So you're probably a bit skeptical about pretending your body is hair and "brushing" it but I promise you once you read more about 'Body Brushing' you will want to jump on the bandwagon of this incredible health secret as well.
Your skin is the largest organ and sadly it's usually the most neglected. The benefits of dry body brushing are extensive and some include;
♥ Improved circulation around the body. Blood circulation is essential for a healthy body because every cell in the body needs to receive oxygen and nutrients.
♥ Improved lymphatic system which is important for filtering out bacteria, housing types of white blood cells and managing fluid levels in the body. Our lymphatic system does for our body what is comparable to a fish tank filter, removing impurities from the water.
♥ Body brushing also moves energy around the Chakras and if you're not familiar, Chakras are the energy centers in our body in which energy flows through. This is very important considering blocked energy in our 7 Chakras can often lead to illness.
♥ Promotes detoxification, also an important process to ensure everyday pollutants that put our body's health at risk are eliminated.
So pretty much what dry body brush is, is starting from your feet and brushing in sweeping motions towards your heart. You only have to body brush for 2-5 minutes a day to see results.
It's also a form of self love and a way of getting in touch with your body. It's really similar to meditation only there's physically health benefits as well as mental and you could also try saying affirmation while you do it for further emotional health benefits.
You can buy dry body brushes from any sort of health food store or even some other places like supermarkets, Priceline or Target stock them.
I definitely recommend giving 'Body Brushing' a go, the health benefits are amazing and it only takes a maximum of 5 minutes out of your day so it's worth the tiny time investment.
