Dry Body Therapy

Although many people prefer to use a natural bristle body brush, Darshana is historically performed with raw silk or linen gloves. This method is highly advised for those who exhibit symptoms of ama, such as fatigue, sluggishness, dullness of the body or mind, constipation, and a weakened immune system. For the Kapha season, which lasts from late winter through early spring, dry brushing is a fantastic technique. This is the time of year when Kapha can start to build up in the lymph or the sinuses and cause stagnation throughout the body. Snow is melting, the land is wet, and flower pollen is being carried by air.
