Per request, here is more information on the detoxifying body wraps I am trying out.
They recommended that I do 2-3 a week for a few weeks if I really want to see and feel body sculpting results. While I did initially purchace the package of 5 wraps (on sale for $89) to try and slim my problem area (love handles) and kick start my visual results from this 100 day personal challenge, I have found that the detoxification that comes from these is what I benefit from more. So, I am doing my wraps for 5 weeks on Mondays~~ weekends tend to be when I drink or eat snacky foods so my body clearly builds up toxins and these wraps leave me feeling refreshed.
How they work. I go in and they wrap these infrared silicone bandages around my thighs, hips and abdomen... and then they give me the option of having my upper arms wrappped or my calves~ I've been doing arms. These bandages/pads are put over my clothing and then the woman covers me with a blanket. I lay there and can watch tv for 50 minutes... and sweat. You sweat a lot! There is a fan in the room that you can turn on if you want. This week, to up my experience I wore a long sleeve top with a hood. I took my hood off after about 25 minutes.
They actually recommend that you do bring a water bottle and drink throughout the 50 minute session. The idea is that these wraps aren't just dehydrating you, you can keep yourself hydrated as you sweat out all the toxins in your system.
Here is the link from the place where I go here in Utah as well as a few other links to informational resources about infrared body wraps and their benefits.

- I couldn't find any articles from medical journals about this technology aside from wound treatment/chronic pain treatment... but it is new and I'm sure those will be published in time.
