About Skin brushing
Before you go to bed brush your skin. Make sure your skin is dry so brush before a bath or a shower. Skin brushing stimulates the lymphatic system and encourages the expulsion of toxins.
• Brush your feet, toes and soles and then the front and back of your legs (use long, smooth strokes). Always brush upwards and towards the groin.
• Brush your buttocks and lower back (as well as you can) using upward strokes.
• Brush your hands and arms towards your armpits.
• Brush across your shoulders and down the chest towards the heart (avoid your nipples).
• Brush the back of your neck with downward strokes.
• Using a circular, clockwise motion, brush your abdominal and stomach area.
Now have a bath to which you have added two drops of
rosemary oil. Gradually add cool water until, over a period of about half an hour, the water is quite cold. This further stimulates the lymph.
