Any brush on my skin would cause me to itch and break out in a welt anywhere the end of the brush fiber touched me. I decided I could attach a wash cloth to a long spoon or something and use that. I have not. <br /><br />Then, I read that this practice does absolutely nothing to banish even a smidgen of cellulite. But, I thought the MD type was pretty harsh. For every minute of brushing, that is a minute the person is not eating, not sitting absolutely still. Plus, the brush industry was not going to profit by monthly brush purchases as would happen if it were a prescription. All the "tomorrows" and "tomorrows" still have not seen me fashion something I can use....sigh.<br /><br />When I have a swollen gland in my throat/neck, I started stroking my neck from under my ear and jaw to my collarbone. I would fan out over the area my fingers last touched at my collarbone. The infection in my lymph gland would go away and my fever would be much lower. So, I have done this for 30 years.<br /><br />One day, a nurse friend was here, and I was stroking my neck. I told her what I was doing and why and did it do any good. She said, "Sure, it's called milking the glands." These a lymph glands, I suppose. We did not discuss it further. <br /><br />So, it stands to reason that stroking would remove toxins via the lymphatic system, a system that is all over our bodies. <br /><br />Since I cannot stand a makeup brush on my face or a lip brush, I won't be brushing my body, but I do believe it is beneficial.<br /><br />I am still blogging, just cannot get into my blog to post.Practical Parsimonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08419071209412207674noreply@blogger.com
