Body wrapping is a process in which a client’s entire body, or a targeted trouble spot, is wrapped with an elastic or plastic covering over a combination of herbs, minerals or clay. The goal for the client is to experience weight loss resulting from the secretion of toxins in the body.
After the body wrap has been applied to the client’s body, toxins and excess fluid will be excreted through the skin. The typical process lasts about 30 to 45 minutes. Depending on the type of wrap used, the skin may begin to tighten, leading to a loss in actual inches around the client’s abdomen and other targeted areas, such as the hips, buttocks and thighs.
After the body wrap has been washed off, the client will be instructed to drink plenty of water. This will help the body rid itself of additional toxins that were drawn out by the body wrap.
The instant slimming effect resulting from body wrapping can encourage clients to engage in making healthy food choices, which will help them to continue to lose weight. Body wraps have also been shown to increase energy levels that may lead to the client participating in more physical exercise — which will also facilitate additional weight loss.
