Steps In Making Do It Yourself Spa Heat Wraps

By Essie Osborn


Making a body wrap might seem a tedious thing to do but actually the preparation would be simple only that it might take time. You might even spend a few days to shop for the needed products because some might not be readily sold in stores. This is the reason why the whole thing should be properly scheduled.

You would not have to buy the ready made ones but you can certainly make your own. Spa heat wraps would primarily need rolls of elastic bandages which come in various sizes. They are already available in drug stores or you may order them from medical supply companies and an average adult would need fifteen rolls.

The next step that you have to take is to buy some safety pins which are large enough to fasten the bandages or you may look for them in your sewing kit. These will be needed because it would be hard to keep the whole thing in place if not because of these. Most of the bandages would already include some clips however pins would be better for a smoother work.

Moreover, you must also obtain the needed solutions which are available in stores but you may also constitute your personal formulation. First, you should obtain the ingredients that will be added. The fractions would be dependent on your health needs as well as your preferences when it comes to aromatherapy.

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 should also be turning on the heater inside your home or if you will be applying the pieces in the bathroom, you can bring a small portable heater. This would be helpful in keeping you from feeling chilly during the application. You should also make sure that there will be no drafts in the room.

You would then be ready to get all the things together for the wrapping so that you will be able to complete the whole set up. You may also get some books to ready which can preoccupy you when you wait while the application is being done. Then, the solutions you got would be mixed all together with hot water.

The mixed solution should then be poured into a bucket which should be enough for the soaking of the bandages. To avoid burning your skin, you may add cooler water or adjust the temperature of the tub. Then do the soaking until the ingredients would be absorbed and then remove one wet wrap at a time.

Furthermore, wrapping these on your body should be tight enough but not too much to impede blood circulation. In applying on your legs, start with one leg and then end on the knee and do this with the other leg too. Be sure that no skin will be left exposed.
