Dry Burshing & Self- Massage To Make Your Body Tingle

Dry Brushing And Self- Massage

Power up your day with this morning ritual. This wonderful self-styled massage practice will make your body tingle from head to toe. Not only will it help you physically to relieve tension, but it will also help with anxiety and promote the feeling of being emotionally supported for the rest of the day.

 It has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries and this practice is called Abyanga.  Abyanga is Body Brushing,  which was crafted I believe to detox the upper layers of the skin and exfoliate dead tissue, the sebaceous and sweat glands can carry out their function more efficiently when pores are free from debris, sweating moves toxins out of the body better, and dry brushing helps in this process to an even better degree.

 A natural plant-based bristled brush is used, right before you get in your shower, or bath. Brush the skin with gentle light strokes starting at the bottom of your feet working your way up to your heart. Bypass the delicate areas, all the way up to your neck each limb one at a time. It is not recommended to brush the face. Follow this brushing routinely with a bath or shower using natural soap, to wash off the dead skin. Dry off and follow up with rejuvenating natural full-body self-massage using a blend of Essential Oils and carrier oils.

Instructions for body Brushing

 People usually make space in their bathroom by placing a towel on the floor. To create more atmosphere some people burn incense to purify the air or use a defuser for aromatherapy.
 With your brush start from the bottoms of your feet, and begin working your way up towards the heart. Lightly brush your body in upward strokes. Start with your feet, each leg, arms, stomach ( light clockwise strokes)  avoid soft skin areas like breasts, and genitals, and loose skin around the neck area, unless you have a softer bristle brush for neck and face, then brush your back and lower backside.

After Bathing

Mix whichever Essential Oil you decide to use, with two-four drops off essential oil and 2-4 tables spoons of carrier oil.

Fiber Rich Food and Water Detox

I have taken to drinking a lot of water , and here is what I do. I found a 32-ounce water bottle which I keep full during the day. And I refill it 3 times a day. Increasing water and fiber supports your body’s ability to detoxify. Simply increasing water and decreasing fats and proteins decreases toxic built up. The typical recommendation is to drink eight 8 ounce glasses of water per day. Philip Goglia author of “Turn up the heat, turn up the fat-burning power of your metabolism“, recommends you drink one ounce of water per pound of scale weight. Getting enough fiber is one of the basic tactics if you are a thyroid patient and want to lose weight. People who have hyperthyroidism** may benefit greatly while losing weight by increasing fiber in their food or with supplements, or both. The combination of water and fiber will also make you feel more full, and help you overcome most cravings for food more likely to lead to obesity, heart disease, and diabetes. Ac...
