Episode 6 Ayurveda Healing Ritual of Dry Skin Brushing, & Other Healing Evening Rituals

Dry skin brushing is perfect for everyone because it involves stimulating the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system moves lymph, which is a fluid that contains infection fighting white blood cells, and it flows throughout the body. This acts as a drainage system of the body which helps to remove toxins, waste and other unwanted materials such as viruses and bacteria which is called Ama that we want to flush out of our body. The lymphatic system is very similar to the circulatory system which moves our blood, but unlike the circulatory system which has a pump, the heart, to move the blood the lymphatic system does not have a pump so it depends on us moving our body, or dry skin brushing which moves the lymph through the body and out.
