Dry Brushing

Directions For Dry Body Brushing

Purchase a natural bristle brush that is flexible and reasonably soft - we have options in store! Make sure the handle is long enough to comfortably reach your back. Keep your brush dry. To clean, simply run your hand over the bristles over a garbage receptacle or outside. Let your brush sit bristle side up in the sunshine periodically.

• Remove clothing and lie on a well-padded firm surface.
• Starting with the soles of your feet brush all sides of both legs from the ankle to the knee and to the thigh in upward strokes.
• Brush the buttocks in circular strokes.
• Standing or kneeling, brush both arms starting at the palm up to the armpit. 
• Brush from the armpits down each side and toward the abdomen.
• Reach behind and brush your back from both sides inward toward the spine then brush down the spine.
• Brush the chest from the sides to the center then brush down to the abdomen.
• Brush breasts in a circular motion ending at the armpits then to the abdomen.
• Brush the abdomen in clockwise circles following the natural path of the digestive tract. 
• Finally brush upward from the abdomen toward the heart.
• You can include your face and neck if desired, ending final strokes on the right just below the ear. 
• Brush your hair and scalp with a natural bristle brush.  The lymphatic system drains pounds of plaque from the brain every year.

Repeat daily for one week then three times weekly for maintenance.  Your skin will glow.  You may have to urinate more frequently – a good sign of lymphatic cleansing!
