Herbal Body Wraps – The Many Benefits
$110 per Wrap
Have you tried an herbal wrap yet? If not, you are missing out on many of the benefits that it has to offer. Herbal wraps are an effective treatment that can help with the following:
- Inch loss
- Cellulite
- Body detoxification
- Skin conditioning
- Pain relief
- Relaxation
Here are some of the benefits that can be derived from herbal wrap treatments…
Inch Loss
Perhaps the most sought after benefits of a body wrap, and for good reason. By drawing excess lymphatic fluid from the fat cells, you can expect to lose between 2-25 total body inches after a series of treatments.
Cellulite Reduction
By increasing blood flow and removing harmful toxins, herbal body wraps treatments are an excellent way to reduce the appearance of cellulite. If this is your goal, Bladderwrack and Kelp are two “must use” ingredients.
Body Detoxification
Combining a series of body wrap treatments with a ‘clean’ diet and regular exercise can help remove harmful toxins that have built up in your body over time. It is these toxins that contribute to weight gain and many illnesses.
Skin Conditioning
Ingredients such as Aloe Vera are highly beneficial to the skin. Body wrap treatments will not only leave the skin looking and feeling softer and smoother, they will also help tighten loose skin in areas such as the stomach, thighs and upper arms.
Pain relief
An herbal body wrap can be used to help alleviate muscle and joint pain. This is due in part to the heat that is generated by wrapping or applied during the wrap. It is also due to the drawing properties of the ingredients that are used in preparing the herbal wrap.
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 which the body releases during highly stressful times.
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 stored predominantly in the abdominal area causing us to have a fat belly. To keep cortisol levels in check, 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 breathing these oils during a treatment can be an excellent way to unwind.
