Few things to note before even thinking about doing Body Wraps:
1. People with any medical conditions like heart disease, high or low BP, diabetes, pregnancy should not do it.
2. Drink a lot of water ( room temperature ) during and after applying wraps. The body gets dehydrated so it needs a lot of fluid.
3. Can also take herbal tea, green tea,( not very hot ), fresh fruit juice without sugar.
4. Make sure that the room is warm and take rest for at least 2 hrs after doing it.
5. Do not take alcohol before or immediately after going for this treatment.
6. Always apply in upward direction starting from feet.
7. Do not wash off with soap immediately.

Heat 4 cups of water and mix 1 cup of salt. Let it dissolve. Add 3 cups of clay gradually and mix it to a paste. Apply the paste as a even layer on body working upwards starting from feet. Wrap the body in plastic sheet and a blanket. Rest for 30 to 45 mts. Wash off gently by scrubbing gently in circular and upward directions under a shower. Do not apply soap at least for another 6 hrs to get fully benefited.
Multani metti - Sandal wood Wrap :
