Steps In Making Do It Yourself Spa Heat Wraps

By Essie Osborn


To create a personal body wrap might seem to be complicated but the steps can be simplified by know certain tricks. However, this would involve careful planning and schedule before you would even start. Also, you would have to take time in shopping for the products to be used.

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 would have to turn on the heat inside the home with your heating system or you could bring a portable heater in your bathroom. This would be necessary because you might feel a little chilly when you apply the piece. This will also keep you out of the drafts which cause the chills.

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.

You will then have to pour the solution you mixed into a bucket and make sure that it would be sufficient to soak the bandages. To ensure that these will not cause burning, you may adjust the tub water temperature or add cool water into the bucket. You must soak the pieces in a way that they will all absorb the solution before removing them.

Furthermore, when you have wrapped all of these on your body be sure that it has been done snugly to maximize the benefits. To apply these on your legs, start with one from the lower part and then end up on the knee. In doing the wrapping, no skin should be left exposed but all must have been covered.
