A herbal body wrap provides both therapeutic and beautifying benefits by cleansing the body of toxins, smoothing the skin, and sometimes removing measurable inches off your body simply from the natural detoxification process. Clay-based body wraps are an excellent treatment for anyone that would like to improve the tone and texture of their skin. The process can also help tighten the skin, which is very beneficial for people who have loose skin from recent weight loss or pregnancy.

Professional herbal body wraps for detoxification usually start at around $100. But if a visit to the spa isn’t a luxury you can afford (or you’re too self-conscious to be wrapped by a stranger), you can make your own herbal body wrap to detoxify in the privacy of your home.

To make a simple, clay-based body wrap, you’ll start with the basic recipe below and add essential oils or herbs as desired.
Basic Clay Body Wrap Recipe
1 cup bentonite or green clay
1/4 cup sea salt
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 cups water

Directions: Boil the water, add the sea salt and stir gently until the salt is completely dissolved. Add the olive oil and clay and mix thoroughly. Add additional water if needed to create the consistency of wet paste.

Although this basic recipe makes a fine body wrap on its own, adding essential oils or herbs will provide greater detoxification and therapeutic effects. Add several drops of oils to your clay paste or up to two tablespoons of herbs. Not sure which additions to try? Below are some suggestions based on ingredients used in actual spa body wraps.
Essential Oils: lavender, sage, lemon, sandalwood, lemongrass, rosemary, and grapefruit.
Herbs: alfalfa leaf powder, ground basil, chamomile flower powder, rose petal powder, and rosehip powder.

Preparing for Your Detoxifying Body Wrap
Experiencing a body wrap is not a process that can be rushed. So make sure that you schedule at least an hour and a half of uninterrupted bathroom time before you begin.
Gather together:
Your clay mixture
Thin cotton towels, spa wrapping sheets or a clean, 100% cotton sheet for wrapping
An inexpensive thermal foil blanket (optional)
A tall glass of chilled drinking water (with a lemon wedge if you have it)
Soothing music
Scented candles

Take a warm shower to open your pores and pat your body dry. Apply the clay mixture onto your body part-by-part, wrapping yourself snugly as you go along. The object of the wrapping is to create gentle pressure on the body to compress the tissue together for greater release of toxins. (Spa wrapping sheets are specifically designed with this end result in mind, so if you can find a source to buy them, it’s not a bad idea.)

As you can imagine, covering your body in clay can be a messy endeavor. That’s why, when your application and wrapping process is complete, you’ll want to relax in an empty bathtub while you detoxify.

If you haven’t done so already, light your candles and turn on your soothing music. Grab a hand towel to support your neck, climb into the tub and relax for 45 minutes to an hour. Sip your lemon water and enjoy the feeling of pampering your body head to toe. If you start to feel chilled, cover yourself with a thermal foil blanket if you have one, or a clean cotton throw.

When your herbal body wrap process is complete, discard the wrappings and take another warm shower (without soap) to rinse the clay from your body. Following your herbal body wrap, drink plenty of water to help your tissue continue to detoxify. For optimal results, avoid caffeine, sugar, alcohol, fried foods and artificial ingredients for 24 to 48 hours after your wrap to give your body a “break” from these common toxins.

You can help your body with its natural cleansing process and encourage weight loss in the process. While it is true that your body can detoxify and cleanse naturally, it is also true that your body takes care of every day functions on its own. These functions include digestion and immunity among others. But it is a fact that you must provide the proper foods to keep these functions strong. The same is true for the body cleansing function.

You body uses vitamins like A, C and B to make new skin cells, hair and nails. Once you provide the nutrition, your body makes these cells all by itself. It works the same way for cleansing and detoxification. You must provide the right nutrients and create the right conditions so your body can perform these activities.

Use detox drinks along with any weight loss or detox diet. The various drinks contain different compounds that help your body cleanse and detoxify itself. The nutrients support your organs that detoxify while other promote elimination of toxins and waste.

Our first drink is made with cranberry juice and green tea. Brew 2 cups of green tea, mix them together with pure cranberry juice and sweeten with stevia. Be sure to check the label on your juice and use only 100% without additives. Do not buy pre-made green tea as these usually contain unhealthy sweeteners.

This drink is particularly powerful at flushing fat. Cranberry juice is used in fat flushing diets to clear toxins and fat out of the bloodstream. It also works as a diuretic and helps the body get rid of bacteria. Green tea is high in antioxidants and helps protect from cancer. It assists the detox drinks by helping your body flush abdominal fat.

Pomegranate juice in our next powerful drink. It is an excellent body and blood cleanser and has been shown to promote blood flow to the heart, lower bad cholesterol and even reduce arterial plaque. This is a drink that will help cleanse you while protecting your health. Use only pure pomegranate juice which can be found at your local market or make your own.

Lastly we have a vegetable juice made with a beet and celery. This is a powerful combination of the two top cleansing vegetables to help your body eliminate excess waste, fluid build up and toxins. Make it fresh using organic veggies for the best flavor and enzyme action.

Studies show that celery contains eight cancer fighting compounds. It is rich in natural sodium, not table salt, which naturally keeps the body hydrated even in high temperatures. It is also a diuretic and lowers cholesterol. Longevity research shows that beets are a blood cleanser, blood builder, helps clear the liver and even dissolves stones.

Use detox drinks to help your body cleanse and detox. Give your body a fighting chance in this toxic world. These drinks support your body’s natural ability to get rid of toxic waste and buildup so you can keep your body clean, healthy and lose the waste and weight.

Best reply by Emile:

I did fatloss4idiots diet plan and I lost about 50 pounds in not even 3 months. And I’ve kept it off for almost 2 years now. I found it to be the easiest diet because it pretty much told you what you could and couldn’t eat and you didn’t have to count points or anything like that. What I lost really isn’t typical for the amount of time I did it but I know others who have done it and they got really good results from it as well.
