🌿 Brushing the Body During Bathing Is Also Health-Preserving
Brushing the body during bathing involves using a boar bristle brush to stroke along the direction of the twelve meridians across the body. This stimulation helps shed dead cells from the skin surface, improves skin “breathing,” and promotes glandular secretion. Additionally, brushing induces the production of a substance similar to histamine within the skin, causing capillary dilation, faster blood circulation, enhanced metabolism, and improved immune function.
