MAJOR CAUSES OF CELLILITE: * POOR CIRCULATION * SLOWING DOWN OF THE BODY'S WASTE REMOVAL * TOXIC BODY CONDITIONS * IMPRISONMENT OF WASTE ...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...
