An oiled beechwood massage brush, perfect for dry brushing to aid lymphatic drainage and circulation, available with either soft or firm bristles.
Dry massage is a wonderful way to stimulate the heart, circulatory system and nerves, but please be sure to observe the following rules:
- Always begin the massage on the body parts furthest away from the heart - the feet followed by the arms.
- Massage towards the heart with 3-5 long, strong strokes of the brush.
- In the area of the abdomen, chest, and back, massage clockwise using smaller, circular strokes.
- A pleasant, cosmetic side effect of such a massage is a gentle peeling. The massage removes dead cells from the surface of the skin. It is normal for the skin to warm up and redden slightly and a contrast shower after the massage enhances the effect.
- Dry brushing while you are too cold or hot is not recommended.
