Detoxify Lymph Glands Easily

Lymph cleansing is an important part of a good health regimen. Our bodies collect a large number of toxins daily from food, water, soap, lotions and even the air we breath.

As the toxins are taken into our bodies they move through our lymph glands, causing toxic overload. It is beneficial to our health to cleanse the lymph glands frequently. Our lymph glands are most important because they cleanse our blood. Since our lymph glands do not have a pump like the heart it is up to us to help the glands clean out the toxins.

A method called "dry brushing" is an excellent way to exfoliate your skin and cleanse the lymph glands at the same time. Dry skin brushing stimulates the lymph glands and helps them drain the toxins into the colon to be expelled.

You will need a natural bristle brush which can be purchased in the cosmetic department of most retail stores for about three dollars. The dry brushing method only takes a few minutes and is best performed in the morning before your shower.

You will be using your brush "dry" and beginning at your neck, sweep the brush across your skin under the ears, down the neck and onto your shoulders. Brush up both sides of your arms from the hands to shoulder. Brush gently, across and down your chest to your abdomen and as much of your back and buttocks as you can reach. Brush up from your ankles to your thighs both inside and out and end by vigorously brushing the bottoms of your feet and around the toes.

After brushing you can shower or relax in a tub of warm water with epsom salts or apple cider vinegar added to help cleanse and detoxify your skin through your pores.

You can also have fun while cleansing your lymph glands by jumping or bouncing on a mini-trampoline or a re-bounder for at least ten minutes a day.

Mini trampolines or re-bounders can be purchased at sport shops and retail stores in the sport equipment section for about thirty dollars.

Another very simple method that can be performed at anytime is as follows:

Spread the fingers of your left hand and place on the back of your neck.

Cup your right hand and place it under your left armpit. Hold this position for three to five minutes.

Remember when your body is free of toxins it is able to function properly.
