How Slimming Body Wraps Work
How Body Wraps Work Body wraps work through several mechanisms, by absorbing the fluids surrounding the fat and skin cells, by chemically stimulating the fat cells to empty out their contents and by compacting those cells together mechanically.
Absorption in generally achieved by the use of clays or plant materials that are known to draw fluids and toxins out of the skin. In my experience, the most effective of these are the cosmetic clays.
Chemically stimulating the fat cells to empty their contents is achieved by the use of caffeine-related chemicals - aminophylline and theophylline found in many plant extracts, and by the stimulation of the adrenoreceptors on the fat cells.
Compaction is achieved by tightly wrapping the body so that cells are encouraged to bind closer together to fill the empty spaces left by the now-absent fluids.
The fluids surrounding the fat and skin cells are called 'interstitial fluids' and these fluids carry toxins and metabolic wastes from the cells and into the blood stream or lymph system for removal. Exposure to toxins and a sedentary lifestyles can slow this process of detoxification and result in water retention, toxic buildup and overload of the lymph system.

Reducing the Appearance of Cellulite
CELLULITE
“Cellulite” is a skin condition that gives the appearance of small bumps and ripples under the skin. The bumps are caused by the underlying fat cells growing too large and stretching the natural fiber compartments that hold the skin to the underlying layers of tissues.
"Cellulite" is ordinary fat, but ordinary fat that affects the appearance of the skin. Strands of fibrous collagen tissue connect the skin to the subcutaneous layers and also separate compartments that contain fat cells. When fat cells increase in size, these compartments bulge and produce a rippled appearance of the skin.
Women tend to have cellulite more often than men because they have a vertical pattern of collagen in the underlying layer that holds the fat cells, and when the fat cells become very large, they bulge out of the chambers and appear as cellulite. In men, the pattern of collagen is tighter, in a diagonal pattern, and they have thicker skin, so there is less bulging of the individual fat cells. Another factor in cellulite is high levels of estrogen, since this hormone has a direct effect on the holding capacity of fat cells through the increase of alpha-adrenoreceptors, the chemical doorways that tell your fat cells to hold on to their contents. Poor diet, bad circulation, and poor lymphatic circulation can all contribute to the appearance of cellulite.

NATURAL TREATMENTS FOR VARICOSE AND SPIDER VEINS
NATURAL TREATMENTS FOR VARICOSE AND SPIDER VEINS
Varicose veins and telangiectasia (spider veins) are the visible signs of an underlying venous insufficiency problem, where venous blood escapes from the normal flow of blood into an already congested leg.
Spider Veins are a mild form of venous insufficiency, which are cosmetically unappealing, but generally not dangerous or health threatening.
Varicose Veins are a more serious form of venous insufficiency that can accompany other symptoms, including pain, soreness, burning, aching, throbbing, cramping, muscle fatigue, and restless legs. Over time, chronic venous insufficiency can lead to skin and soft tissue breakdown.
Venous insufficiency is caused by valves in the veins that have broken down. These valves prevent blood flow back to the arteries. If their integrity is compromiseD, blood can accumulate and collect. This condition in aggravated in people who are sedentary or obese and likewise aggravated by hormonal imbalances found in pregnancy or with the use of HRT and chemical birth control.
