Herbal Body Wraps

Are you tired of a floppy stomach, excess fat, loose skin and or cellulite, then, body wrap is the treatment for you. Not only does body wrap produce a cosmetic effect but it also detoxify your body.

Body wrap was originally a treatment where Ace bandages or plastic wrap was tightly wrapped around the body to cause quick weight loss through vasodilatation.

But today a body wrap is a treatment where you’re slathered with a body mask made of algae, seaweed, mud, clay, lotion or cream, , then wrapped for 20 minutes to keep you warm. Later the product is rinsed off. The body wrap usually ends with application of lotion. This treatment is sometimes called a body cocoon or body mask.

A body wrap begins with exfoliation through dry brushing or a salt scrub. You lie down on whatever you will eventually be wrapped in – often plastic or Mylar, but sometimes towels or sheets. The product is wrapped unto the skin with gentle massages. Once the product is on, you’re wrapped to stay warm, usually for 20 minutes. When the time is up, you are unwrapped and the mask is washed off. Your body is then dried and a lotion is applied to the body.

Body wraps that use algae, seaweed, mud or clay are detox treatments that help rid the body of toxins through metabolic stimulation.
