Your Skin - Your Body's Largest Detoxification Organ

The importance of detoxification cannot be stressed enough.  
If your body is not efficient at eliminating waste products 
out of your system, these toxins will overwhelm your organs 
and contribute to many symptoms of ill health, some of which 
are: headaches, fatigue, digestive upset, feeling 'unwell',
constipation, acne...

Detoxification is performed by a number of organs, and 
transportation systems including: the skin, gut, kidneys, 
liver, lungs, lymphatic system, and mucous membranes.
Your primary routes of elimination are: your lungs via your
breath (this is why most people have morning breath, it is 
the toxins you have been eliminating all night long); your 
liver & gut via your bowels, and your kidneys via your urine. 
If any of these isn't working properly, it puts added strain 
on all other organ systems, especially the other organs of 
elimination.

Now, your skin is your largest Elimination Organ, and it 
can easily become overwhelmed, resulting in: acne, hives, 
eczema or other skin outbreaks.

One good way of enhancing your skin's detoxification is 
as simple as doing some Dry skin brushing.

Use a natural bristol brush.  Start with your legs and scrub 
up (not down) towards your waist. Then scrub your arms in 
towards your torso, and lastly your torso towards your heart.
Do this 3-5x week either before bed, or before taking a shower. 

Some of the benefits of this simple procedure include:
1) Cleanses the lympathic system

2) Stimulates the hormone and oil-producing glands

3) Strengthens the immune system

4) Stimulates circulation

5) Helps digestion


Dry Skin Brushing provides a simple, easy and inexpensive 
way to aid in the body's natural detoxification all year 
round or can give an added boost to any body cleanse program.

One more thing... you may have a serious case of the giggles 
the first time you do this, but will eventually grow to love 
this gentle yet cleansing massage.


Cleanse away!
