What is Dry Brushing?
Dry brushing or dry skin brushing is a type of Ayurvedic medicine that has been around for centuries, according to Healthline.
Possible Health Benefits
Possible health benefits include exfoliation of the skin, increased circulation, more energy, aiding in helping the body to release toxins, helping to break down cellulite, and stimulating the lymphatic system. When you dry brush, you help open pores, making it easier to sweat. The more you sweat, the more toxins can be released. There are only a few studies to prove this though. Another possible benefit is decreased anxiety. Dry brushing can be a calming practice if done correctly.
How to Dry Brush
When dry brushing, always start at your feet and work your way up. Use circular motions in a clockwise direction. Brush upwards toward your heart when brushing your torso. You can go harder on areas like your elbows, soles of your feet, and knees. Never dry brush your face, never dry brush an open wound, and never dry brush if you have sensitive skin. Take a cool shower after you dry brush and finish with an Aromatherapy by Pat body lotion.
