The skin is an essential organ in supporting the body to get rid of toxins by secreting them out through the skin.
When the skin is loaded with more toxins and dead cells, its ability to efficiently rid the body of toxins decreases and thus affects the health of our entire body and our immunity in general. And here comes the benefit of dry brushing, not only in removing dead skin cells, but also in activating the lymph nodes to expel toxins and get rid of them.
