technique for invalids who can’t exercise.

8.       Stimulates circulation

Skin breathes! And yet, in most people, this vital route of detoxification is operating far below its capacity, because it is clogged with dead skin cells and the un-removed waste excreted through perspiration. Dry skin brushing increases circulation to skin, encouraging your body’s discharge of metabolic wastes. Increased blood flow permits you to feel energized and invigorated. By activating the circulation you can also prevent varicose veins.

9.       Improves the function of the nervous system

Dry skin brushing rejuvenates the nervous system by stimulating nerve endings in the skin.

10.   Helps digestion

Dry skin brushing helps your skin to absorb nutrients by eliminating clogged pores. Healthy, breathing skin contributes to overall body health. When you brush, the pores of your skin open allowing your skin to absorb nutrients and eliminate toxins. Clogged pores are not just a cosmetic concern. Healthy, breathing skin contributes to overall body health.
