Dry Brushing

If you're interested in a natural pick-me-up that rivals a morning cup of jo, you've got to try dry brushing. The largest organ of the body is our skin. Not only is it an organ, but it is a major area for the elimination of toxic wastes from our systems. The bowel, lungs, kidneys and skin are our four channels of elimination. Each of these organs ideally should release two pounds of toxins per day. In addition to eating healthfully, that means no fast food! We must also get plenty of exercise in the fresh air and wear natural fiber clothing to keep our skin well. Never use soaps, cosmetics or lotions are are full of chemicals. Don't use deodorants that contain aluminum. Choose soaps, oils, locations and deodorants that are made with natural ingredients. the skin can become very toxic from years of rubbing or spraying chemicals into it or wearing synthetic fibers.

Skin brushing is one of the finest ways to detoxify the skin and promote good circulation. Brush your skin with a natural vegetable fiber brush before you take your shower or bath. Brushing the skin when it is dry rather than wet is very important because dry brushing removes more dead skin cells and toxins. Brushing the skin allows the pores to stay open, so metabolic wastes can be released. Always brush towards the heart. When brushing the face use a smaller softer brush.
