What is the treatment?
A detoxification wrap is a body treatment that is performed to eliminate toxins from the skin and tissues. In this therapy, the body is wrapped with a material of plastic or cloth to promote the sweating process. Then the material is left on for some time to continue the detoxification. This process increases sweating, which helps to draw out impurities and excess fluids while nourishing and hydrating the skin.

The philosophy of detoxification wraps therapy follows the holistic approach where the mind, body, and soul are treated as a whole instead of just the involved area. It helps to detoxify the skin which can improve the overall health of the individual by stimulating the lymphatic system and natural detox process of the body.
