Here’s How Dry Brush Can Reduce Itching.

Small things can sometimes make a big impact

This is a short story about a specific point in my health journey. For many years I had skin problems. I asked for help from dermatologists and allergists. Itchy skin is not fun.

The leading cause was my bad diet when I was younger. I used to eat spicy and unhealthy food. Excessive exercising was another contributor to severe symptoms.

The symptoms were mainly intense itchy skin, so itchy that it was unbearable sometimes. They were so severe that my itchy skin woke me from my deep sleep.

I used many allergy medications, including antihistamines and itchy skin creams. I had skin treatment from a dermatologist. Treatments reduced symptoms, but they were coming back.

When I changed my diet to a healthier version, especially after being fat-adapted on a low carbs diet with increased healthy fats and a customized diet removing the offending foods, most of the symptoms disappeared.

Nevertheless, despite improvements, I still had itchy skin after the intense workout sessions. I needed a quick yet sustainable solution.

One day I discovered dry brushing in a fitness magazine advertisement. First, I did not take much notice of it. Then I came across an article about its benefits of it in the same magazine. The claims by the author of the article were compelling.

The idea sank into my subconscious mind. Instead of scratching with my nails for a few seconds, I applied the brush for a few minutes to the itchy area, and the itchy sensation disappeared.

Scratching with nails can damage the skin. However, dry brushing addresses the itching problem without any harsh impact on the skin. I experience that dry brushing can stimulate the nervous system. I also heard that it is used in massage therapy.

After using a dry brush for several years, my skin significantly improved. Who could have thought that a ten-dollar piece could make such a big impact on my skin health?
