Other Body Wraps

Although clay, mud and seaweed body wraps try to achieve the same results, there are major differences between how the InfraRed Body Wrap and other body wraps work. Clay bandages are heated in a pot. The problem with this is that once they are removed, they quickly decrease in temperature. Time is then spent wrapping the client, which takes 15 minutes or more. During the wrapping process, the bandages continue to decrease in temperature. So once the client is wrapped, the heat level has gone so low that the system is only effective for the initial 10 to 20 minutes of the one-hour treatment. The heat dissipates and becomes virtually inadequate. (Keep in mind that clay wraps warm the body from the outside in.)

Understand that the argument against other methods of wrapping does not claim that they do not work. The claim is that they are not as effective. Following is another example of how other wraps are not as effective.

A sauna warms the body from the outside in, which makes the body release sweat within minutes. The body's natural function is to keep cool causing the body to merely perspire. Therefore, any temporary reduction in weight is generally from water that has been perspired.

The InfraRed Body Wrap, as opposed to the above methods, uses infrared heat. Through the many years of its use, infrared has come to be known as a treatment with many benefits. It has been used in hospitals, chiropractic centers, and is used by sports therapists.
