Dry Brushing
The lymphatic system is part of the circulatory system and immune systems. It plays a vital role in the body’s natural detoxification processes filtering bacteria, viruses, and other foreign materials so that they can be cleansed by our white blood cells. It works by carrying our body’s waste away from tissues and into the bloodstream. However, unlike blood, the lymph system does not have a pump. Therefore, it relies on body movement to flow. For this reason, lymph can easily become stagnant.
Dry body brushing is a super simple way to stimulate lymphatic flow! Here’s how:
•Use a natural-bristled brush• Dry brush before showering.• Lightly brush towards your heart (the direction the lymphatic fluid flows)• After showering, immediately moisturize
