The correct way to skin brush!

[@TheStefif]

that was extremely useful and thorough. I'm wondering could she maybe give just a demonstration of the actual brushing? Like do it all once from start to finish the way she does it on herself? That would be very helpful.

[@sandramaes3567]

Yes this would be great to have!

[@BrandiOwensRNCLT]

I am working on a website now and will have better demostration. This was an impromptu interview, so it wasn't planned to be a full demonstration. Hopefully the information has you thinking differently about your immune system :)

[@NowNaturalMe]

BrandiOwensRNCLT Hi Brandi. I have a question about the type of brush. Are the bristles supposed to be stiff or soft?

[@MikeTBK]

I have been a patient of Brandi and she is truly amazing! I have learned so much from her and she has helped me on my way to healing. If you are in the area I would highly recommend getting a treatment by her.

[@leaveamessageafterthebeep]

i love hearing her perspective from a clinical standpoint

[@ebfabulous]

I had a thermogram today and found out that i have congested lymph nodes in my left arm pit.I showed up as this big mass, scary. I had NO idea!! but I am grateful for this knowledge so that I can work on getting this unclogged, improve my health and possibly be preventing a potentially deadly illness i.e. breast cancer. thanks for the demo. everyone consider a thermogram.

[@Szalur89]

+elizabeth livefree barrett maybe colonics

[@ebfabulous]

I do want to try colonics as well... Just an update. I did dry brushing , a fresh green juice cleanse for 2 weeks, increased my water intake and did a little rebounding ( jumping on a mini trampoline) I did another thermogram about 5 months later.....and my lymph nodes are freely flowing again....carrying cancerous toxins safely out of my body :)

[@Szalur89]

+elizabeth livefree barrett great

[@dakealo]

+elizabeth “livefree” barrett - Question on that. Does it matter who does it? I see where Chiropracters can do this also? My insurance says they cover it, but when I called a facility that does them, they said ins co always say they will but never do. Ins Co wants a Wellness code submitted but facility will not use them!!

[@ebfabulous]

the pictures need to be done by someone who is certitfied and its even more important that the dr who reads the images has gone thru the certification.....my insurance would not pay at all..but for me even at almost 50yrs old my breasts are still very dense..mammograms just look like a white snow storm..they will not see anything until it is huge..so it is worth the expense to me

[@PerfectPride]

Love people complaining that she didn't demonstrate. What should she do? Strip and show everyone on camera? It's not rocket science, the important thing is knowing where the water sheds are and in which direction to brush to drain properly. Pretty sure y'all are smart enough to figure the rest out. I think she's one of the better demonstrators, unlike most that just say "just brush towards your heart!"

[@BrandiOwensRNCLT]

+Karichi Du Soleil Thank you so very much, I'm happy you found the video of benefit to you. Brandi

[@GailM11]

Her explanation of how and where the lymph system flows is consistent with Dr. Morse's explanation. He is a naturpathic doctor who has been practicing very successfully for around 40 years. He's on YT as well. Thanks for the info

[@JanPLopez]

By far, this is the best info on Skin Brushing on your channel, a demo would enhance. This info is superior to most given. I always share this one.

[@simoneleone]

Thank you for this explanation. I was a little confused at first as it's not a 'Step. 1: Do this, Step 2: Do this...' sort of explanation, but I paid more attention the second time and understand how to do it now. Very much appreciated!

[@kikiflynn]

More on dry brushing - some deeper info - and cancer patients take note - this helps everyone inside and out. Thanks Brandi and Greensmoothie Girl...Kiki

[@johnlockwood865]

We need this in a 2 minute demo video!!!

[@jamiebonjawo9370]

Agree

[@shalonrobertson3145]

By far the BEST info I've ever found on dry brushing, the lymphatic system and water sheds. Thank you to Brandi for her knowledge and green tea smoothie for this video!

[@eltorillavega]

Thank you very much for this demonstration. I have seen several videos on skin brushing and none of them seem to have as much knowledge behind them as this one. It seems complicated at first, but my gut feeling is that it must be right and with practice will get easier.

[@cpht2000]

This is a Godsend after being previously on high dose steroids for 11+ years. Thank you!

[@karinheart]

I have never thought of this like you put it for inportances of health and just what I am needing so thanks!

[@slewis234]

glad to see this it's completely different from what we were taught in massage school. I'm going to start tomorrow morning.

