How to make your own Slim body wrap that takes inches off your body at home?

Jun 22, 2008 by jonasfanatic36 | Posted in Diet & Fitness

Ive seen various products taht deal with using a body wrap to take off inches...
but is there a way to do it homemade instead of having to buy it?

This kind of weight loss is only water weight and not true weight loss. It is very temporary. It is something that people who can't stick to a diet or exercise look for. Nothing beats a diet and exercise.

How do I make an herbal body wrap to lose inches?

Jun 14, 2007 by Crissy_Jo | Posted in Diet & Fitness

I would like to make my own body wrap to lose inches. What herbs do I need to buy to make the herbal wrap and any good/cheap places to buy them? I know I need to wrap with ace bandages and a thermal wrap over the top.
I know most people believe it is just water loss, but I've heard several say the inches stay off for weeks, not hours. Even if it is water loss, I still want to try this.

Wraps don't work. They are only temporary, it's water weight that will come back.

How do you wrap the body for a slimming seaweed body wrap?

Jan 26, 2007 by intuition897 | Posted in Other - Skin & Body

I have some idea about the recipes and the other requirements, such as keeping the body and room warm to promote sweating...But can anyone explain the actual wrapping technique? What do you use for slimming wraps? Is there something better/wider than tensor bandages? Where do you start wrapping? At the ankles and work your way up? Your arms? Chest, neck, hips... And just how the heck are you supposed to wrap your butt cheeks anyway?? I've tried it, and I can't figure out how to get the bandages in complete contact with the one area that women most want cellulite/fat control: their a**.

Any tips??
If I wanted to go to a day spa, I would. But there are none in my immediate area that offer slimming wraps...just detoxifying seaweed, etc. Nah, I want the kind of wrap that they use compression bandages for. The closest one is 2 1/2 hours away! And it costs $230. Plus they recommend doing a series of wraps. I can't afford 3-6 wraps at $230 a pop! Especially not if I can get a friend to help me do them at home. I just want to know if anyone out there who has HAD one can give me some pointers about wrapping techniques??

I went to a Sybaritic Spa seminar and they recommended wrapping in cellophane. You can use saran wrap. Due to the width of the saran wrap, you can cut it in half to speed up the application.

Start at the ankles, wrapping around and working your way up. Overlap the wrap covering up the center of your previous wrap. Make sure the pressure of the wrap does not impede your circulation.

Check this link for more details on wrapping. I hope this helps.

How to make a homemade BODY WRAP that works?

Jul 09, 2007 by Nilika | Posted in Other - Skin & Body

I've heard something about ace bandages and soaking them in some sort of mineral solution.. Does anyone know what that solution would consist of? I'd like to wrap up just a few parts of my body that I would like to slim down for a function that I will be going to in a few days, so I know that it is only temporary, but it would help! Only serious respondents, please.

Sample of essential oils
Lavender, sage, lemon, sandlewood, lemongrass, rosemary, grapefruit, olive oil

Sample of herbs
Alfalfa leaf powder, ground basil, chamomile flower powder, rose petal powder, rosehip powder

Clay Body Wrap Recipe
1 cup bentonite or green clay
1/4 cup sea salt
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 cups water

Boil water and add sea salt until it is dissolved. Add remaining ingredients and stir. Adjust the water if necessary to form a wet paste.

Rub the mixture over your entire body and cover yourself with thin towels or a clean white sheet. Most salons will recommend that you use proper wrapping sheets as the compaction helps to squeeze the tissues together for greater results.

Lay in the tub for a minimum of 45 min. to one hour.

Has anyone tried the detox body wrap that is supposed to make you lose weight and inches?

Mar 10, 2008 by girlie | Posted in Diet & Fitness

If you have tried it was it a home body wrap or done in a salon. And what were your results, did it work?

