The Dry Brush – Trockenbürste

It is made from 100% natural bristles and oiled, locally sourced beech wood from responsibly managed forests. The brush does not shed and contains no plastic components. The practical, elastic strap is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified.

It is possible that the brush may lose a few bristles during the first uses—this is completely normal and will stop on its own after a short time.

Dry brushing, also known as gharsana, is an important part of Ayurveda, the ancient Indian healing practice that dates back several thousand years. The goal of dry brushing in Ayurveda is to stimulate the flow of lymphatic fluid toward the heart. This process is believed to help direct stored toxins and metabolic waste products to the liver and kidneys, where they can be eliminated from the body.

Dry brushing also plays a significant role in German naturopathy. The treatment was popularized in the 19th century by the renowned healer Sebastian Kneipp. Regular dry brushing is said to help prevent colds and infectious diseases in this tradition.

Always begin with the areas of the body farthest from the heart and slowly work your way toward the center using light, even brush strokes. Repeat the following steps 3–5 times:

Legs: Start brushing at your feet and move upward toward your lower legs. Continue brushing over your thighs up to your buttocks.

Arms: Begin at the backs of your hands and brush upward toward your shoulders.

Abdomen & Back: Brush your abdomen in circular, clockwise motions following the natural direction of your intestines. Start on the right side of your lower abdomen and brush upward toward your ribs. From there, brush horizontally to the left and then back down again. Next, brush your back in circular motions along the sides of your body.

Done! Now is the perfect time to take a shower to remove any dead skin cells. Afterwards, apply your favorite body oil and enjoy your silky-smooth, radiant skin!

Cleaning & Care:

After each use, tap the brush gently against a hard, flat surface to remove dead skin particles. The brush is not suitable for cleaning with water. Keep it away from sources of heat and store it in a dry place.
