Dry Skin Brush your way out of Depression!Dry Skin Brushing for Health and Well Being
If you are suffering from depression then it is vital that your skin is doing its job efficiently. This is where daily dry skin brushing comes in! By brushing, you increase the activity of the pores by removing dead layers of skin. It is more cleansing than soap and water and also helps eliminate waste materials. It stimulates the hormone and oil producing glands in the skin too, allowing the skin to retain its natural oils, and thereby making your skin softer and more glowing. Dry skin brushing will also improve the eliminative capacity of your skin, helping to rid the system of toxins, thereby placing fewer burdens on the kidneys, lungs, and colon. Again...this is vital if you want to shift your depression. It increases blood circulation in underlying organs and tissues. (It’s especially valuable for those experiencing cold hands and feet.) It stimulates the lymphatic system & increases lymph flow to help your body excrete toxins. All in all...it is amazing for improving your general health, and the bonus is it helps prevent premature aging & increases resistance to colds. It helps enhance immune system function. Now dry skin brushing contributes to healthier muscle tone & tightens the skin, facilitating better distribution of fat deposits & drastically reduces cellulite deposits, which are notoriously unresponsive to other forms of treatment. This is great for beauty reasons, however from a depression point of view, it gets the stagnant areas flowing again. It also has a rejuvenating & powerful effect on the nervous system by stimulating nerve endings in the skin and increasing oxygen to the brain, improving clarity of thought. OK...so what to do? Dry Skin Brushing the Perfect Way!
The best time for dry skin brushing is when you wake up in the morning, followed by an invigorating shower or bath....or before bedtime, followed by a sedating shower or bath. It helps awaken you naturally, decreasing the need for artificial stimulants & helps you unwind and relax prior to going to bed. Begin at the soles of your feet & brush in a circular motion, slowly moving upward, massaging every part of your body. Use as much pressure as you can stand, remembering that different parts of your body have different degrees of sensitivity. Move up towards your heart slowly. Do your hands & arms inward towards the heart. Move down from the neck, down your back & up from the abdomen. Doing your entire body should take about 5 minutes. Keep your brush clean by washing it regularly with a natural soap & water, allowing it to dry naturally in the sun. Precautionary Guidelines
Always begin gently until your body adjusts to the process. Do not over brush to the extent of irritating your skin. Do not brush the sensitive skin of your face. For personal hygiene reasons, do not share your brush with others.
