It acts as an interface between the internal and external environments. Consisting of the epidermis, dermis and the hypodermis. The major functions of the skin are: 1. Protection. The skin serves as a barrier that prevents microorganisms and other substances from entering the body. 2. Body Temperature Regulation. Considerable heat is lost through the skin. Even under conditions of high temperature or exercise, the body temperature remains almost normal. 3. Excretion. The evaporation of perspiration acts to cool the skin. In addition, small amounts of waste product and salt leave the body through sweat. 4. Sensation. Nerve endings in the skin provide the body with a great deal of information about the outside environment. 5. Vitamin D Production. In the presence of sunlight or ultraviolet radiation, a substance in the skin is altered to produce vitamin D3, necessary for the absorption of calcium and phosphate from food. The epidermis is the surface layer, the layer that we see. It serves us as the protective layer. The dermis is the middle layer that contains the glands and the connective tissues. This layer helps complete the absorption process by carrying whatever is placed on the epidermis to the deepest part of the skin and throughout the body. The hypodermis contains the adipose tissues or fat layer. This is the layer that contains your fat cells. There are several therapies combined in the body wrap process. I will outline and explain these therapies to show you the development of an effective body wrap. You will have a clear understanding of how the body wraps work and why it is a permanent treatment for inch loss.
Thasso-therapy is a therapy that is used by the Greeks and Romans for healing that consists of using seaweeds to heal and benefit the body.

Wrapping Instructions The wrapping process is easy, however to do a full body wrap, you may need a friend to assist you in covering all areas. For spot wrapping, like your stomach or legs and thighs, you can accomplish this alone. To start, use a tape measure to measure the areas you are going to wrap so that you can see the inch loss. Make sure the wrapping mixture is wet and easy to spread. Spread an even portion over the area to be wrapped. If you are doing a full body wrap, you should cover one area at a time or the process can be quite messy. Make sure wrap clothes are hot when wrapping the area of the body. The cloths should be wrapped firmly but not so tight that it cuts off your circulation. They should also overlap when wrapping and starting a new area of your body. Attach the wrapping cloth clips securely to cloth when you reach the end of the cloth. When all wrapping cloths are securely on, cover your body with a long robe, large towels, or a blanket to keep you warm. Lay down in a relaxing position for a minimum of 45 minutes up to 1 hour. While you are relaxing you will feel the cloths actually become looser as you are loosing inches. Unwrapping should be done in the bathroom so that the cloths can be rinsed out and you can rinse off. Wash the cloths in a fragrance free liquid soap or borax. You should rinse your body off in lukewarm water only. Also, for the following three days, showers should be taken in lukewarm water only. Avoid high fat foods, salt, and sugar for the next three days. Again, measure the wrapped areas to compare your measurements before the wrap. Apply your post-wrap oil. Illustrated
Instructions Enhance your Results You can enhance the results you achieve by following the guidelines below. 1. Dry Brush Massage – One of the best ways to cleanse the skin without removing the protective mantle of acid and oils. To remove dead skin cells and to prepare the skin for the wrap, use a dry brush to slough off dry dead skin. This treatment removes dead skin cells, stimulates the sweat glands and opens up the pores. Brush the skin in a circular motion and always brush towards the heart. This is one of the simplest treatments you can give yourself with great benefits. The Kloss Family outlines the many benefits of the dry brush massage in “Back to Eden”. You can purchase a dry brush in the health food store or drug store. Make sure you use a soft bristled brush. Dry brushing on a daily basis will improve circulation and combat cellulite. 2. Hydrate – Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water a day. Water helps flush out toxins and keeps your organs working properly as I stated earlier in your program. 3. Seaweed Bath – A day or two before your body wrap take a hot seaweed bath. Whole leaves should be used and can be obtained from health food or some grocery stores. Soak the seaweeds in hot water you can either pour the entire mixture in your bath or strain it and add Sea Salt. This bath has some of the same benefits as the wrap. You may take these once a week for detoxification. Also use one of the supplements mentioned in tip #5 to increase absorption. Sit in the tub for 45 minutes and maintain temperature by allowing water to constantly drip in the tub. 4. Steam or Heat – If you have access to a sauna, relax in there for up to 20 minutes of your wrap to help keep the pores open. You can also use your bathroom by turning the hot water on in the shower and sink to get your bathroom steamed up. You may also use a sauna suit to help keep the body warm and keep the pores open. 5. Supplement – Two great supplements that increase circulation are Ginger and Cayenne Pepper. Take 2 of one of these 20 minutes before your body wrap. They stimulate circulation, open the pores and increase the absorption of the body wrap solution. As an extra benefit you can also add the extract of either one or both to your wrap mixture. Use about 10-12 drops. Another great supplement that can be taken internally is Green Tea. In addition to being a great Antioxidant, it is also a natural stimulant with no harmful side effects. You may take it in a capsule form or as a tea. Frequently Asked Questions How does the body wrap work? It works with a combination of compression and detoxification through the skin.
