Health-Massage-Bodywork Tips

Our skin is the largest elimination organ of the body.  It’s known as the third kidney.  When your skin is healthy, it eliminates a quarter of the toxins from your body daily.  When your skin cannot effectively release toxins, you may experience acne, itchiness, rashes/hives, body odor, and maybe eczema and psoriasis.

How to keep the skin fully functional and healthy?  I highly recommend skin brushing, also known as dry brushing.  It works!  The benefits of skin brushing are many:

Removes dead skin cells.
Stimulates lymph and blood flow.
Stimulates the hormone and oil glands.
Reduces cellulite.
Strengthens the immune system.
Simulates the nervous system, tones muscles, and tightens skin.

I’ve experienced all of these benefits with regular, long term skin brushing.  There is a technique to skin brushing to ensure lymphatic flow and waste elimination.  This video has the best technique I’ve seen, AND she is speaking from personal experience, too!

You can Google skin brushing or dry brushing for more information.  Skin brushes can be found at your local store and on the internet.  Remember to skin brush BEFORE you shower.  It’s very invigorating!  While I’m showering, I use bath sponges to help further remove the dead skin cells.  I always feel a bit cleaner than if I used nothing at all or a hand towel.

Give skin brushing a try daily for a month.  You’ll love the way you’ll feel!

My favorite facial product to help heal blemishes quickly is lemon.  It’s amazing how fast it works and it’s very economic too!  Some people use honey too, which seems to work for me as well.  Maybe it’s time for you to explore the natural products you have for healthy and beautiful skin, like the aloe plant.

Do you identify yourself by the discomfort you are feeling lately?

Are you dependent on pain medications or considering splints and other supportive devices (like canes, shoe inserts, etc.), shots (like cortisone, steroids, etc.), and surgery to alleviate pain?

Are you tired of chronic pain, tingling, numbness, always getting injured, experiencing stress fractures, and lack of strength anywhere in your body?

Do you want improved movement, better range of motion, and restful sleep?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, I can help you with the connective tissue massage-bodywork therapies I use during sessions.
