Ladies Things

I had a body wrap and they said I lost 13 inches. Is that for real? Does the inches stay off or is it just temporary water weight lost? Anyone havea mineral body wrap and did the inches stay off? They told me to wear tight clothes and it keeps working for 24 hours. What do you think? My husband says I don't look thinner and it is a hoax.

You will lose water weight and it should stay off long enough for you to fit into a smaller size for a formal or reunion...but shouldn't use it for that...It is more of a way to detox your body and you could lose healthy minerals that you body needs for energy.

Victoria Peterson & Mary Pearsall describe how "It Works!" mineral and herbal body wraps help "Get Your Sexy Back" and ...

I am trying to see if anyone has had any luck with mineral body wraps. Does anyone know what they do and if they work and how well they work and are there any negative side affects?

yes they work..they can you leave you tingly and weak, or they can have no affect at all..but it definitely gives you softer skin.

Preparing your ingredients
Once you have your ingredients ready boil 1.8lts of water in a large stainless steel stockpot. Once it has reached boiling point add the herbs and remove the pot from the heat. Add all the remaining ingredients to the pot stir well and allow it to cool down for 10 minutes.

Application process:
Dip your bandages or cloth wraps into the mix one by one making sure your mud mix stays warm, you may need to re-heat it if it cools too quickly. Thoroughly soak each bandage into the mix then wrap it around your body starting from your ankles and working your way up. If you are getting help with this one by all means wear underwear it wont make much difference to the outcome. 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.

I had a few sessions of Body Wraps done at this salon called Hollywood Body Wraps..In Lakeland, Fl...I visited this salon on Nov 06 ...I had never heard of Body Wraps until my Rheumatologist suggested I should get a few done to alleviate my pain (I’ve lived Rheumatoid Arthritis for 4 yrs and the pain was just unbearable) I must say that after my first wrap I was feeling so much better. The lady explained that the minerals remove impurities ...After my 3rd wrap I amazingly did not fit into my pants ..I was very active, my husband was in disbelief. Now My question, it's been awhile since I had these done...will my symptoms come back? Should I get a few done a year? I'm really afraid to get back the pain. I get so much done now and you never here me say my joints hurt..It's been 1yr and 7 months. I am looking into all natural supplements and Minerals since I think that's what took my pain away. My husband thinks I'm going crazy, but I feel the medications were killing me. What do u think?

Nice.

Does it work What kind of inch loss did u have?

I did two years ago to lose inches before my wedding.


Positives:

I lost a ton of inches and skin firmed up especially thighs. It also made my skin look/feel good. I think my good result is that I tend to retain water a lot but after two months the results went away. I think if you go back regularly you could have good results.

Negatives:
I thought the guy who did the wrap was a little creepy though and NO one else was there, the lights were dim. The place I went too just seemed unclean. You could see the mineral crystals all over the floor. They will wrap you, then you are supposed to jump on a mini trampoline for 45 minutes. If you have any kind of knee or leg issue that could be unsafe because as you are jumping the wrap is also losing water it's slippery they had ziplock baggies on my feet...

Overall, if the place seems high caliber, feel free to try it, but if you have any doubts, please don't do it. I liked the loss of inches, but will not go back.
