Why & How You Should Body Scrub for the Macrobiotic Lifestyle

Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village my name is Gail Stolove with Wholly Macro in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Today we're going to talk about a day in the life of the Macrobiotic Lifestyle. So at the end of the entire Macrobiotic day, I reward myself with a shower in my beautiful filtered water shower. A very important part of our day and people collapse when I tell them this is like still part of the day, but an important part of the day is body scrubbing. Body scrubbing entails scrubbing the entire body with either a washcloth and a white cotton washcloth, not a synthetic dye washcloth or a natural bristle body brush. We start from the head, we work head to toe, we work towards the center of the body, towards the heart in the direction that the blood and the lymph flows. So you start at the extremities of the hands, at the head, at the feet and you work up towards the heart. It promotes circulation, it promotes lymph flow, it cleans the skin, it stimulates the organs that are inside your body and help to cleanse them and it's a very important part of the day."