[@BrandiOwensRNCLT]

+Shelley Lewis Thank you :)

[@shelbycobra78]

wow, very informative. thank you for posting this video. I ike that Brandi was also an experienced ICU RN. She is able to explain the idea of lymphatic drainage from a clinical point of view, rather than just theoretical.

[@josephinethornton3823]

That was an astounding amount of info, thank you. I've been doing this SO wrong for years!

[@pjt3887]

Thank you so much. I'm swollen in the area's that are mentioned. Just started Dry Brushing and this is obviously the better way.

[@zoe2466]

Finally, a proper correct way. Thank you so much for this.

[@KLC8158]

This is the best explanation of dry brushing I've seen, even if a bit hard to put into practice right away. I'm glad I ran into it by accident. Two years ago when I started dry brushing there weren't too many videos out there and I was left wanting for more definitive information.

[@mchrysogelos7623]

I have been doing this for years, and had found lots of videos, but most of them were 'all over the place'!!

[@KLCKLC-jd9jz]

Wow, that was a long time ago, my comment, and since then I've fallen out of the habit of dry brushing. Time to review the video and start this healthful habit again! Thanks for the reminder! :-)

[@ginaderamo7110]

This was the best video on dry skin brushing that I have seen. Very informative. I learned quite a bit. Thank you...

[@listenwisely6341]

Thank you so much for sharing this. The skin brushing I was doing (strokes toward the heart) seemed to be doing more harm than good, so I had switched to warm then cold water a few times in the shower to increase circulation. I am happy to skin brush in the way you have taught! I hope this will help with lower body edema. I had painful fluid build-up with swollen glands on the back of my head over an injury site. I took ACV a few times on those days and it drained quickly, but not on the legs.

[@TheMusicfreekceo]

[@ShavitaKotak]

Thanks for sharing. Dry brushing has truly changed m y skin.

[@Carnahanqueen]

im scared it will cause excess wrinkles but she helps me understand different thanks guys

[@BrandiOwensRNCLT]

@sugarfreeraw For the neck, after you open at the collar bone you will start under the chin (keeping right & left seperate,remember the watershed) and brush under jaw to the ear up behind ear to the hair line, then straight down to the collar bone, making a big #7 motion. Do each motion 3 times. Then a shorter #7 motion from under chin to edge of jaw bone, then down to collar bone. Next under chin stright down to collar bone catching all of the front of the throat parallel with watershed.

[@kelleerae1656]

Awesome! I wasn't aware of the watersheds... so informative, I've been misguided in the past, no wonder I was getting collections under my arms. Thank you Brandi!

[@BrandiOwensRNCLT]

+Kellee Cogger You are so very welcome!

[@jennifernessling9732]

BrandiOwensRNCLT have you made a dry brush demo video since this short one? I would love to have a full session video to follow along to

Thank you so much for all the information you shared about how our bodies are organized, etc and where the important areas are for elimination of toxins via the lymph system. Very good info! Thanks!!

[@MSSaphronia]

Thank you so much Robin for these fantastic interviews, it's like a mini class on a particular topic. Love what you do!

[@danixari16]

[@dbnicegirl]

I'm very excited about this! I really appreciated the explanation about the health benefits and what exactly is going on with this.

[@Angela-hp1pq]

Excellent video! Thank you. So many confusing ones out there. This info was perfect.

[@HazelEyeGazer]

I printed out a an image from google and I made notes. Thanks for the information.

[@EricsBackYardGarden]

emmactress1894 No, she was saying that your skin should not be wet when brushing. You should brush when your skin is dry, right before the shower.

[@ginaderamo7110]

The BEST video on dry skin brushing !!!

[@TheLeyaKa]

the best info on dry skin brushing ever - thank you for posting

[@honeyb162]

Wow, that was very informative. I will be brushing from now on. I too have symptoms of lupus but not enough for the rheumatologist to diagnose me, but I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Lots of inflammation in my body.

[@LastbutNotFirst]

honeyb162 turmeric, colloidal silver, organic apple cider vinegar with the mother. fibromyalgia = word for a bunch of things they cant pinpoint. colloidal silver 1oz a day. 30ppm. best absorbtion is under the tounge, so dont swallow quickly. also manuka honey is very good too. but colloidal silver will work the best even by itself. also go buy some cold pressed castor oil. put it on a warm cloth heat pack and put it right over your liver for like an hour, or compress. wrap in siran wrap with the cloth over night. detoxes your liver. - krill fish oil is good too but expensive. purityproducts.com is on the radio in the am on 6:30am, you can get a 40 dollar bottle of pills for like 4.95 once, then cancel sub.. but purity products is awesome. i spent around 1200 on vitamins and supplments for a 6 months supply it worked awesome, but way too expensive..(now i spend like 20 a month on basic stuff i listed) and it did more for me than any doctors. its taken me about 8 years to get better. so all this im sharing with you. works. just takes time and a good regime.

