Re: What type of brush should I use for body brushing (most recommended) and what brush should be used for the face and neck?

I haven't purchased any yet but the ayurvedic method of body brushing is called Garshana and they use raw silk gloves. You could go to a site that I love http://www.thenewportmassageschool.com/product/garshana-therapy-certification...


I am hoping to take the courses on line. I do a hot oil massage now and it is leading me to ayurveda. In the meantime I do a body brush sometimes using just the regular bath mits or a loofah brush, gently. I'm into tantra a little and so sometimes I even start with a feather because the tickling sensation actually starts to open the folicles (I learned this in NYC whilst taking a back massage course). After the feather I use the gloves to take it further. It's less of a surprise to the body, gradually opening the pores. I follow that with the hot oil and when I can! I will buy a steam tent. Tweet
