How Does It Work?

The skin is the largest organ so it is a good place to start. Skin brushing revitalises the lymph system and gives your whole body a mini-acupressure workout since your brushing every piece of you skin!

What Is The Role Of Skin?

The skin is the largest organ and is responsible for one fourth of the body’s detoxification, each day making it one of the most important elimination organs, just like the kidney and the colon. More than one pound of waste products is discharged through the skin every day.

If the skin becomes inactive with its pores, choked with millions of dead cells, then impurities will remain in the body. Toxicity can gather beneath the skins surface from common influence such as improper ph levels in soaps, skin creams and deodorants, synthetic fibres worn next to the skin. The other eliminating organs, mainly the kidneys and liver will have to increase their labour and will eventually become overloaded. If toxins and waste build up in the tissues because the liver and kidneys cant cope with their job, sooner or later disease will follow.

How Will I Know It Works?

When you carry out skin brushing you help your lymph system to clean itself of the toxins that collect in the lymph glands. Use simple techniques to improve circulation on the skin which keeps the pores of the skin open. It encourages your body to discharge metabolic wastes and resulting in improved ability to combat bacteria, plus helping you skin look and feel healthier and more resilient
