Research suggests that the available published studies linked to this topic do not directly investigate dry brushing as an intervention for energy or fatigue. The two studies on record are a qualitative survey of long COVID patient experiences and a systems biology analysis of SARS-CoV-2 infection pathways, both of which are neutral in direction and neither of which examines dry brushing in any capacity. While the long COVID study does highlight fatigue and physical limitation as central burdens reported by affected individuals, this context does not constitute evidence for or against dry brushing as a remedy. Overall, no research evidence from the linked studies supports drawing conclusions about the effects of dry brushing on energy or fatigue, and anyone considering this practice for such purposes should be aware that a direct evidence base does not appear to exist within this body of literature.
