Have you tried an herbal wrap yet? If not, you are missing out on it’s many benefits. Herbal wraps are an effective treatment that can help with the following:
- Weight loss
- Inch loss
- Cellulite
- Body detoxification
- skin conditioning
However these are not the only benefits that you may experience from herbal body wraps. Two other benefits of performing an herbal wrap are relieving muscle pain and relaxation.
Pain relief
An herbal body wrap can be used to help alleviate muscular pain. The relief that body wraps give is due in part to the heat that is generated by wrapping or or applied during the wrap. It is also due to the drawing properties of the ingredients that are used in preparing the herbal wrap.
Clay compresses have been applied traditionally for years for pain relief. So using a Clay based formula will help with pain relief.
Relaxation
One side benefit that is both good for your body and well-being is relaxation. It is now widely known that when stressed your body can hold on to excess fat allowing it to accumulate in the body. They attribute this to the hormone cortisol.
An over abundance of cortisol is produced when we are stressed. cortisol is essential for proper glucose metabolism, regulating blood pressure, immune functions, inflammatory response, and blood sugar maintenance. However, when we produce too much of this hormone, this hormone tells the body to store the fat instead of burning it. This is just one of the effects of the hormones ‘fight or flight’ response to stress.
This fat is usually stored predominantly in the of abdominal area causing us to have a fat belly.to keep the cortisol levels at a healthy level, the relaxation response should be active after the fight or flight response occurs.
During your herbal wrap you will have to relax for 45 minutes to an hour. Just a simple activity of relaxation during your wrap and the essential oils that are used for some wraps can help offset excess of cortisol production. The aroma of some essential oils used in body wrap formulas have been traditionally used to help trigger relaxation and calm. So breathing those oils and while relaxing is beneficial to our well-being.
