Body Wraps

I found this surfing around years ago and somehow managed to lose the author information to it. So if you are the person who put this together, please email me and let me know how you would prefer I give you credit.

Body Wraps

I prefer the essential oil body wraps because they are less messy. You just apply the oil mixture to the area, then wrap in plastic wrap. Be sure to use therapeutic grade essential oils if you want results. I buy my oils from Young Living Essential Oils. Drink plenty of water after any body wrap.

Essential Oil Body Wrap

30 Ledum oil
15 Grapefruit oil
10 Lemon oil
10 Lemongrass oil
10 Cypress oil
4 oz. V-6 Mixing Oil or Massage Oil Base

Layer the massage table with a tarp (silver lining up)[I got a 6 X 9ft one on sale for $5.99], a wool blanket, a bed sheet, and a thin plastic sheet (like the cheap drop cloth you can buy for painting for$1.00 at Dollar General & can be cut in half).

Lay down on top of the plastic and have someone rub the oil blend all over your body(omitting the chest area). This includes legs, feet, arms, and hands. We used approximately an ounce of the mixture. After the oil is applied, have the person bring the plastic tightly around you tucking it between your legs and between your arms and body. Then the sheet (wrapping it as if you were wrapping a baby in a receiving blanket). Next put a large hot towel over your body, then wrap the blanket around you and finally the tarp. Stay in this cocoon for 45 minutes to an hour. After you are unwrapped you will be wet from the fluid you have shed. It might be wise to wrap up in a dry sheet, towel or blanket to cool down for a while. I don't shower because I want the oils to stay on my body as long as possible.
