Body Brushing + Boditonic is the Ultimate Immunity Booster
Body brushing has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic traditions to promote overall health and well-being. So has sesame oil. So what happens when we combine these two ancient remedies? The deepest healing imaginable.
Let’s start with the target of all this self care: the lymphatic system. Why should we pay attention to it?
The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that help rid the body of toxins, waste, and other unwanted materials. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the body's fluid balance, immune responses, and overall health. If our lymphatic system is sluggish, the build up is unpleasant.

Speaking of Moisturizes … this is where Boditonic Original is a game changer

Best Practices for Body Brushing
To body brush correctly, always start at the soles of your feet and brush upwards towards your heart using long, gentle strokes, focusing on moving with the direction of your lymphatic system. For legs, brush from the feet up towards the thighs, for arms, brush from hands up towards the shoulders, and for the stomach, use a clockwise circular motion; always brush on dry skin before showering and follow up with moisturizer afterwards; avoid applying too much pressure and be careful around sensitive areas like the nipples and face.
Embracing Ayurvedic traditions
Ayurveda, the traditional system of medicine in India, emphasizes the importance of daily self-care rituals to promote health and well-being. Body and face brushing align with Ayurvedic principles by supporting detoxification, improving circulation, and promoting overall balance in the body. By incorporating these practices into your routine, you can experience the holistic benefits of Ayurveda for your skin and lymphatic system.
