A Body Wrap is an brilliant way to get rid of cellulite and detoxify your body of damaging toxins.

By: Jessica Louise



No special gear is necessary other than a mixing bowl, heating pot and wrapping sheets (thin towels will work). You need to set aside around one and a half hours of your time to arrange and benefit from the wrap. It is recommended that you do one wrap every week for at least 6 weeks and after that one per month after that, for maintenance and continued detoxing. It is however safe enough to do a wrap every day or even multiple wraps in one day to quicken the effects.

Body Wrap Instructions
· Choose a warm room or turn up the heat so the wrap won't lose its heat too rapidly.
· Dry brush your skin with a natural bristle body brush or other scrub.
· Taking a warm shower before will help to open the skin pores.
· Do not shave your legs ahead of the wrap.
· Remember, body wraps succeed by infusing minerals through the skin and by breaking down fat cells for elimination so drink lots of water both before and after your wrap to aid in flushing out the toxins and dislodged fats.
· Boil approximately 64 oz (half-gallon) of distilled water in a stainless steel pot and remove from heat.
· Add all of your ingredients to it and permit it to sit for 10 - 15 minutes.
· Allow the mixture to cool until it is comfortable to touch.
· Get comfortable someplace where you can clean up with no trouble and have sixty minutes of privacy.
· Dip your sheets in 1 at a time and wrap your body begining from your ankles.
· It is important to remain warm for sixty minutes so make sure the room is not too cold.
· Keep a tall glass of water near so you can sip whilst you relax.
· Take a cool/warm but not hot, bath afterwards.
· Take a hot bath on the second or third day subsequent to a wrap to help open the skin pores and release accumulated toxins from the skin.
· Frequent use of the wrap should show you results. If you wish, you can take your measurements to see how much you're taking off with each wrap.
· Finally, light exercise and paying attention to your diet will obviously assist to reduce weight and keep the toxins to a minimum. Try to steer clear of caffeine, sugar, fried foods, nitrates and soda and drink plenty of water.

Choosing Your Ingredients
A wrap does not need to have lots of ingredients to be effective - the ingredients that you chose should fit the purpose. A wrap can be very straightforward with clay and some salt or it can be more involved with the addition of herbs, essential oils and nutritive ingredients. The exact proportions of ingredients are not too vital here however the repeated use will pay off. For one wrap, you will want to make up about 4-5 cups worth of dry ingredients along with various essential oils.
