Every body has four major routes of elimination:  the colon, the kidneys and liver, the lungs, and the skin.  Your largest eliminative organ is your skin.  Up to a third of all body impurities are excreted through the skin, which is sometimes referred to as the "third kidney".

“Daily dry friction brushing, or SKIN BRUSHING, creates greater activity for the pores of the skin; is far more cleansing:  eliminates more waste material than any soap and water bath, and skin is not robbed of its natural oils needed to keep it from becoming too dry.  The friction rub or SKIN BRUSH BATH tones the skin, develops good circulation, and aids in eliminating mild skin conditions.  The whole body is both stimulated and invigorated.”

With the (DRY SKIN) body brush, brush the limbs with an upward movement, or towards the heart, brushing the whole body gently at first until the skin becomes conditioned.  Avoid brushing the breasts entirely.  Devote at least three to five minutes morning and night, to this type of bathing, and your skin -- thus stimulated to better function -- actually becomes softer, your health improves without question, and you will have lasting returns in both health and charm.

Tips for Dry Skin Brushing Massage

• Every two weeks or so -- wash your DRY SKIN BRUSH with soap (Castile and Vegetable Oil soaps are the best) And dry it in the Sun or warm place.  Wash the brush regularly to keep impurities from clogging it up.
• For hygienic reasons use separate brushes for each member of the family.
• Avoid brushing the parts of your skin that are irritated, damaged or infected.
• The scalp should be brushed too.  For scalp brushing, a good NATURAL BRISTLE BRUSH is a MUST -- no other substituted will do.  Scalp brushing will stimulate hair growth by increasing blood circulation and keep scalp clean from dandruff, stale oils, etc.
• The facial skin of most people is too sensitive for brushing; use a Loofah in the shower or a special facial brush.
• Shower after the DRY SKIN BRUSH for extra cleaning and stimulation of the circulation.
• Start very gently, smoothly gliding the brush ever so lightly on your legs and arms, stroking once or twice the same area then moving on.  
• After about two weeks the brush will not feel stiff nor scratch your skin.
• Increase your tempo until you are vigorously brush-massaging your body’s largest eliminative organ, your skin.
• The brush can seem harsh at first as the bristles are stiff.
