The skin is the body’s largest organ, often considered the 3rd kidney, playing a vital role in ridding the body of wastes and toxins. We eliminate over one pound of wastes per day through the skin!

Every cell in the body depends on the lymphatic system for nourishment and waste removal. This system works like a sewer system with over 600 sites, called “nodes” to collect and remove wastes. Lymphatic circulation requires movement, exercise, and adequate water intake to drain efficiently. Skin brushing is an excellent way to promote the flow of lymphatic fluid cleansing the body of wastes and toxins.

BENEFITS

  • Exfoliates dead skin, and allows the skin to breathe by opening, unclogging, and decongesting the pores.
  • Increases circulation of blood and lymph, revitalizing and tonifying the skin.
  • Stimulates sweat and oil glands helping to restore moist and supple skin.
  • Reduces cellulite. When the lymph and circulatory systems are congested and stagnant, toxins become trapped in fat cells. Skin brushing helps alleviate cellulite and tightens and tones tissue.
  • Calms the nervous system promoting relaxation. Helpful for insomnia, focus, and for children with sensory integration issues.

GUIDELINES

  • Use a natural tampico (vegetable fiber), long handled brush. The bristles should be firm, not too soft and not too hard. Avoid synthetic fiber brushes as they may damage and irritate the skin.
  • Your skin and the brush should be dry. The best times to skin brush is before jumping in the shower or anytime you’re changing your clothes.
  • Avoid brushing directly over open wounds or areas of irritation. Carefully brushing adjacent areas will support healing.
  • If you are a newbie begin with a light touch. As the skin becomes more toned you can brush more vigorously.
  • The basic principle is to brush from the extremities towards the center of the body using long, smooth strokes, covering the entire surface area of the skin. Avoid brushing the face and women should avoid direct brushing of the breast.
  • Start at the hands brushing up the arm. Be sure to include the armpit area with its many lymph nodes. Brush in a circular motion around the breast.
  • Brush the upper back area and up the torso front, back, sides.
  • Brush your feet (bottoms and tops), and then move up your legs.
  • Finish by doing clockwise circles over the abdomen.

Skin brushes are available for purchase in the office

GIVE YOUR BODY A GOOD SPRING CLEANSE FOR HEALTH

11 for 2011

START THE NEW YEAR RIGHT

I just love the New Year! I love the tradition of reviewing the past year and envisioning what I want to create in my life for the New Year, don’t you?  Looking at what is important in our lives, what do we want more of and what do we want less of by releasing what no longer serves our well-being. This requires a change in our thinking and change in our behavior.  Now is a good time to reassess and recommit to your vision.

Are you happy with your level of health? Are you wanting more energy, better sleep, less stress, weight loss, less gas and bloating, fewer headaches, pain relief, better moods, glowing skin and sparkling eyes, clear thinking, peace of mind, hoping to reduce or eliminate prescription and OTC medications, looking to find time to exercise, wanting to release an unhealthy habit or two?

Well, to have a different outcome means making changes!  Whatever your goal, what you eat will either help you succeed or hinder your good intentions.  The good news is that small steps can make a big difference! Here are some tips to help you on your journey:

1. Drink water. Make pure water your beverage of choice. Try to drink ½ your body weight in ounces per day. Start your day by drinking 8 ounces upon awaking.

2. Chew, chew, chew.

3. Eat a high-energy breakfast every day to replenish your blood sugar and set the foundation of balance for the rest of the day.

 

4. Enjoy an abundance of plant foods in a rainbow of colors.  Deeply colored fruits and veggies are potent disease fighters.

 

5. Use only high quality fats and oils.  Avoid hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils.

 

6. Commit to purchasing organic foods to avoid the hormones, antibiotics, and toxic chemicals present in commercial foods.

 

7. Greatly reduce the use of plastics in the kitchen. Use glass storage containers.

 

8. Sleep is NOT over-rated. Healing requires resting the mind and the body.

 

9. Move your body.  Exercise is necessary to prevent stagnation and degeneration.

 

10. Reduce your body burden – detoxify! We live in a toxic world.  Do a detox/cleanse program 2-3 times per year.  Consider using the infrared sauna or doing therapeutic ionic footbaths on a regular basis.

 

11. Include positive thoughts, smiles, laughter, and fun in each day.
