Sandalwood Body Brush | Lymphatic Drainage Ritual
- Stimulates the lymphatic system to help flush toxins and waste from the body.
- Encourages healthy blood flow for better nutrient delivery and waste removal.
- Buffs away dead skin cells, opens pores, and improves overall skin texture.
- Supports the body's natural detox processes, especially beneficial during a cleanse.
The beautiful Zeally Herbs Sandalwood Body Brush is hand-crafted from sustainably sourced Indian Sandalwood with Sisal Fibre Bristles, being a natural fibre extracted from a species of Agave plant.
For those that are new to it, Body Brushing is a daily body massage practice using a dry, stiff-bristled brush, in order to help remove flaky skin, increase circulation, detoxify, assist digestion and even improve the appearance of cellulite. But one of the main benefits that we love, is the ability of the massaging effect to help boost and support the body’s natural lymphatic drainage system, aiding in detoxification and rejuvenation.
In incorporating dry brushing into our cleansing routine, we can help to support our body's natural detoxification processes, stimulating the lymphatic system, which is a crucial part of the immune system. The lymphatic system helps to remove toxins and waste from the body, including those released during a parasite cleanse.
The brushing action promotes blood circulation, which can help in the efficient transportation of nutrients and removal of waste products, including those associated with parasites.

Routine
Dry brush before showering. Post shower, apply a natural body oil such as Almond Oil or Jojoba.
Note that harsh exfoliation is never the point; be sure not to press too hard. Use gentle strokes to avoid damaging the skin. Always brush towards the heart to support lymphatic circulation.
A circular, clockwise motion at the belly aligns with Ayurvedic principles, promoting digestion and balance, while a transition to upward strokes at the neck, chest and legs eases tension while supporting lymphatic drainage
- Firstly brush the bottoms of your feet and then up your legs in long, smooth strokes, around 10 times each section.
- Commence brushing the palms of your hands and again brush up the arm toward the chest.
- After, brush the abdomen and armpits in a circular clockwise motion. For specific areas, such as the stomach, a gentle approach is essential.
Brush Care
It is beneficial to remember that your brush is made from natural fibres and much like anything of this nature, you need to treat it well to prolong its life and stop it developing mildew.
Always shake out any excess water when cleaning and leave in a well ventilated area of the bathroom, like a sunny window. Once a fortnight wash with an antibacterial soap and leave to dry in the sun.
Never leave your brush soaking in water or in a damp environment.

Benefits of Body Brushing
LYMPHATIC SUPPORT
Dry brushing is one of the simplest ways to stimulate the lymphatic system, which plays a vital role in immunity and detoxification. The gentle brushing action encourages lymphatic flow, helping the body flush out toxins, waste, and harmful organisms more efficiently.
BOOST CIRCULATION
The rhythmic strokes of dry brushing get the blood moving, improving circulation throughout the body. Better blood flow means nutrients are delivered more effectively to cells, while waste products are carried away, leaving you feeling energised and refreshed.
SUPPORTS DETOXIFICATION
By working on both the lymphatic system and the skin simultaneously, dry brushing gives the body's natural detox processes a powerful boost. This makes it a particularly valuable addition to any cleanse, supporting the body as it works to eliminate toxins and their byproducts.
EXFOLIATES SKIN
By buffing away dead skin cells, dry brushing reveals the fresher, smoother skin underneath. Regular exfoliation also helps to unclog pores, allowing the skin to breathe and release toxins more effectively, resulting in a brighter, healthier-looking complexion over time.
STRESS RELIEF
The slow, intentional practice of dry brushing can be deeply calming. Taking a few quiet minutes each day to care for your body is a simple act of self-care that helps lower stress levels, and managing stress is a key part of supporting overall health and hormonal balance.
HOW TO USE
Sandalwood Body Brush
Start at Your Feet and Work Upward
Begin with the soles of your feet, then use long, smooth strokes up your legs (around 10 strokes per section). Move to your palms and brush upward along your arms toward the chest. Always brush toward the heart to support lymphatic circulation. Remember, gentle pressure is key, let the bristles do the work and avoid pressing too hard.
Work the Abdomen and Lymph Nodes
Brush your abdomen using a gentle circular, clockwise motion as this aligns with Ayurvedic principles to promote digestion and balance. Pay special attention to the armpits, which are key lymphatic points. Transition to upward strokes at the neck and chest to ease tension and support lymphatic drainage.
Shower and Nourish Your Skin
Follow your dry brush session with a shower to wash away the dead skin cells you've just lifted. While your skin is still slightly damp, apply a natural body oil such as Almond or Jojoba to lock in moisture and leave skin feeling soft and replenished.
