Dry skin brushing is a simple yet powerful practice that supports overall health by enhancing the body’s natural detoxification pathways. Because the lymphatic system has no central pump, it relies on movement and mechanical stimulation to circulate lymph and clear metabolic waste, inflammatory byproducts, and cellular debris. Dry brushing gently stimulates lymphatic flow while also increasing circulation at the skin level, helping mobilize stagnant interstitial fluid. At the same time, the rhythmic, repetitive strokes activate cutaneous nerve receptors that signal the vagus nerve, encouraging a shift into a parasympathetic, restorative state where healing and detoxification are optimized. When done before castor oil pack therapy, dry skin brushing effectively “primes” the lymphatic system—opening drainage pathways and improving fluid movement—so that the detoxifying, anti-inflammatory, and circulatory benefits of the castor oil pack can be more efficiently absorbed and utilized by the body.
