Detox Wrap
- Flash is required!
Do you feel a little strange? Sluggish maybe, or under the weather? Maybe it’s time to visit a place that specialises in detoxicology, such as Tracey Habron’s The Body Project.
Detoxicology isn’t just a big word. It is about looking at a variety of methods of detoxing.
The usual detox is to change our diet for a period of time but that is only a small part of detoxing the body. Other ways to detox are by reducing your overall toxic load by limiting the use of various synthetic personal care products, filtering your water, or having detox body wraps and ‘detox box’ treatments.
So how exactly do you know if toxins are wreaking havoc on your body? Well, maybe you feel sluggish or not one hundred per cent well. You might suffer from headaches, asthma or a ‘foggy brain’.
Toxins are nasty things. They age the body, disrupt our hormonal patterns and some can even make us fat!
Toxins are everywhere. They’re in our food, in the air, and even in our clothes! We live in what Tracey calls ‘chemical soup’ and it can’t be good for our health.
Tracey specialises in two forms of detox – the universal contour wrap and the detox box.
"The clay in this wrap detoxes the body just like a clay mask for your face. Just like you put clay on your face to pull out the impurities, this does exactly the same. It removes the impurities and the elasticised bandages actually push everything firmer against the body which is why you get such a smoothness on the skin."
Tracey uses only natural products in her wrap – bentonite clay, a variety of minerals, bandages, and warm water. The simplicity is effective and patients notice a difference immediately after the wrap is removed.
It’s fantastic for helping cellulite – which is just toxified fatty deposits – and it also leaves your skin tighter, smoother and softer.
If a body wrap isn’t really your style, then why not try the detox box?
"This is the detox box. It’s a far-infrared sauna, which is similar to a normal sauna in that it heats the body and causes you to sweat but it does this at a much lower temperature of around 45 to 50 degrees."
This type of heat works by penetrating around four centimetres under the skin and warming the body. As the temperature increases, the body sweats and this removes toxins.
Whether you choose the body wrap or the detox box, both will lower your toxic load so you feel more vital.
Anyone can benefit from these detoxifying treatments, so why not give it a go? You’ll feel fantastic on the inside, and the outside will reflect your new-found healthiness!
