Body cocoon wraps top the list of spa treatments that offer cosmetic and therapeutic benefits. Body wraps are therapies that detoxify the body, remove excess fat and fluid from tissues, restore minerals, reduce joint pain, tighten and tone the skin, and nourish and soften the skin. Dating back to ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome body wraps have been traditionally used to beautify the skin, detoxify and heal the body, reduce weight by promoting fluid loss, and soothe the spirit.

The cells of the skin are surrounded by interstitial fluid. This fluid can accumulate in excess within cells and between cells because of a lack of exercise, effects of aging, diets high in salt and sugar, and a build-up of toxins. Wraps contain ingredients designed to draw out these excess fluids while restoring nutrients to skin cells.
