We have all read about the health benefits of body wraps. Are they necessary? Do they work? What exactly does a wrap do? So many questions come to mind when you think of a body wrap. What are some of the different type of wraps available? Do the work? Are the results permanent? Here are a few examples.

. A full body wrap to detox the body of impurities.

. Slimming body wraps to lose inches or to help dissolve cellulite

. Herbal, mineral, enzyme or clay wraps for overall health benefits.

. Weight loss body wrap to help us lose those unwanted pounds.

. Facial wraps to tone and firm the skin.

Everyone should enjoy a wrap if done properly. I remember my own experience of going to a very expensive well known spa frequented by the rich and famous. I could hardly wait to relax with a wonderful body wrap. She wrapped me up tight, turned off the light in this dark room and left me alone. I am extremely claustrophobic and could not breathe. I just wanted to get out of there. For me, it was a bad experience . It is very important that you are comfortable and not claustrophobic. That should be the first step.

• Mineral wraps use many mixes of minerals, magnesium, sodium, potassium or trace minerals. It is important the minerals help balance the body. and to be sure you are able to tolerate these. This wrap will take about an hour, will aid with detoxing and a little weight loss. It is temporary water loss and the weight loss will return. Be sure when the wrap it complete you drink water to continue to detoxing not to subject to  dehydration.
• Detoxing wraps using clay is another excellent way to help rid your client of toxins built up in the body. There are various forms of clay, dead sea clay, red or green clay. You just want to be sure it is organic and pure. Your health is what is important. Your wrap can be mixed in wonderful herbs for extra benefits.
• Herbal wraps may be used for many purposes. Detoxing, hydrating the skin, toning and healing.

Most are relaxing and the benefits will be an improved skin tone. These wraps are best to use before a special occasion so you may look and feel your best or rejuvenae your skin. It is a good kick start in starting a health program. 

Body wraps are normally thought about as being wrapped from head to toe. You may also do spot treatments something on a smaller scale. Some of the spot treatments are cellulite treatments, firming and lifting treatments in a designated spot. Your Eustachian may use infrared heat, ultrasound, micro current. So many options. A facial wrap can make a big difference if done properly before a special occasion. It can take years off your face and neck.

I have trained many high end spas, physicians, estheticans and massage therapists. A trusted tool we used in our treatments was plastic wrap. It is perfect for the face and body. You apply strips over the face to help hold in the product and keep it from evaporating. It also helps to warm the skin with the bodies own heat. A hot towel on top may also be added for additional heat. For cellulite, the products are designed for improving cellulite, your wraped in the plastic wrap and covered for 20 to 40 minutes or more with a warm blanket. The warmth and sweating in the treated area, causes the skin to detox, lose water weight and look so much tighter and firm. The cellulite is improved.

Important questions your Eustachian should ask before a wrap:

• If you are sensitive to any particular ingredients
• If your claustrophobic
• If you have any medical issues
• Is there any thing special they can do to make you comfortable
• Are you diabetic, have circulatory problems or have a heart condition
• If your on any medications that may cause a problem, such as an allergic reaction

If they don’t ask the questions speck up and volunteer the information, it’s your health.

When I am ask the question, do wraps really work, the answer is yes. They are a good way to kick start a diet or health program. They are excellent to look and feel good for that special occasion. Also perfect if they want to feel relaxed and spend a healthy afternoon or evening.

Are the results permanent, the answer is no. As with anything we do for ourselves. You must help maintain your results by eating correctly, getting plenty of rest, drinking your daily amount of water, exercising daily. Even if you do 10 to 20 minutes at a time, just move and do something.

As a professional, I make it a fun experience for my clients. I do a different treatment each time they come in. I am supportive of them and their quest to lead a healthy lifestyle. They look to me for guidance.
