Whether you dry brush in the morning to get energized or in the evening to relax, during the day when ever you have time, it all depends on your own preferences.
Here I quote again from the Forbes Health article where doctors confirm these effects of dry brushing:
Relaxation: “The mechanism of touch and taking time for self-care support the calming of the vagus nerve,” says Kindler. Originating in the brain and extending down to the abdomen, the vagus nerve is the longest nerve in the body and contains sensory and motor fibers that branch out into the major organ systems. A major function of the vagus nerve is to help the body “rest and digest” by promoting cardiac relaxation.
Stimulates energy and circulation: “One way dry brushing stimulates energy is through the mechanism of improved self care,” says Kindler. “Spending time to care for your body in a relaxing environment before a bath is calming and can help activate your parasympathetic immune system,” she notes. Dr. Doctor adds that dry brushing immediately after waking up in the morning helps improve circulation, which can help make you alert, while promoting feelings of relaxation.
