Dinacharya Why Body Brushing?

Our skin is the body’s largest organ, it absorbs anything you put on and also plays a critical role in eliminating toxins.

It is estimated that the skin eliminates over a pound of waste every day!

Dry brushing has many health benefits, from improving your immune system to reducing cellulite.

Not only are there great health benefits, but it is also very soothing. You can dry brush in the morning to create more energy which is great for Kapha, or in the evening to relax and soothe the body which is great for Vata and Pitta.

• Vata benefits from firm, slow, long and sure movements
• Pitta benefits from softer, gentler, circular movements
• Kapha benefits from quick, active stringer strokes

What Is Dry Brushing?
Dry brushing involves using a brush to lightly brush your skin without any water; you don’t want your skin or brush to be wet.
It is very easy to do and only takes a few minutes.
