1. Improve circulation
2. Stimulate the lymphatic system

Other benefits
Dry brushing is linked to have mental and emotional benefits. It is believed to help reduce stress and improve sleep and is often recommended to promote relaxation and calm the mind.
Dry brushing can also help to improve digestion and boost the immune system.
While it is often considered a beauty treatment, dry brushing can also have spiritual benefits.
One of the spiritual benefits of dry brushing is that it helps to bring awareness to areas of the body that we may have been ignoring.
As we brush our skin, we are forced to pay attention to each part of our body and become more attuned to what is happening within us. This can help us become more aware of our emotions and physical sensations, which can be an important part of our spiritual journey.
Another spiritual benefit of dry brushing is that it can help to uncover unresolved traumas or problems. We may become aware of areas that feel tender or sensitive, which can signify neglect of unresolved issues. By bringing these issues to the surface, we can begin to work through them and find healing.
Dry brushing can also help to cultivate a deep sense of connectedness to our true selves.
As we pay closer attention to our bodies and inner sensations, we become more connected to our emotions, desires, and motivations. This inner connection helps us to better understand ourselves and our place in the world.
To experience the spiritual benefits of dry brushing, it is important to be patient, present, and aware of what we are sensing.
This is what is known as inner awareness, and it is an essential aspect of the spiritual practice of dry brushing. By embracing this inner awareness, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
As you embark on your spiritual journey, remember that the path to self-discovery and growth is unique to each individual. Don’t be afraid to ask for guidance and support along the way. With an open heart and an open mind, you can find the answers and connections you seek.
