Hi Mamas. Have any of your tried de-tox treatments or body wraps? I have never had one but I've been contemplating it. What exactly do they do? I have heard of de-tox wraps as well but I've also heard of de-tox foot baths too. What about de-tox juices or drinks? What do they do etc. I would like some advice about these three things for those of you that have tried it.
Thanks so much
I won't speak to detox drinks, but as far as a wrap goes - this is my opinion: Why on earth would someone spend money on a wrap? How about putting on a few layers of clothing, and then going out for some vigorous exercise? You will sweat out plenty of toxins that way, and it will be free.
IMO wrap = gimmick.
Hi K., check out Dr. Oz's two-day cleanse. It's basically a detox plan so that afterwards you feel rejuvenated (not a diet). In the daily plan there's a breakfast, detox drink, fruit smoothie, vegetable soup. I have tried all recipes and the detox juice drink is my favorite. I didn't do it to lose weight but just to feel good. My first time trying something like this and I like it so much that I drink the detox green juice (it tastes really good) on a regular basis. It does rejuvenate and make me feel healthy. I found this in an issue of People Magazine. (Dr. Mehmet Oz: Healthiest Man Alive - Dr. Oz : People.com)
Arbonne's 7 day body cleanse is fantastic. I have done it several times myself. It gently, using botanically based ingredients, gently removes the build up on your intestines and allows your body to fully absorb all the nutrients from the foods you eat. It is really gentle and you continue to eat healthy while you are on the cleanse. As far as other detox products, we have a whole line of Seasource Detox spa products. These products help remove the toxins that have embedded in your pores as well as help protect your skin from absorbing toxins.
My mom does detox foot baths and has experienced amazing results.
Water and lemon is a great detoxifying drink and so is water with apple cider vinegar.
Those "detoxs' treatments suck the money out of your wallet and that is about it. Useless to say the least. You have a working liver and kidneys and that is all you need to remove toxids from your bloodstream.
hmmm, ok i've heard taht after a massage you need to drink alot of water to flush out the toxins, so i'm guessing that as they knead your muscles, toxins are released and you pee them out.
an aquaintance was telling me about the detox pads that you stick on the bottoms of your feet while you sleep ( an as seen on tv product) and she said that she used it and the pad was dirty when she woke up and took it off, but her friends who were smokers had black tarry stuff on the pad when they took it off.
I've been having some foot pain so i wanted to try an epsom salt soak since I read on the internet that it would also pull the toxins out, I can't figure out how, maybe sweating it out the pores of my feet? but it said to add some bleach to the water and that creeped me out so i haven't done it yet.
so no first hand experience, I would imagine that nothing is going to last oo long before the toxins build back up. but it probably feels good to get the wrap.
I had a wrap done post one of our babies. There WAS some visible effect, but it was temporary and the whole experience was....weird. I felt like I was in a Coen Brothers movie (ir was funny but also creepy and disturbing). Unless you are doing it to write about what it's like, I would not shell out the $$$.