[@mbktenterprisesllc4428]

I have been brushing for 3 weeks, and my arm cellulite is completely gone, my skin is softer and a large non malignant "thing" in my breast which had not gone away in months is almost gone.

[@donnaabram7261]

Thank you! I suffer from an intramural fibroid tumor which caused me to have a missed miscarriage last December 2020. I’ve always been into holistic homeopathic healing and this prompted me to do so with a vengeance! From the start, automatically I was drawn to lymphatic drainage. This video confirmed why even before I it!

[@dileimywaring4337]

This is a great video, thank you for sharing such important information.

[@anneweprin]

Thank you for taking the time to create this video. I've been brushing my husband and looking for lymphatic brushing as I recently took a yoga 4 cancer training workshop where lymph was discussed as well as encouraging lymphatic drainage in movement; now I think I'll even start brushing myself. oy, one more thing to add on my list.... but hoping it will help my stress-induced eczema.

[@BrandiOwensRNCLT]

That's fantastic, thank you for sharing. Best of luck to you.

[@LastbutNotFirst]

anneweprin colloidal silver helps with the lymph nodes almost immediately. 1-3 days

[@EricsBackYardGarden]

Very very helpful and insightful. Thank you!

[@BrandiOwensRNCLT]

@RainbowLogic My reference to allowing the lotions and oils to absorb is just for timing with the dry skin brushing. Ideal is before your shower in the morning, before the moisture and lotions are applied. You won't achieve the optimal results found with brushing when the skin is wet, so that was why I suggested brushing at night if a morning routine isn't possible. You will be working to enhance what your body does naturally with skin brushing, natural body oils are perfect no worries there :)

[@KaroDance]

That's the best video. Makes so much sens! Thank you for sharing x

[@ecosuperhero835]

Congrats Brandi! You are an awesome EcoSuperhero. Keep up the juicing.

[@BrandiOwensRNCLT]

Thank you :)

[@estherwatson-wynyard4234]

Hi Brandi, this is by far the most thorough description of dry brushing technique, thank you. Do you have any written instructions or diagrams we could follow please, as your descriptions seem to differ to those on the greensmoothiegirl website?

[@eyeYQ2]

Don't know if this was mentioned, but jumping on a trampoline is very beneficial also.

[@LastbutNotFirst]

eyeYQ2 is that why all morons have trampolines? i used to hang out with a bunch of mormon girls. they all had trampolines and their parents all had like 5 kids.

[@eyeYQ2]

Yes, all morons have trampolines. ; ) Do the Mormons? : / LOL

[@LibbyWithnall]

Great video. I only recently started using a brush but wasn't using it correctly.

[@dongrider9040]

Best Demo. Thanks

[@SuchaCaligrrl]

The actual demo begins @ 4:23 if any one would like to skip the also "important info". It is helpful to listen to the entire video just for the knowledge and benefits behind dry brushing.

[@RainbowLogic]

At about 10:50 she says "you want to have the day go by and have those absorbed in" The discussion was about lotions and oils etc.. and not using them, so am I assuming correctly that she is referring to the bodies own natural oils being absorbed? I know that vitamin D is something that the body produces on to the surface of the skin and needs time to be absorbed rather than showered and off.

[@sabaskif]

Thank you very much

[@kathydinicolantonio2372]

Excellent video! Makes so much more sense than any of the others I watched. My question is - brushing twice a day, every day, how long roughly will it take to see results in the elasticity of skin that has thinned through age or prescription drug use? Thanks. :)

[@sugarfreeraw]

This is awesome information. I was wondering about the neck and nodes there...what direction do you brush on your neck to move the lymph? Thanks so much!~ Blessings

[@lovesweetstach]

I usually shower post work out. By then I am sweaty and my skin is damp from sweat. She mentioned that you should do it when you have dry skin before a shower. Could I do it before my exercising, while I am still dry? or do it at another time all together?

