4 Wrap Recipes and bonus recipes too
Most of the supplies can be found at Healthfood stores, (herbs & Essential
Oils, seaweeds, dulse), or, The clays I have gotten from Sabia, on the web, but there are some other online places too.(see websites below) I find a lot of good buys right on Ebay too. I will list the four wraps then the bonus recipes for you. - i've added in some
extras too!
Cellulite Body Wrap
What you will need:
8 drops of grapefruit essential oil
2 drops each of essential oils of thyme, fennel, lavender, geranium,
Juniper berry
2 cups (500 ml) almond oil
Cellophane wrap
Mix all of these together -
This is enough for 1 treatment
How to use the wrap:
1. Turn up the heat in the room you do the wrap in.
2. In a plastic squirt bottle, combine the essential oils with the almond
oil, shaking it well.
3. Exfoliate your skin using a loofah, silk mitt, dry brush or, any other
sisal fiber.
4. While standing in the shower or tub, knead the oil mixture generously into
the skin on your arms, legs and torso, avoiding the face and the neck areas.
5. Encase your legs in cellophane beginning at the toes and working up to the
thighs. I have found it easier to apply the cellophane when the whole
cellophane roll is cut in half or thirds to 2-inch (5-cm) widths. Wrap
snugly, but don't cut off your circulation.
6. Wrap your arms, beginning at the hands and moving up to the upper arms.
Complete by wrapping the torso.
7. Relax in a warm room for 20 minutes. Watch TV, but stay warm while you
relax.
8. Remove the cellphone wrap from your body; shower first with warm water and
then cooler water. Then Pat skin dry and you're done!
Herbal Clay wrap:
Ingredients:
1 cup green clay
1/2 cup dried herbs (chamomile, lavender & rose petals)
If you want a more invigorating wrap use: (peppermint & rosemary
1 TBSP of sweet almond oil
10 drops of essential oil (lavender for relaxing blend) (Rosemary for
invigorating blend)
1 cup distilled or spring water
1 unused paint brush (small)
Cotton Gauze or sheet strips
TO USE:
Boil 1 cup of water. Add herbs and steep for 15 minutes. Set Aside
Combine almond oil & essential oils.
Place clay in medium sized bowl and add almond oil mixture. Then add herbal
water (do not strain)
This will form a nice paste.
Bowl 2 cups of water and place in a larger bowl.
If you are doing this yourself, sit in the bathtub, brush on clay mixture
starting with feet & legs, then dip cotton strips in hot water and wrap.
Continue with arms, then torso. You can also use on face, but do not wrap.
After you are all wrapped, place a warm towel on yourself and relax for 20
minutes.
Rinse with tepid water.
PS: If someone is doing this for you, use a plastic sheet on your bed or sofa
to cover.
Here's some ideas if you want to do your own herbal wrap, then some bath
recipes:
Herbal body wrap make your own and standard recipe:
Make your own - Herbal Body Wrap (non clay):

Cotton strips or plastic wrap can be used (use an old sheet if you have one)
Large spagetti pot
To Make: Put the herbs in the pot
Then pour in boiling water and cover pot, and let sit for 5 minutes.
Remove as many herbs from the solution using a strainer.
If using cotton strips, put them into the pot to steep for 5 more minutes.
You can use ace bandages, torn up sheets, gause, and sometimes I cover that
with plastic wrap.(optional).
for best results: exfoliate your skin with a loofah or other bruth for the
skin, then shower before the wrap. Also drink a lot of water before and
during a wrap, it will help flush everything out.
Remove the cotton strips and wring them out. Wrap each one around your body
snugly, and start with your arms, then follow with your legs, torso and your
head. Once you cover the body, use a plastic poncho or plastic type of drop
cloth to put arond your body, then cover up with a few blankets for about 10
minutes. Unwrap slowly. Do not take a shower for at least 5 hours, or more if
you can go that long.
