The diet must be adapted according to age, sex, body type, physical activity, health issues, but above all, it must also take into account the usual rhythm of life, tastes and habits.

Did you ever tried dry brushing?

Dry brushing or garshana is an ayurvedic ritual done every morning to stimulate the blood circulation. It involves daily body massage with a dry, stiff-bristled brush.

What are the health benefits of dry brushing?

Brushing the skin while it is dry allows you to exfoliate and increase blood circulation without robbing it of moisture, as the hot water in the shower does. It also helps detoxify, as it increases blood circulation and promotes lymph flow and drainage. It also stimulates your nervous system, which makes you feel invigorated afterward.
