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. 

How does Body Brushing engage with the Lymphatic System? 


The gentle brushing motion helps to move lymph fluid through the lymphatic vessels, reducing congestion and promoting detoxification. By stimulating the lymphatic system through body brushing, you can help improve circulation and promote the removal of toxins from the body. This 5 minute daily ritual can help improve overall immune function and reduce inflammation in the body while also minimizing the appearance of cellulite!

As if that’s not enough, Body Brushing is also known to …

  • Remove dead skin cells, which can make skin feel softer and smoother
  • Unclog pores through exfoliation, making it easier for the body to sweat and eliminate waste products
  • Stimulate skin blood vessels, which can improve blood flow.
  • Allow moisturizers to absorb more effectively.

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

We already know Sesame Seed Oil has the ability to fight infection and disease by penetrating all five layers of the skin, down to the bone and into the blood stream. As it penetrates through the layers of the body, it carries with it the essential oils which have their own healing properties.

Our Original formula was designed specifically to wake up the lymphatic system and increase detoxification. Massaging this oil into the skin after dry brushing can enhance the lymphatic benefits of dry brushing immensely. Here’s how …

Ginger Oil …

  • Reduces swelling
  • Breaks down and reduces the build-up of toxins in lymph nodes.
  • Can improve overall lymphatic health. 
Lemongrass Oil …
  • Promotes blood circulation

A daily ritual of Body Brushing + Boditonic Massage will improve your health

Body brushing does the work of opening your pores so you can receive all the benefits of the oil, at its maximum potential. Boditonic will nourish and hydrate the skin, leaving it feeling soft, detoxified and fresh. Your skin will glow brighter from tip to toe and inside (mind and body) will feel the same sense of freshness and clarity. 

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.
