Body wraps can help tone and tighten the skin, improve blood
circulation, detoxify the body and help mobilize fat so it can be
eliminated from the body naturally. You do not need any special
equipment other than a mixing bowl, heating pot and wrapping sheets
like thin towels.
Body wraps work in two stages: absorption and squeezing (compaction).
In the absorption stage you apply a substance on your body by "wraps".
Once the pores of skin are opened, the fluids are "extracted" or
"absorbed" by the substance and the bandage.
There are several absorbents: sea clay, seaweed, herbal, mineral and
aloe vera. The effect of the wrap is determined by the ingredients used.
Squeezing is simply compacting the tissues together after the
"interstitial fluid" has been extracted. Once the fluids have been
extracted, there are empty "pockets" between the cells. So if somehow
we can squeeze them closer together, the end result should be a thinner
and leaner looking body. The body bandages and wraps squeeze the body
part and squeezing together the empty "pockets".
A simple wrap can be a mixture of a clay and some salt. More complex body wraps
contain herbs, essential oils and nutritive ingredients. The exact
proportions of ingredients are not important but the repeated use will
be useful. You can add a small amount of nutrition oil (upto 2
tablespoons) if your skin is too dry.
