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.
