Dry Brushing: Benefits and Techniques
The skin is the largest and most important eliminative organ in the body and is responsible for one quarter of the body’s detoxification each day. Detoxification is performed by a number of organs, glands and transportation systems including the skin, liver, kidneys, intestines, lungs, lymphatic system and mucous membranes.
