Springtime is the ideal moment to reawaken physically, change your diet and detoxify your body.

Dry brushing is an ancient body cleansing technique. In Ayurvedic medicine, one of the oldest holistic healing systems in the world, which was developed more than 3000 years ago in India, it allows skin cleansing and encourages lymphatic system, which removes toxins from the body. The skin, along with the intestines, kidneys, liver and lungs, is the fifth organ responsible for elimination our toxins from the body.

Experts therefore recommend daily skin brushing has many positive effects:

  • brushing removes dead skin cells and opens clogged pores
  • it is easier to get rid of poisons and toxins that accumulate in our body
  • the appearance of the skin improves, as it becomes more flexible, softer and smoother
  • the circulation of blood and lymph fluid improves, which protects our body from infections and prevents toxic substances from returning to the bloodstream
  • helps to improve the appearance of orange skin - cellulite

Dry brushing should be done before the morning shower. It is recommended that the brush is made of natural materials and that it should always be dry before use. Do not overdo the rough brushing, as the skin should not become red. Be careful not to brush wounded and affected skin. Start brushing from the ankle up and only in one direction, in the direction of the heart, as this stimulates the functioning of the lymph. Do not rub up and down with the brush. Brush the belly in circles and clockwise. After finishing the process, be sure to take a shower, preferably alternately - with warm and cold water. It is very important, yes you always use your brush.