[@arinavaantje6296]

I have the same problem and I wipe my body with a wet cloth let it dry and dry brush afterwards. Or I do it before I sport

[@aslansalive]

lovesweetstach You can do it any time, so long as the skin is dry. It's preferred to do it in the morning, that way your system has time to process the junk for elimination. Prior to a shower is recommended because you can then rinse off all the loosened dead skin, and most of us take warm/hot showers, so that will increase circulation for more effective elimination as well. Prior to exercise is tricky, because the stresses of a workout produce their own byproducts that your body must eliminate too... it could be stressful to some people's systems at first. I'd say a couple hours before exercise, or post exercise, even if it may mean not getting the shower after dry brushing. More important is making sure to drink water afterward! Do that, and you should be fine.

[@BrandiOwensRNCLT]

+lovesweetstach Hello, my apologies on such a late reply. I am getting a website put together, dryskinbrushing101.com and looking through questions to put on the FAQ page. This is my answer for you: Yes, absolutely do it before you exercise and get sweaty. The reason for this is so that you get all of the wonderful skin benefits that brushing properly can give you. When the skin is moist or damp it won't respond as well to the stimulation from the brush, so it will be difficult to improve tone and texture of the skin this way. The alternative to brushing before your workout is to brush before bed, although some say the brushing is more energising than coffee in the morning, so you'll have to see for yourself when will be the best time for you. And now that I read the comment below I want to add to it for you. Prior to exercise is a good thing, just as prior to sauna is a good thing. The reason is from a space standpoint. If you look at the lymphatic system as a whole, you will see tissue that is full, and vessels that are full. Brushing increases movement and allows those vessels to empty and move more from the tissue through as you brush... which before exercise is a good thing. Therefore movement is already happening after you brush which should translate in more movement of fluid and toxins as you move your body. What you will accomplish is a greater clearing of your tissues and lymphatic system, and ultimately you should see faster recovery times and less issues with lactic acid build up after a strenuous work out. The number one thing I tell my patients after working with them besides hydration, is that movement will improve the results of the therapy (Electro Lymphatic Therapy). Bottom line, definitely brush and move.

[@sunshine_veevs]

wow! thank you so so much, kind knowledgeable lady! :)

[@BrandiOwensRNCLT]

+Silvia Fahmy Thank you!

[@sunshine_veevs]

+BrandiOwensRNCLT I have been following your way and I feel completely new and healthy just after dry brushing, it's amazing! But what about the upper back? Sometimes I create sweeps that go vertical to over the shoulder then down to the clavicle in the front.. I'm not sure if it's an acceptable way to do it!?

[@BrandiOwensRNCLT]

+Silvia Fahmy Thank you for the feedback!! For the upper back we need to be aware of where those watersheds are. So the way you are describing, we can use that stroke for the area of the back that is above the shoulder blades, but no lower than that. This is the reason that I suggest that you not use a long handled brush. So to clarify, you will brush the back of the neck straight down and then when reaching the top of the shoulders or trapezius muscle, you will bring over the front to the clavicle. You will continue to bring that upper shoulder area over the front to the clavicle. Everything from below the shoulder blade to the lower horizontal watershed will be brushed to the armpit, so when at the shoulder blade area it will be alomost a straight horizontal move from spine to armpit making sure you always follow through and carry each sweep up into the drain at the top of the armpit. I hope this helps. Check back in a week or two, I am getting a website together called dryskinbrushing101.com that will have new demonsrtation videos. It should be live very soon. Thank you again for your support.

[@sunshine_veevs]

You're a beautiful humble person! All the thanks to you! You are helping many people by doing so. I'll be waiting for the website. I am glad my brush is short-handed (it was only because it's the only form available where I live - I'm now relieved to know it is the right one!) I completely understood what you mean from your description and I will gladly start doing it that way right now while dry brushing. Thanks.

[@johannecyr3124]

This video was a good start to peak interest in how to brush but left me a little frustrated and wanting more detail/demonstration. Also, this method is contrary of what I have been instructed by a naturopath ie; brush everywhere heading for the heart? Did I hear you mention NOT to apply creams/oils after brushing? I viewed the video a couple of times and came away with the same thought.

[@kathlynegipto4564]

merci!

[@monacurran6396]

Is this method still the correct way to brush as of today, 2017?

[@donnataplin3772]

Thank you!!

[@wintanawelday3228]

[@andrea3700]

+Wintana Welday Before shower.

