Recently I read a rash of articles discussing how the skin has been neglected as an organ of elimination. (The only other three being kidneys, lungs and bowels.) It is, in fact, the body's largest organ. ''Detoxify'' is practically a household word now, but it is futile to consider doing a good job of reducing the body's toxins unless the skin is respected as the crucial elimination organ that it is. So crucial, in fact, that it eliminates a couple of pounds of material, including perspiration, daily. We now know that if the skin is not carrying out normal elimination, your lungs, kidneys and bowels will function poorly. Conversely, anything you can do to improve skin function will improve the function of the other elimination organs. The long and short of it is that skin-brushing, which is done for about five minutes while the skin is dry, before showering or bathing, removes the top layer of dead skin cells, stimulates the oil-secreting glands (thus moisturizing your skin), stimulates circulation and invigorates you.
