How to Massage Stomach After Body Wrap Removal

People get or give themselves body wraps to detoxify the toxins that can prevent weight loss. After a brushing or salt scrub, a seaweed or algae product is applied to your midsection. Most of the wrap products are designed to cleanse the fluid in between the adipose cells. You then wrap up in plastic or mylar. Massaging the stomach afterward can be done by you at home.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Seek out a massage therapist who specializes in body wraps if you aren't doing it yourself. If an esthetician is used, she will simply be rubbing on the lotion rather than using a massage technique.

2. Shower after the wrap to rinse off the exfoliant first. Use warm water. Don't use soap. A warm, damp towel can also be used. The skin should already be moist for the massage.

3. Stand with your feet parallel and bend your knees slightly. Keep your back straight up and down. Breathe normally. Look straight ahead.

4. Rub your hands briskly together to make them warm. Place your hands on top of each other and then on your belly button. Rub in small counter clockwise circles following the course of your colon which goes from left to right. Use comfortable but firm pressure.

5. Circle in a bigger motion gradually for several minutes or about 50 circles. Close your eyes and mentally concentrate that heat is penetrating your stomach. Keep the area warm afterward to gain the most benefit.

Tips & Warnings

• Repeat the massage twice a day to continue the benefits.
