Herbal Wraps for a slim body

Herbal wraps  have been around for centuries. This body wrapping technique helps eliminate built up toxins and impurities in your body. Typically, they are found in high end Abu Dhabi spas along with a high end price tag.

How do they work?

The process of herbal wrap begins with exfoliation. Your body must be prepared for the moisturizing treatment. Most ingredients are sea salt or sugar for scrubbing and exfoliating. These are all natural ingredients which are good for your skin. The removing of the dead skin cells is important step in the herbal wrapping process. 

The next step would be to apply the wrap mixture to your body targeting the most cellulite ridden areas which is usually the mid section of your body. Your body will be firmly but not tightly wrap with the towels, cotton linens or plastic.

The therapist will ask you to lie down on a bed and relax for 45 minutes to 1 hour. When the time is up, she will unwrap the towels and rinse off the mixture gently using warm water.

The objective of herbal wraps is for you to sweat out in order to eliminate the toxins. But please take note that the results may vary from person to person. Some people may have a very intense detoxification while others may not.

The most common herbal body wrap can consist of clay and salt. You can opt for a more complex wrap which contain herbs, essential oils and nutritional ingredients. Natural essential oils maybe  lavender, lemon, lemon grass, rosemary, grapefruit and basil.

Herbal wrap is an effective method for getting rid of cellulite and slimming your body. It helps eliminate built up toxins and impurities. Abu Dhabi Spas can charge 183 AED for just one body wrapping session.

Some additional tips

You should avoid alcohol, sweets, starches and soda drinks before and after your wrapping session. Carbonized drinks hold in toxins and this slimming technique will not work for you. You should also limit your salt, sugar and caffeine intake.

Although the herbal wrap is an  effective way  in reducing cellulite, that alone won’t get rid of the problem. It is advisable to incorporate exercise and a balanced diet  in your slimming program.

Although you can do this at home on your own, you must visit best spas in Abu Dhabi like “The Victoria Spa and Salon” for best results. If you combine all these methods and techniques together, you should be free of cellulite in no time!
