The skin is the largest of the elimination channels. Through the
skin toxins are eliminated which are brought to the skin surface
from the blood. When the regular elimination channels are sluggish
or partial plugged up such as your colon being constipated, not all
toxins move out through your feces.

Toxins that accumulate in the colon tend to move into the blood,
when colon walls have been weaken through constant constipation or
abused through eating excessive junk food. Once in the blood they
move into the liver for detoxification.

If you are frequently constipated, than your liver will be
overworked and unable to detoxify all of the colon toxins. The liver
will store a lot of these toxins in its own tissue and else where in
your body’s tissues, joints, organs, cells and skin.

When you have excessive toxins and your immune system is not able to
detoxify them, these toxins will moved to the skin surface through
the blood where they are enter the hair pores – follicles – and try
to move to the skin surface. When your pores are not working
properly, excessive toxins in the pores can lead to acne.

Body odor is also a result of toxins coming out through the skin
that should be moving out through the other elimination channels.

If your body skin is clean and its pores are open and unclogged,
toxins will move out through the pores without creating pimples or
eruptions. The skin normally moves 1-2 pounds of toxins out of your
skin daily.

You can tell when your pores are open. You sweat freely during
exercise. If you do not sweat much during hot weather or during
exercise, then your skin pores are probably plugged.

To keep your skin active and serving as a good channel of
elimination you need to brush your skin daily before you shower or
during your shower. When you brush your skin, brush in one
direction, starting from your feet towards your heart.

In her book, Detox For Life, 2002, Loree Taylor Jordan, C.C.H., I.D.
says,

“One of greatest gifts of health that you can give yourself is the
gift of skin brushing. Dry skin brushing in one of the finest of all
baths. No soap can wash the skin as clean as the new skin you have
under the old. You make new skin on the body every 24 hours. The
skin will only be as clean as the bloodstream. Dry skin brushing
removes the top layer. This helps to eliminate uric acid crystals
catarrh, and various other acids in the body. The skin should
eliminate 2 pounds of waste acids daily.”

Understanding how your skin lives will help you keep it clean. Brush
your skin daily and bring toxins to the skin surface where you can
get rid of them during your shower.