[@BrandiOwensRNCLT]

+Wintana Welday Please see the above comment I left for another similar question. You would want to do it before your workout.

[@dianemilligan7370]

Help! Is there a more complete tutorial about doing this - such as a demo from start to finish? It was great information but a little disjointed. She was shy about demonstrating. I love body brushing and do so before bath before bed but have been brushing everything toward the heart. I find it so relaxing but want to do it correctly.

[@greensmoothiegirl]

Hi Diane! Thanks for asking. Here's an updated video with a clearer demonstration: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJ3Ll5muhcd1hZo

[@1949Diane]

Congratulations on your good health!!!! and thank you for this important information. Would you be willing to brush yourself with some spoken direction so that I can see you do it completely. It is just a little confusing not seeing the whole procedure. Thank you for what you are providing the rest of us!

[@BrandiOwensRNCLT]

Thank you for your comment, I appreciate it. I will be launching a website soon with more information and additional videos.

[@pixalu]

Do you need to do the brushing? Could you just follow these directions while applying lotion after a shower and have same/similar lymphatic benefits? I'm pretty sure no matter how soft the brush, it would irritate my sensitive skin.

[@robinwright2632]

Can you post a diagram of this routien please thank you, very informative.

Thank you for the inf, I was doing it wrong😦

[@BrandiOwensRNCLT]

[@BrandiOwensRNCLT]

@BrandiOwensRNCLT The next step: start top of chin brush out to ear lobe and down to collar bone. Next create circular motions from temple(next to eye) to jaw line, do 3X. Follow with sweeps from temple to collar bone 3X. Next step, place edge of brush along side of nose touching the top of nose/inside eyebrow, brush stroke down nose until end of brush is at the base of nose then brush along cheek UNDER cheek bone out to ear, the down to collar bone.Then brush from between eyebrows & center

[@aileenjoiner96]

Hello! I have watched the video a couple times and I would love a little more direction for dry brushing the upper chest and collarbone area correctly. Thank you

[@PennyLester]

How soon should I see results from body brushing? Thank you for any information.

[@Annettesmusic]

Hi Green Smoothie Girl. I watched this video at least 10 times and there is something that I need to be more clear on since it was quite an important matter. The under arm lymph where, (as she said), lymph collects. When brushing down the inside of the arm to the underarm, she said to stop at the armpit. But, when brushing up from the stomach and breast, she cautioned about leaving it there (in the armpit) and brushed up and over the armpit. So, does the underarm lymph system drain upwards? And therefore, it is best to brush up and over it? Thanks for your help. Just don't want to add to the problem of lymph collection by not understanding this.

[@amandahalpin3042]

I was confused about that part too. I'd love to see her doing a full demonstration on herself.

[@Annettesmusic]

Amanda Halpin Thanks for posting that Amanda. It's good to know I'm not the only one.

[@BrandiOwensRNCLT]

Hello, my apologies to everyone, there used to be a link for you to ask you questions directly to me. I'm not sure where it went, but since this isn't my channel I am not notified of posts. I will be launching a website soon and will post it here when it is up and running. For the armpit. The drain is at the top of the armpit, so that crease area at the top of where the hair grows. You brush the arm down to that line and the upper abdomen and chest up over the armpit to stop at that line. So yes, the armpit drains upwards to the top. The caution is to not leave it in the armpit as it will collect there and affect how the breast drains. Brandi

[@Annettesmusic]

BrandiOwensRNCLT Thanks for that Brandi.

[@vikush1886]

[@pollylmaclean58]

I would love a more detailed diagram or video. Clarification on the armpit ~ when dry brushing up the arm, towards the armpit, stop brushing before the armpit. When brushing the breast/mid section, brush upwards over the armpit several times?

[@simplyeffe]

going to stick this one out

[@rosefrommoon]

Shall we brush left and right side of the body just in the same way? Starting from right collarbone, doing the circle motion from the center to the outside, and then come to the left collarbone do the same? Does it matter from which side we start? Should massage mirror parts of the body, OR the entire left side of the first and then the whole right?

What you would actually be doing is repairing the skin, creating an increase in elastin and collagen production restoring tone and texture to the skin. Paper thin skin can be restored to the tone and texture of normal skin. Please look to the above comment for directions as there are many watersheds directing lymph flow.

@BrandiOwensRNCLT Would you consider doing a full brushing video follow up to this? I try to follow it and your comments, but I get a bit confused.
