How to Lose Weight Fast With Body Wraps

Body wraps are used for health and cosmetic purposes. They not only provide the skin with rich nutrients, but are also purported to improve circulation and clear toxins from your body. You'll see them used for weight loss as well. However, when you shed pounds with a wrap it's primarily water weight. While not a true method to speed weight loss, performing a regular body wrap session will improve your skin tone.

Things You'll Need

• Essential oil such as lavendar, sage, lemon, olive and rosemary

Instructions

• 1

  Pour 2 cups water and ¼ cup sea salt in a small pot. Boil them on the stove until the sea salt has completely dissolved. Incorporate your remaining ingredients -- 2 tbsp. essential oil of your choice and 1 cup green clay -- and adjust the heat level until the mixture forms the consistency of wet paste.

• 2

  Rub the heated mixture thoroughly onto your body. Tightly wrap a clean white sheet around your body. You may need the help of a second person.

• 3

  Lay in a bathtub for 45 minutes to one hour before removing the body wrap. According to QualityHealth.com, the heated clay mixture and the compact nature of the wraps will draw toxins from your body and cause you to sweat out water weight.

  Finish with a hot Epsom salt bath to complete your detox process. Epsom salt helps to reduce swelling and relax your muscles. Simply fill the tub with hot water along with 1 cup Epsom salt, a handful of sea salt and 2 tbsp. bath oil.
