Body wraps

  1. Persons who are after detoxification and weight loss also look forward to taking detox body wraps. As explained earlier, this involves application of mud or clay all over the body, followed by wrapping with plastic sheets and cloths, and incubation under warm temperatures for a certain amount of time. The mud or clay is said to stimulate the flow of blood and lymph around the body, as well as provide necessary nutrients and ions that help metabolism. After the incubation time, the mud wrap is rinsed off. Before and after this treatment, you should drink a lot of fluids to enhance the effects.

    Followers of these detox body wraps claim that they lose between six to twenty inches off their bodies after several consecutive treatments. A typical spa treatment of a detox body wrap can cost you around $100 to $150 per spa visit. However, some advertisers recommend buying home kits, where you can do your body wrapping in the comforts of your home. These body wrap kits cost around $30 to $60, which usually is good for one application. For best results, it is recommended that you undergo a detox body wrap twice to thrice a week, in order for you to see a noticeable reduction in body fat and weight.