According to my doctor, there is exactly one and only ONE way to lose weight on a long term basis, eat less and exercise more. The fat on your body is like a bank account. If you deposit more than you withdraw, you gain. If you withdraw more than you deposit, you lose. Time to start counting calories, eat from a well balanced menu (consult a nutritionist, or a program like weight watchers or Jenny Craig) and exercise more. Then all you have to do is adjust the calories you eat to be less than what you burn and over time, done on a daily basis, you will slowly but surely lose weight, to the tune of 3500 calories per pound of body fat. You do the math. At first, your weight may not change much (or may even slightly go UP!) even though your calorie balance is negative, because you are shifting fat into muscle and muscle is more dense than fat, so your measurements may change while your weight stays pretty much the same for a while, but then, as your muscle mass levels off, you will start losing weight at a faster rate. Things like what you say, wraps, dietary supplement pills and the like are all temporary... if they do anything at all, that is. It never ceases to amaze me at how many people want that silver bullet to drop ten or twenty pounds overnight without having to do any real work to accomplish the goal...

Does anyone know a good recipe for a home made body wrap?

Oct 01, 2007 by Marie | Posted in Other - Skin & Body

I have taken body wraps before in the larger cities where they are available. I am located in a one horse town. I would like to know if anyone had any success with a home made body wrap? Can you give me some directions on how to do one? Thank you!

Body wraps are tricky to do yourself- get someone to help you wrap yourself up in the bandages soaked in product.

Used coffee grounds are good to use as a scrub to help cellutile. Anything w/ algae is great to use because it is a detox. If you are wanting a refreshing wrap, use peppermint oil mixed w/ olive oil or jojoba oil. These will smooth skin & soften it up.

If you are wanting to lose water weight this is the way to go, but remember as soon as you rehydrate yourself, the weight will be right back. It is just a temporary loss of inches.

Once you have yourself all wrapped up, wrap yourself in a plastic sheet of some sort to help you sweat out toxins & impurities.

What should I use to wrap myself when I do a body wrap at home?

It's the body wrap to lose inches off my waist, what should I use.. towels?..plastic??...

Thanks for yout time!

Heres the info, you should def check out the sourced link below:

Making some cloth wraps:
You can use medical bandages or a cotton sheet that has been cut into strips to wrap your body in. Make sure that these are small enough to handle and roll them up ready to use. The main object of these bandages is to allow the fat cells to collapse under the compression of the bandages or wraps.

It is however important to stay warm, so if your room is too chilled wrap yourself in a washable blanket lay back and relax for a good 60 minutes.

My Body Wrap Party!

Last night I hosted a body wrap party at my salon.  My upline Renee, flew from Missouri to Oregon to help train me more on the body wraps and to help do the party.  Boy, am I glad she was here!  I also had 2 other distributors here in town that also attended and helped.  Christine and Patrice.  Unfortunately my business partner Andrea could not make it. I had been passing out invites for a month all over town.   The party started @ 6:00 by the time 6:00 rolled around my little salon was packed!  We had 20 ladies that came to find out more about these wonderful products and one gentlemen.  I was so exited to see a guy there, but after he saw all those women he kind of hid in the other room then told me he was feeling really overwhelmed and left. Ha ha.  Poor guy!  He will come in this week for a wrap when there are not a ton of ladies!   I also had a massage therapist there, Connie and she didn't even have time to wrap.  She was doing 5 minute massages for $5 and lots of ladies took advantage of it!   Unfortunately I did not get mine! The party started out right away with wrapping people.  We wrapped about 10 ladies.  Then we went over products and what they could do for you.  The products are fabulous, are all natural and help you to become healthy!  During the talk we gave away 2 chin/neck wraps! An hour has now passed and it was now time to take off the wraps.  We had great results, one lady lost a total of 4 inches in her middle.  The ladies that did the neck wrap lost 1 inch and the other lost 1/2 inch.  They looked great!  The most important thing to remember is that they all detoxed and it will be so much better for them!  The inch loss will continue over the next 72 hours for most of those ladies. If you were not able to make the party but want to find out more information or book a party yourself...
