Dry brushing is an ancient practice that has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine and in many cultures around the world, including Japan, to improve skin health and overall well-being. It involves using a natural-bristle brush to massage the skin in a circular motion. This practice is said to help exfoliate the skin, stimulate circulation, reduce the appearance of cellulite, increase skin glow/radiance, and invigorate and energize the body. It can also help to reduce stress and promote lymphatic drainage.
One key factor is diet. In Japan, the average person eats more than 87kg of vegetables per year. The Japanese perspective on life is also deeply influenced by the teachings of Zen Buddhism and Shinto which focuses on mindfulness, meditation and intuition to create a unique approach that is a fusion of natural, historical, social and cultural practices.
Many shots can even give you a boost of energy. Take Remedy shot, for example, which packs in 75mg of caffeine thanks to incredible Japanese matcha. Plus, wellness shots oftentimes contain prebiotics and probiotics, which Dr. Seitz says "are beneficial for gut health and overall wellness."
Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s concept of "new capitalism" entails a commitment in investing in "human capital" and "people" as vital to create originality, ingenuity, and new ideas. Well-being is indeed a crucial part of Japan’s strategy moving forward.
