Body Wrap Product Ingredients
All of the ingredients in our Body Wrap formulas have a specific task to perform. Below is a showcase of some of the ingredients and their functions.
Bentonite Clay
Bentonite Clay absorbs toxins, fats and oils, and can never be absorbed by the body so it’s not harmful in any way. Bentonite Clay is so effective because it is negatively charged, and most toxins in our body have a positive charge. It acts like a magnet that attracts toxins and draws them into the centre of the clay where it is held.
Magnesium
Magnesium is a drawing agent that works in conjunction with the Bentonite Clay to remove heavy metals like Aluminium and Lead as well as toxins out of the body. Magnesium draws the toxins to the surface so Bentonite clay can attract them. Magnesium also stays in the system for days after, to continue detoxing it.
Bladderwrack
Bladderwrack is a form of kelp that has been used medicinally for centuries. The main use of the herb has been for the stimulation of the thyroid gland, as a treatment for obesity and cellulite. The high iodine content of the herb stimulates thyroid function, which boosts metabolism.
Kelp
Kelp is good for those troubled by water weight. Diuretics clean out the system and assist in shedding water and the toxins in the system. Kelp is the number one herb for supplementing iodine.
Japanese Green Tea
Japanese Green Tea has been the focus of exciting new studies indicating its effectiveness in raising metabolism for weight loss, and preventing and fighting cancer and other diseases with its super antioxidants.
Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera absorbs into the body 4 times faster than water, which helps to normalize fluid levels by regulating the acid/alkaline balance in the body to reduce inflammation and fluid retention, allowing toxins to flow out of the cells more freely and nutrients to flow in. Only the purest Aloe has been used in our unique Aloe Vera Concentrate and Herbal Concentrate. It has been cold processed to preserve all of the nutrients and vitamins found in the Aloe Vera plant. Our Aloe Vera concentrate contains 99% Aloe Vera.
Horse Chestnut
Horse Chestnut is an astringent, anti-inflammatory herb that helps to tone the vein walls which, when slack or distended, may become varicose, haemorrhoidal or otherwise problematic. The plant also reduces fluid retention by increasing the permeability of the capillaries and allowing the absorption of excess fluid back into the circulatory system.
Dandelion
Dandelion is used by modern naturopathic physicians to detoxify the liver and reduce the side effects of prescription medications.
Butcher’s Broom
Butcher’s Broom was approved by the authoritative German Commission E as a supportive therapy for chronic venous insufficiency – a condition causing pain, swelling, and fatigue in the calves. Chronic venous insufficiency is related to varicose veins. The Commission also recommended butchers broom for treatment of haemorrhoids. At least one clinical trial found that butchers broom may relieve lymph oedema (arm swelling) following treatments for breast cancer.
