GIVE YOURSELF A DAILY BODY RUB.

Gently rub your entire body with a hot, damp cotton washcloth for ten to fifteen minutes every morning and/or night. Do the rub before or after your bath or shower, but do it separately from either. The body rub is the secret of the fountain of youth. In effect, it winds back the body’s biological clock. If you do a daily body rub and if you chew your food thoroughly, day by day you will become younger in body and mind.

The body rub is one of the world’s best beauty treatments. People come to me for counseling with a variety of skin problems—brown liver spots, white patches, blemishes, and skin that is loose, dry, or sagging. Often they blame these conditions on age, but I believe they have unhealthy skin because they don’t know how to care for themselves.

Within a few months, sometimes as little as a few weeks, these blemishes begin to disappear. Beautiful new and younger-looking skin comes shining through. Of course, your progress depends on what you eat and how well and faithfully you do the body rub. Everyone wants to look younger and healthier. Billions of dollars are spent every year on beauty creams, remedies, and treatments, most of which don’t work. The body rub is free and it does work.

One of the benefits of eating well is that fresh blood is drawn continuously to the surface areas of the body, stimulating the skin. If we eat healthful foods and do the body rub, we can nourish our skin on a daily basis and, as a result, our skin will become younger-looking and more beautiful. Once past puberty, people of all ages can benefit from the body rub. Healthy skin is slightly shiny and moist. If your skin is healthy, your entire body perspires lightly and easily. Such skin is smooth, soft to the touch, and resilient. If you push or pull it, it bounces back energetically. Healthy skin looks fresh without the aid of creams and moisturizers and is free of blemishes and pimples. The skin is an excellent barometer of overall health. I always use skin diagnosis in counseling. It tells me about the client’s diet, past health problems, and ability to maintain good health in the future.

Most of us take our skin for granted. We all want skin that looks young and healthy, yet few of us give a thought to the skin’s function. Skin is our largest organ, containing oil, sweat glands, blood vessels, nerve cells, and immune cells. It has innumerable functions. It protects us from the environment, helps
