"Itching" Your Body's Automatic Healing Process Back to top

Skin brushing activates your body's automatic healing and immune processes. It is the sensation of itching that cues you to your body’s desire to activate the healing process to any one specific area or region. Itching occurs on its own or during and sometimes following skin brushing and is a reminder that scratching or brushing is necessary. The "Itching Cue" is a vital part in the process for toxic conditions and for tissue repair and recovery from injuries. Itching will occur over a new injured site as well as old ones. This automatic cue to the healing process helps the body provide the best quality of tissue repair as well as helps prevents unwanted fibrous tissue formations. So, both scratching with your fingers or by skin brushing are excellent ways of activating your body's natural healing inflammatory process. This amazing healing mechanism is incredible to watch and to be a part of as it helps maintain or accelerate the recovery of sick and injured tissues in your body back to health.

Skin Brushing Stimulates Acupuncture Points Back to top

Dry and wet skin brushing also stimulates acupuncture points and meridians. The Chinese have long known about and marked over three million acupuncture nerve points, which spread throughout all of the skin's surface. Seven hundred of these energy points are known as nodal. When these acupuncture points known as nodals are stimulated, electromagnetic energy (Orgone Energy) currents flow along energy highways called meridians. This energy flow along these meridians can stimulate or suppress the activity to any specific systems, organs, and glands. By applying skin brushing, wet or dry, to acupuncture points, your entire body including its nervous system are electromagnetically stimulated. This action reinstates balance and health to all tissue levels of your body. Systems, organs, glands, muscles, ligaments, and everything within your body is stimulated by brushing your skin. Skin brushing even stimulates the immune system and the production of red and white blood cells.

How to perform skin brushing Back to top

To brush the skin, start at the soles of the feet and work your way up your legs, your front and your back, brushing as vigorously as you feel able.

Then do your hands and up your arms. Focus the brush strokes, when doing your chest and upper back, towards your heart.

Don't do your face, but give the back of your neck and your scalp a good go.

For hygiene reasons you need a separate brush for each member of the family, and of course, you need to wash the brush itself every couple of weeks
