These spa detox programs attempt to remove the environmental and food toxins from our bodies and rebuild health.

Many people who use spa detox programs report weight loss, increased energy, and a calmer outlook. Since not all body detox programs are the same, it's important to research various spas to find the right detox program for you.

One of the most popular spa treatments is a body wrap. Body wraps are extremely therapeutic and relaxing spa treatments. Your skin is very porous and absorbs almost everything that it comes in contact with. These substances, which may be good or bad for your health, enter your bloodstream and have a real affect on your body. A wrap is a method of intentionally allowing a therapeutic dose of natural products into your system. Each wrap has a different purpose and has different effects on the body. Organic and natural products, such as seaweed or cocoa, are used as much as possible.

The herbal body wrap is one of the most popular and comforting of spa treatments available. Although unintentional, weight loss can often be achieved as well. Using an assortment of purifying botanical ingredients, the herbal body wrap detoxifies your system and relaxes your muscles. Linen sheets are first steamed in fragrant healing herbs, and then those herb-soaked sheets are wrapped snugly around your body. The result is a sense of deep relaxation made more so by aromatherapy and the playing of soft music.
Some of the herbs used in the body wrap are rosemary to increase blood circulation, comfrey to rejuvenate cells, calendula to release toxins, sage as an antiseptic and anti-fungal property, and lavender to speed cell replacement and balance the system.

Herbal body detoxification spas offer programs ranging from a day to a week or more. Accommodations for longer stays are often in luxurious guest suites, and also provide organic meals, exercise, lifestyle and nutritional sessions. Detox programs shouldn’t be a one time thing, but part of a healthier lifestyle. The best detox spas give you the tools to maintain that lifestyle with better food choices, stress reduction techniques, and reduction of exposure to chemicals.
