Spa Secrets Detox Body Wrap Info

Several hours before you are going to perform our Herbal Detox Wrap add entire contents of package (One 9 oz pack per treatment) to one quart Crock Pot and fill with water. Allow to Simmer on low for two to four hours. For dramatic results add ½ cup of sea salt to the mixture, but insure that you consume extra water.

Strain out herbs and soak either pliable elastic bandages, cut up sheets or linens in the finished mixture for at least five to ten minutes.

You will need to be wearing either a bra and underwear, or appropriate spa attire. The materials used will permanently discolor the garments that you are wearing. When you begin to wrap yourself be certain to work fast and keep warm. Start wrapping at the bottom of one leg. Once you’ve snuggly (but not too tight) wrapped an area with one piece of material quickly cover the warm material with saran wrap or similar plastic wrap. Thoroughly wrap one leg and move onto the other. Move up the body quickly insuring that you follow each piece of soaked material with plastic wrap to insure that you trap all the heat in. Warm skin allows the body to absorb materials more readily. Wrap each arm separately and not as part of the overall upper body wrap to insure that all sides of the arm are in contact with the detox solution.

Once you are thoroughly wrapped relax in a comfortable reclining chair or in bed. Cover yourself in blankets and wrap your feet. Now, sweat it out for the next hour, after one hour, swiftly remove all wrap and wipe down thoroughly. It is best if you allow the residue material to soak into your pores over night. A shower would remove the residue and cut down on the overall effect of the wrap.

It is critical that you consume plenty of water. Detoxifying can sometimes cause a person to feel flu like systems the first time that they detox. Drinking plenty of water will help the body flush out the toxins faster.
