By Essie Osborn


To create a personal body wrap might seem to be complicated but the steps can be simplified by know certain tricks. However, this would involve careful planning and schedule before you would even start. Also, you would have to take time in shopping for the products to be used.

There are packages sold in which you can use in an instant but you may choose to create your own. Spa heat wraps are mainly made of bandage rolls made of elastic fiber and has varying sizes and are currently sold in many drug stores. An adult would need fifteen rolls in an average.

The next thing that must be done is to get a number of safety pins that are larger and you may purchase them or you may already have them in your kit. This would be helpful in fastening the piece in place. There are also bandages that already included in them clips but if you want to have your work faster, pins are better used.

Moreover, you would also need to buy the solution or if you want to, you can formulate your own and start by knowing the necessary ingredients. Most of these would depend on your aroma therapeutic preferences. You will also be able to adjust the contents based on what you want or your needs if you make your own.

One more thing that you should be informed about is that you must also have a PVC suit that is used for working out which can be bought in stores for sporting goods. This is not very pricey and its material is rubber like which is effective in promoting sweating. This is not among those sweat suits which are made of fleece but this is secured by strings or velcro too.

Then, you will have to determine where you will be applying the pieces because you would have to switch heater and regulate it to the proper temperature. You may also choose to stay in the bathroom and you can bring therein a small and portable heater. Doing this will prevent you from feeling chilly during the application.

It should follow then the setting up of all the tools which you have already gathered all together before you start the application. While you wait through the whole process to finish, you can bring along with you a book so you would not be bored. The solutions should also be mixed with warm water before applying.

You will then have to pour the solution you mixed into a bucket and make sure that it would be sufficient to soak the bandages. To ensure that these will not cause burning, you may adjust the tub water temperature or add cool water into the bucket. You must soak the pieces in a way that they will all absorb the solution before removing them.

Furthermore, you need to wrap your body with these tightly but avoid making it too much that it will block your circulation. Start with your lower legs and end right on top of the knee and do this alternately for each limb. Any skin should not be exposed but they should be covered.
