Many people are looking for a body wrap video to demonstrate the body wrapping process.  There seems to be a lot of information on the web about how to body wrap, but not many pictures or videos.  If you are interested in performing your own body wraps from home, a video demonstration of the process will really make things easier for you.

I have not had time to make my own video yet that explains the process, but I did find a body wrapping video that should prove to be helpful to those that want to perform their own body wraps at home. [Read more...]

Do Body Wraps Work?

November 2, 2008 By 8 Comments

Is it actually possible to instantly lose inches, reduce cellulite, and  detoxify your body after only a few wrapping sessions?  

Everybody wants to know the answer to one simple questions:

Do body wraps really work?

I’ll get to the answer a little later in this article.  First, let me explain a little more about body wraps incase you are unfamiliar.

A body wrap is a a non-surgical treatment that involves covering the body with a clay based formula and applying wrapping towels around the skin.  The wraps are usually left on for between 1-2 hours, at which time they are removed and the clay based formula is washed off.

Body wraps are a common treatment at the spa, although home body wraps are becoming more and more common these days since they are relatively easy to perform and are much less expensive than spa treatments. [Read more...]

Home Body Wrap Recipes

October 30, 2008 By 42 Comments

There are many different home body wrap recipes that work wonders, but it’s important to understand that the ingredients in the recipe that you choose will depend on what you are trying to achieve.

For instance, some people are trying to achieve inch loss, while others are simple trying to detoxify their body.

Here is a sample of a great “universal” clay based recipe that I use regularly, and really enjoy:

Body Wrap Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of seaweed clay
  • 1/4 cup sea salt
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 cups water

This is a very simple recipe that is easy to prepare, and works particularly well to improve the appearance of your skin.

Directions:

Simply boil water in a pot, add the ingredients, and stir until the mixture forms a wet paste.

Let the paste cool off slightly, and begin applying it to the areas of your body you would like to wrap.  Once the paste has been applied to your body, begin wrapping.  I always recommend that you use body wrapping cloths as opposed to towels, as they are much more effective.

Leave the cloths on your body for at least 45 minutes.  Since home body wraps can be messy, usually the bathtub is the best place to sit during the wrapping process.  Try relaxing with some of your favorite tea and listen to calming music.

After the 45 minutes is up, remove the towels and take a warm shower to remove the paste, and enjoy the new revitalized you!
