Organic Home Body Wrap Kits
If you are looking for a quality body wrap kit that allows you to give yourself a body wrap at home, this company offers several very targeted and specific type wrap kits; they target some unique and interesting areas.

They offer body wrap kits that address cellulite, body odor, pain relief and skin toning. When I first researched this company, they came up as having organic body wrap kits.

However, I've been unable to verify this and the specific pages on different body wraps do not indicate whether or not the ingredients are organic.

If I find a better kit, I'll replace these. Til then, be sure to ask questions about the specific body wrap you want to order.

Pros and Cons of Home Wrapping:
Doing body wraps at home is not for everyone. You need to have a friend who is calm and good with following instructions.

However, the convenience of doing wraps at home and also of knowing all the ingredients in your bodywrap are organic may outweigh the learning curve required to actually do wraps at home.

These home bodywrapping kits target specific problems and include a seaweed and minerals kit for weight loss and toning plus kits for reducing body odor, cellulite, pain, and the appearance of stretchmarks.

When doing bodywraps at home, it's good to have a clear space with plastic sheeting laid down, to stand on. Also, you will probably need large glass bowls for mixing solution, and wooden spoons rather than metal for stirring.

Focus on how tightly you wrap from start to finish and try to be consistent throughout. The wrap should be cozy and tight enough to stay on but not constricting to the point of discomfort.

Important Note about body wraps: Although most people tolerate the herbs in herbal body wraps and most mineral wraps are comprised of minerals the body needs and uses effectively, those on medications should always check with their doctor before doing a body wrap where topicals can soak into the skin.

According to a beauty consultant I talked with, when an herbal body wrap is put on, the skin will absorb about 40 percent of the active ingredients. Same with a mineral wrap.

Important note on body wrap safety: No type of body wrap, even if the ingredients are organic or all-natural, should be used by those who are pregnant or nursing, unless your doctor approves. Also, those with heart conditions should check with their doctor before doing a body wrap.
